    1 1/2 year old Basenji female named Bailey,
    Chestnut red in color, sweet personallity and house trained. Her owner has lost their home and just cannot provide for her anymore, so they've made the painful decision to find her a loving family to care for her. Inquiries please contact 767 - 8451 or rsvptoron@aol.com

    The Basenji is known as the barkless dog of central Africa, but the breed is far from silent. It makes a series of noises and a crowing sound that breed fanciers describe as a yodel. This hunting breed, classified as a sighthound, is valued for speedy, intelligent and silent workmanship. It can outsmart most creatures, a trait some people find a downright challenge to cope with in the home. Basenjis are not above trying to outwit the hand that feeds them. Begin training early to stay a step ahead of this dog. Basenjis are fastidious about personal cleanliness. They clean themselves much like cats do. Squarely built. The coat may be black, chestnut red, brindle or tri-color, all with distinctive markings. The coat is easily maintained with weekly brushing. Basenjis are excellent watchdogs and fit well into most homes or apartments, as long as they get plenty of daily exercise.

  • I emailed to rsvptoron@aol.com, too, asking them about the dog. The weird thing about this post (and why I didn't cross-post), is that the person talks in the third person…

    Her owner has lost their home and just cannot provide for her anymore, so they've made the painful decision to find her a loving family to care for her.

    … is this a rescue group? I will let you know if I get a response back. :)

  • I noticed that too. I just thought that maybe it was someone that offered to post the ad for the owner.

    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.? Jennifer

    I hope someone can get this girl. A breeder could get the boy in Dallas and this girl in Houston and start breeding this Fall to try to make money. It happens all the time! I wish people who bought puppies would think before they buy. It costs money to take care of dogs. If they would buy from a reputable breeder, the breeder would take them back instead of listing them on craigslist to sell to anybody! Jennifer

    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! Jennifer
