Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • We want to travel so Lucy needs home. We live in Wichita Falls, Tx. She is a sweet dog and loves children but very stubborn and has occasional peeing accidents in home. Would love a place where she could run and play. We're older and she doesn't get enough exercise. Has all shots and has been neutered.

  • Very sorry to hear Lucy has to be rehomed. Have you tried getting in contact with BRAT ?

  • Yes, we have contacted Basenji Rescue altho they have not contacted us back yet.

    Did you get her from a breeder? If so you should contact them as they will most likely take her back.

  • No we got her from Basenji Rescue and I contacted them but they have not contacted me back. We've had her seven months.

    You signed a contract with BRAT that says if you can't keep her you have to give the dog back, correct?

  • I don't remember that but that's what I would like to do. I wish they would contact me so I could give her back. Is that their usual custom?

    I just adopted from a Basenji Rescue here in CA and yes I had to sign a contract. What's the person's name? Maybe the rescue lady here in CA can help. Don't you have papers that you signed?

  • Just curious? Why did you get her in the first place? Did you not know 7 months ago that you wanted to travel?

  • Brat will take back any dog they rehome.
    If you give me your information, I will share it with those folks in Tx who need to know.
    you can do it privately, if you wish.
    I am at brescue@wavecable.com
    I am one of BRAT's workers, and would be happy to help you, if you have not heard back from BRAT.

  • I am so sad that Lucy has to be rehomed. Seven months such a short time. I hope BRAT gets her back and to her forever home. My herat goes to Lucy.

  • Have you heard back from BRAT yet? Please let me or Sharron know and we will try to help you out. How quickly do you need to place her?

  • BRAT is here to help any basenji in need.

  • I am also in contact with my Texas Brat assoc. to see if we can move this along..
    Hang tight, we will get BRAT in contact with you regarding Lucy. By the way, the contract you signed when you adopted her states that you are obligated to let BRAT know if you no longer can keep her, thanks for contacting them..

  • I am the Texas District Coordinator for BRAT. I have been trying for several days to contact you regarding Lucy, but a filter is blocking my email address. Due to long work hours and various other commitments, telephone communication is difficult at this time. Please email me at crazybasenjilady@yahoo.com to discuss. We have a volunteer lined up to retrieve Lucy from your home at your earliest convenience.

    @cathyroy I am not sure what Natasha is doing, if busy or whatever with the holidays. You may be what she wants, but she's got company or otherwise tied up. She did say maybe set up a trial, so give it a few days before getting upset. However, I will make a few observations about the fit. you have small children you say are good with animals, but you don't have one, so how do you know how they will be with one actually living with you? your interest in a basenji is based on their lack of significant shedding. This is not the breed for a family with young children who have little or no experience with dogs. Your husband presumably works, so the dog will mostly be with you and your children. you are wanting to ADD a dog to your family. She isn't looking to give the dog away. Just as you would be careful of who you have babysit your children, she hopefully wants a suitable fit for her dog. For me, that would be someone experienced in the breed or at least a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and is interested in fostering, not taking, my dog. It isn't an easy decision either for her or for someone agreeing to keep her dog.

    I second the notion that a puppy might not be the right fit. There are many mature ones out there that need homes, and would (hopefully!) be less of a hassle, although some Basenjis never seem to outgrow the "puppy" stage! :) BRAT is a good site to start your research, perhaps right here: http://www.basenjirescue.org/REALITY%20STORIES/default.htm
