    He's very handsome. I hope I can go get him :-) I'm going to call after the holidays. It'd just be easier if someone was in the area and could go meet him/pass along info.

  • He's gorgeous

  • Andrew,
    I hope somebody will check him out for you, he is very pretty and coming home with you would make his life so nice..

  • i know there are brat coordinators in MO. You might try contacting someone through them. He is BEAUTIFUL!

  • Andrew - Where is your hometown?
    I hope you have sent an email showing interest and will follow up with a phone call.

    My youngest Basenji, Bailey, doesn't have dew claws. Why is this done?

    Why is what done? Removing dew claws? Most breeders remove dew claws in the US.. if you seach the forum there are a number of threads that address reasons that it has been done for years in the US

    Good. Don't be discouraged if you get a recorded message…someone will get back to you. Be persistent!! Good luck. Keep us posted, please.

    I didn't meet either of my Basenjis before adopting them from www.petfinder.com. Both my girls were hours away from GA; until I picked them up did I know what I was getting. My gut feeling was "that dog needs to live here." (Although, I think that about every abandoned or homeless dog!! :rolleyes:) My girls came with lots of baggage, but in a short time things started to work out well. We are still working on little issues, but nothing serious.

    Lastnight, I was watching my five dogs playing together in the backyard, and it filled my heart with joy seeing them so happy with each other and their home. My dogs all have unpleasant backgrounds of neglect, abandonment, or horrible abuse.

    I called them today and left a detailed message. Hopefully they'll call me back tomorrow.

    I'd have to meet him before I adopt him, unfortunately. I have to make sure it's the best match for Shango….

  • Andrew, Have you heard anything yet? I am dying to know.

  • @Basenjimamma:

    Andrew, Have you heard anything yet? I am dying to know.

    Not yet. Left two messages.Keep your fingers crossed.

  • I'm checking in, too.

    Fingers crossed!

  • Maybe we should all check on the dog and have them contact you. Then they'd have to get back to you quick, or get annoyed by all the B lovers.

    Awww. Such a cute little girl. I think that we would be a good foster for a dog like her, or one of the FL dogs. We have experience working with pathologically shy dogs. We have an already established relationship with a great local trainer, and with a veterinary behaviorist. We have 3 dogs here to help with the socialization. But we have 3 dogs, and a fourth coming within the year. I'm afraid my heart is bigger than what we can really handle. I'm also afraid because there is no guarantee she will be adopted. If I knew it was short-term, and she could go to another place after a few months of work, I would be much more inclined to jump at the chance to foster. But, with the cats we foster, one has been here a year (tomorrow will be a year actually), and another we finally gave in and adopted after 2 years of swearing we wouldn't. The "normal" cats get adopted quickly (we have had about 10 go through our house, with the longest staying 6 mos.), but the behavior cases that need socialization and desensitization/counter conditioning work tend to stay. We have only had 2 foster dogs, and they were great and found great homes, but we are running out of friends to convince to adopt dogs. :) -Nicole

    The pictures are too big to upload but we did make a page that shows her pictures and tells a little more about her… http://www.newfierescue.org/fannie.htm I love our vet office :-) they are very good at what they do. They built a new building and made sure to build big runs for our large dogs that they handle. Thank you for the donations so far. I really appreciate the help with her. If you know of anyone wanting a basenji let us know ;-) Fannie is destructive but Zareefa is not…

    I know, Jennifer, but I was just saying "Yikes" because our name is also Reed. No need to apologize! Terry
