I had to re-home my darling red/white Basenji named Isis, a 1.5 year old spayed girl, in July of this year. My living circumstances were economically altered and I could no longer give her the care she needed and deserved. I kept in touch with the gentleman who adopted her but recently found out that he re-homed again without letting me know. He can't or won't provide me with any information regarding the adoption. Astounding to me, as now I am quite distraught.

I have all of the vet records for her and wanted to get in touch with the new family to provide information and support. I am not interested (or rather can't anyway) reclaim her, so I don't want said family to worry about that type of situation. I just want to keep in touch but not interfere.

I only want to keep in touch and would be most grateful for any response that may be out there for her.

I appreciate you taking time to read this and hope that you can lend a hand. I would be in your debt.

I drove 20 or so minutes each way to my friend's horse far. Not one day did we miss seeing one or more dead dogs on the roads.

Too many dogs in shelters picked up from being lost; or hit by cars.

While my Rottweilers and first basenji were solid off leash, they only place they got to do it was at my friend's farm. And they weren't just turned out, I was out with them.

In the old days, almost all dogs ran loose. The norm... and if they died or were lost... well, get another one. Many died. I quit talking to people about it. They say "they want to be loose" and I say "so do toddlers and 3 to 5 yr olds... I still don't open the front door and send them on the world. " They get mad, I get mad, nothing accomplished.

We all take risks and avoid others. Unleashed is one of my "no" areas. And rawhide.

Absolutely dogs raised in a village in Africa are not the same as here. I think most dogs don't get enough exercise and mind stimulation. When you do that with an intelligent breed like basenjis, you're going to get unwanted behaviors.

You may want to read up on Dr Jo Thompson's work, as she also lived in Africa with these dogs. What wonderful experiences those of you who go to see where they came from.

I have a general question. Does anybody elses Basenji not like to be picked up. Ours sometimes loves it, and sometimes not. Also
sometimes she runs up to dogs as quiet as can be and plays, and than other times she makes a squeeling noise, and people
are afraid she is picking a fight with their dog. But I think shes just talking. She squeels at our new Whippet puppy, and loves to
play with her and is as gentle as can be, considering the Whippet puppy is really rough on my poor Basenji baby girl. does anyone
know what the squeeling means. The baroo I get she does that all the time. The squeeling is confusing.

old thread but posting up 🙂
we take ours camping and she loves it of course 🙂
biggest hassle is the whining and crying and hating the ride to the camp areas !

we use a cable over a leash but have a leash for walks and have her in a harness all but at night when she sleeps

we tent camp so we picked her up a fuzzy jacket to wear at night and we run a small tent heater also so she stays nice and warm lots of fleece blankets to cuddle up in
she is sleeping in a soft crate ? and we keep thinking boy she is going to chew through that some night and want to join us ! hahaha
reason we dont let her sleep with us camping is she has a thing for down and feathers and we all have down bags ! so we joke about waking up to a tent full of feathers if she did sleep with us !
we have watched her sit and pull feathers out of some feather pillows we have !

during the day we have a dog bed that folds and she seems to prefer sleeping in the dirt over the bed but with the needles this last trip she preferred the bed 🙂
she also does love laying in the hammocks with us when we take a nap !

you can see the red dog crate tucked in the left side near our inside tent so she is right next to us when sleeping and inside the main tent
which of course we think why she is OK with it since she is so close to us 🙂

laying on the rocks at the lake 🙂

we do some groups camping with a homeschool group also where she is a hit with all the kids 🙂
and she loves loves loves the attention and is the most gentle girl with all of them 🙂

@felakuti:

our felakuti goes barooooooo when he is very very happy. 🙂 we decided to get that little female basenji at Debbie's Petland, the one with the 5 toes..We have named her Queen Nyahbinghi after a warrior queen of the 19th century in Uganda…her call name is Nyah. 🙂 so now we have two lovedoveys. 🙂

Good luck with your pup….. hopefully you got her for a reasonable price... I would be interested to know if AKC papers came with her... and what the breeding is, if available.... also would hope that with the time she spent in the Pet Store, this will show them that a Basenji is not a good business decision.....
