    How to get him to Kansas: Fly? Would be one heck of a BUR run, he's in WA state (Vancouver, bordered with Portland, OR). He's pretty bomb proof so I think he could fly just fine. I dropped several noisy things on purpose last night when he wasn't watching and he just looked.

    Cats: Yes, he's good with cats. No screaming, pulling, chasing, etc. He goes up curious and just looks at them when they make funny sounds.

    House Trained: Yes, not 1 accident. Figured out the dog door in less than 5 minutes by watching the other 2 and taking a couple turns himself.

    Crate Trained: Yes. He whines a little bit when put in, not too loud and only 5 minutes or so. He bolts out when opened, we've been working on this the past 2 days and he's getting better!

    Male Dominant: No. He likes other dogs and would do best with a playmate. He is intact and will be neutered Friday. At a LC trial on Sunday he met plenty of other B's and hummed at a few but no lunging or screaming, etc. Properly introduced I feel he would fall in line with the current boss with no problem.


  • He's so handsome - I hope he finds a forever home soon. x


  • HE sounds perfect. what is the going rate for him and a plane ticket? daughter has a room mate that owns the house so that is the Point of question. he is so beautiful.. i am not sure i will be able to let him go. lol…. but i do NOT NEED another b in my house. 2 is pretty busy. i am POSITIVE i cannot walk another one. those two drag me silly. 🙂
    squirrels and rabbits are NOT my friends. and blowing leaves, and birds, and ... well you get the idea. lol


  • My experience is that brindle boy basenjis are the most perfect dogs. Mine has never done anything wrong and has full house prividges even when we're not home. Always has. I was hoping you could place him near me so that I could see him often and maybe help train him. But, unfortunately, I'm not in the market for another pup.

    Jonny b - maybe with only one eye this one would only see 1/2 the squirrels, rabbits, leaves and birds


  • What a beautiful boy!
    I could fill my home with Basenjis - anyone else feel the same?
    Prayers that he finds a lovely home.

    Ha, ha, ha…yeah, I guess you could say that I could fill my home with basenjis - I have added one a year for the last 3 years. 🙂 although this last one counts for at least 2 (I have my hands full). :D. So I can take off at least a year before I add another. :D:D

    If she's serious she needs to fill out a BRAT app ASAP, we already have 2 other applicants on him. http://www.basenjirescue.org/DOGS/WA/WA-Congo.asp


  • Will my applicant count or she needs a new one of her own? thanks! and do you know the prices? that will make a difference/ 🙂
    if not how /who do i contact to find out how much? thanks

    His adoption fee is $325, and she needs to fill out her own app seems the dog would be living with her correct?


  • She is in love with him but if you have someone to take him she will wait for someone closer to take him…. BUT please, please , please contact us if you cannot find him a good home. WE WILL TAKE HIM if you need us too. thank you!

    Jonny, Congo was snatched up in less than a week! He really is a gem and he'll have a full time companion as well (3 year old Female 😎 which he really needs as he's so playful and loves to snuggle. I can't tell you how many times my 80 lbs ridgeback puppy has plopped himself practically on top on Congo and he's just chill with it all.

    Bless our adopters! To look past his flaw of only having only eye and seeing what a truly golden boy he is was so great! His neuter went fine and he travels to his forever home this Saturday.


  • This is great news. Bless these folks for seeing past the 'problems' and opening their home and hearts to this fella. I am sure he will show them how much he appreciates the good life.


  • Great ending with a new loving home. His one eye is not a problem none of us humans are 100% right.

  • Rita Jean,

    I'd say those of us who are owned by Basenjis must be less that 80% right, in the head anyways…lol


  • Fantastic news for Congo, Yaaaaaay !


  • Congo was very lucky to have Andrea offer to take him in and foster him. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to rehome him as quickly as we did.
    BRAT does need foster homes..its a bother, it can be a pain, but oh, when you see a dog turn around, its wonderful.
    If any of you have time, we can sure use you!
    Andrea..your wonderful!

    i just laughed out loud when i read this - because my brindle boy lenny is the most mischevious little thing EVER!!! love him to death though….

    happy congo has a new home!


  • All b's are wonderful and they all are BAD..but we are the reason they are bad…we haven't learned exactly what the b's require!
