A friend of ours talked to the woman with the 7 month old female today. The original owner was older, got her from a shelter (as a Jack Russell) and she was just too much energy. The current 'foster' took her to help the original owner, but she has several other dogs, the basenji has already escaped once. She has chickens, etc., and her husband wants her re-homed soon. I saw a (poor quality) photo and she looks pure basenji but has one drop-tipped ear and barks occasionally, she is intact still. No one I know is up for a youngster like this, but we are asking around. If anyone out there is interested,I'll help with transport.
LA-Lafayette-Free Basenji Mix Puppy To Good Home-On Craigslist
-
There is no picture and no mention of sex or age but it does have its rabies shot which is usually done at 3 or 4 months! I am only posting this because this puppy may wind up as a breeding dog or a bait dog. There is also a tropical storm approaching the Gulf Coast! I do not know why owners do not contact rescues as many will take a puppy.
If anyone can help or know of a rescue that can help, please contact the owner!
