Basenji in need of foster or adoption in new England/ northeast

Basenji Rescue
  • I just got a dog into my rescue in NH. I was told it was a Shepard mix, but it's definitely a Basenji mix. I was also told she was a calm, easy dog- and although is sweet she is definitely high energy! The only way she looks different than a basenji is she has no white on her chest, the face ears, tail, and wrinkles are all there.

    Buttercup really needs a foster or forever home that has Basenji experience. The foster home she is in now is not equipped to keep her due to her energy level. Obviously any home will have to undergo a homevisit and reference check.

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    I think in all fairness, you should include the link to your post that was made after his second behavioral evaluation, http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?8816-Need-Home-for-Basenji The behaviorists did not "fail" to rehabilitate him, they gave a recommendation you were unwilling to live with.

    Awww. Such a cute little girl. I think that we would be a good foster for a dog like her, or one of the FL dogs. We have experience working with pathologically shy dogs. We have an already established relationship with a great local trainer, and with a veterinary behaviorist. We have 3 dogs here to help with the socialization. But we have 3 dogs, and a fourth coming within the year. I'm afraid my heart is bigger than what we can really handle. I'm also afraid because there is no guarantee she will be adopted. If I knew it was short-term, and she could go to another place after a few months of work, I would be much more inclined to jump at the chance to foster. But, with the cats we foster, one has been here a year (tomorrow will be a year actually), and another we finally gave in and adopted after 2 years of swearing we wouldn't. The "normal" cats get adopted quickly (we have had about 10 go through our house, with the longest staying 6 mos.), but the behavior cases that need socialization and desensitization/counter conditioning work tend to stay. We have only had 2 foster dogs, and they were great and found great homes, but we are running out of friends to convince to adopt dogs. :) -Nicole
