I saw an ad on Petfinder for a 5 y.o. female basenji being housed by Geisler's Precious Pets of Burgettstown, PA, which is in western PA near the WV and Ohio borders. They want $275 for the adoption. She was rescued from a puppy mill.
I want my house filled with Basenjis no one wants. I love my girls so much and they have come out of their misery from being so mistreated. Makes me so sad to see so many Basenjis that need homes.
Glad he has found a home, so sad he was neglected for a time, how did that happen? If for whatever reason we can't keep Kaiser he is to go back to his breeder and be rehomed by her.

Advertised as an African dog! Owners did not know what type of dog they were buying. This is near Amish country-only 25 miles away from Lancaster and I wonder if they bought her from a local breeder. Has anyone contacted them to find out any additional information like registration, breeder, etc.?

Usually if the owners say a dog is housetrained to the shelter but then the dog messes in the kennel, the shelter will sometimes either state partially housetrained or unknown. Many times, rescues who helps with the dogs from the shelter will state that the dog keeps the kennel clean and goes immediately outside when walked so they assume the dog is housetrained.
I hope they were adopted together!

It is difficult to give up a dog one has had for over 4 years! I lived in an apt. in Houston and I know that unless you walk the dog frequently or have it go to doggy day care and dog parks, the dog will not get enough exercise.
