Mom + 6 Puppies in Colorado Basenji Rescue

Basenji Rescue
  • Unsure if this was already posted, but doesn't look like it. I contacted Peggy Shifflet a couple days ago and they are still looking for homes for some of these puppies.

    They are purebred, and listed on the 'Colorado Basenji Rescue' website if anyone is interested. They will only work will homes that are near their particular area.

    They are red and black; absolutely adorable.

    According to the website they were born Dec. 12 so they are still being held until they are ready for new homes.

  • OMG they are adorable fat little babies! I know there were 2 litters of pups that came to CBR on Christmas. As well as 7 (?) adults. So, even if you're not quite up to puppy fever, please let Peggy (aka Colorado Basenji Rescue) know . And if you're not in the market for a new pup or dog, donations are always appreciated as these dogs did not come with trust funds.

  • Anyone know if/how many of these puppies might be around still? The website listed 6 and shows 1 still available. I also read somewhere (another thread or forum, can't remember) that there may have been 2 litters for a total of ~12 puppies, but the site has only listed 6. Would love to hear from anyone who may have taken the time to visit the puppies or might have more info. We've reached out directly as well and are awaiting further info.

    EDIT: Nevermind, we found that the CO rescue isn't willing to send puppies this far east. We have found a pup elsewhere from a breeder.

    I rescued a young Sheltie/Basenji mix many years ago from a Columbus OH shelter for BEAR-Basenji Education and Rescue. She was trouble for the shelter and was kept in a separate area. She loved to lure course and she also would go after balls and bring them back to you! Looked just like a Basenji but with longer fur and her tail was not tightly curled. Dr. Tracy used to joke that we could trim her and get an ILP number from AKC! She found an excellent home. Jennifer

    Getting the gov. involved won't do anything but hurt the legal folks. Just look at byb who go over the "legal" limit for ownership of animals in their care, or horders, who don't do even legal mandated care… Its going to take education and spay/neuter of any animal who leaves a shelter. It's going to take years...I only hope I see it in my lifetime.

    hi sharon. I feel like I know you. I have read your stuff on Brat. I am glad that you are getting the word out on Brat. Mabel, My B was adopted from there. I cannot say enough good things about people in that organization. Actually I'm in that organization. We are good people. Mabel's foster was very helpful with helping me understand her behavior. I think a lot of it was due to fact Mabel is an alpha female. Well just thought I would say hi bubsgram94
