My only kid happens to be four legged.

I find both the excuses and behavior of the "foster" mom appalling. Low spray/neuter programs– use them, then charge that cost for adoption. Free to a good home is .. well anyway. Luckily Emma got into a good home and is loved.

Glad you joined. Read. A lot. Know that many basenjis do not get along with even opposite sex, that your best bet is a male. Pictures here are always oohed and ahhed over, don't disappoint us! :)

Welcome to the forum. I am glad little Cherokee managed to find a good home with you. We would love to see pictures of her!

Welcome, have you tried BRAT for your next Basenji?

[eeeefarm]

Welcome to you and Cherokee. Basenjis are addictive, and I see you have been bitten by the bug. I hope you find the ideal addition to your home, and as stated, opposite sex is probably your best bet. Good luck on finding the perfect fit! :)

Welcome & great story!!!
Basenji's are the best dog & I don't understand why I don't see more people with a Basenji as their dog. Maybe because they are very smart & also not the dog for just anyone. Enjoy the forum.
Cheers…

Glad she found a nice home! I hope she was the only Basenji at that puppy mill.

Welcome! Neat rescue story, Cherokee was lucky to have found you!

Another Forum posting today listed a really nice looking male for $50 in South Carolina, not that far a drive!

One thing you need to do quickly is get a Fanconi test done and begin urine strip testing.

Welcome to the Forum and thank goodness that you rescued Cherokee!

Thinly disguised as a forum-it's really a place where you are accepted, understood and loved. We all share the same "problem" -we're all owned by Basenjis and love it! I have two and a B&W foster. Love Cherokee's name-hope you guys find a sibling soon. BTW-my B's are male & female….
