Need to leave my 11 y.o. B-girl for XMas

    We recently relocated, and don't know anyone with Basenji in the area. Can someone recommend a good sitter or home to leave our good girl? We are near Philly, Chester County. I don't feel comfortable with a sitter that is used to take care of labs and golden retrievers, and knows nothing about Basenjis.

    I have tons of family in Deleware county/Philly. I live about an hour and 20 mins away near Atlantic City. It's a little bit of a drive but I'd be more than happy to help you out. I have a 10yr Basenji. Let me know if you need me! =)

    I know people in Bucks county but not Chester area. Your time is getting short for boarding, so if it looks like that might be the only option, do it pretty quick. Glad to give you my old bucks county vet office who is superb but pet sitters in your area– I don't know of one. :(

    You might reach out to BRAT and ask if they have any foster's in your area that would dog-sit for you. They seem to have Basenji foster parents in every city, so they are experienced with Basenji's and would be able to adapt to short stays. Offer a "donation" of sorts and make it very clear that you are not surrendering your little lady. (worth a shot)

    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    Abbey was almost banned from my son's house after she killed the cat's feather on a stick thingy. We don't have our own cat although she'd like to have one of her own. She loves cats!

    @Forever: I have been looking at him too lol my area my color and he seems sweet and he likes cats too though I can't say my cat will like him. I need to jump in and get my bratt visit done then see what happens. My problem is no fence yet. I know that is a mark against me. It is what keeps me from calling for the visit. We had plans but life happened and no fence again. Zoe seems happy with her daily walks and house play. She doesn't seem to mind being tied outside because we keep her company. I guess when the right time and b happen all will work itself out. But one thing about bratt is my worry about fanconi not sure they are tested. I worry about zoe I dont want that worry with another dog I agree with you… you already know about Zoe... and to adopt another that could be Affected... well, I certainly understand ... and FYI, they are not for the most part DNA tested... it is not something that BRAT requires... I would suppose that if you were interested in a certain dog that you could make that a condition of adoption, that he/she be tested first.... but I have no idea how BRAT would react to that...
