My First Foster

Basenji Rescue
  • Yesterday I got my first BRAT foster, Duke, who is super sweet. He is fitting in great and Piper is absolutely in love with him, poor Duke never gets a minute of peace because Piper is always trying to instigate play. She just runs up and smacks him in the face with her paw and runs away trying to get him to chase her, but Duke does not seem to mind and appears to be having a good time with her. He is still not completely comfortable here and will probably still take a little while before he really relaxes and settles in, but we have not had any real problems or major disagreements yet so, so far so good.

  • Duke is a great looking dog! Love the pics of him and Piper :) Lycia is exactly the same with smacking Tillo in the face and then running away.. gg.. always fun to watch.

  • Duke will make someone a wonderful companion and handsome too. The two of them look great together.

  • Duke looks a great Basenji, glad he's settling with you and hope he finds a forever home soon.

  • Thank you so much for opening your home up to Duke.
    I will look forward to stories on how he is settling in.

    Please consider fostering-it is joy to help a Basenji! I have fostered two in the last few years-one a young Basenji who had pups at a shelter and an elderly female whose owners were going into an assisted care facility and were going to have her euthanized within a few days if not rescued. The elderly girl lived a few more years-just shy of her 17th birthday. She had never lived with other dogs before and she was fine with my pack-but my dogs knew that she was older and wanted to be left alone. She was spunky though and would nip at them if they got out of line! If I was not having health problems, I would foster one! Jennifer

    Exactly what I think/feel. As the owmer and mother to the dog we are bound to keep a better eye on them than nobody…right? It is almost like a slap in our face when they say they have to keep them, but oh, yeah, no nobody stays with the animal overnight...are you kidding me? I would push the issue as best I could to see if either they can guarantee supervision in their clinic overnight, or she is coming home with me..
