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.

    Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.

    Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.

    @Patty: Hi everyone, just to close this mystery- the ladies involved disappeared, so to speak- they don't answer phone calls or emails, and while we were supposed to meet on Saturday, neither one answered their phones to coordinate anything. I found the exact picture that they used on Craig's list on puppyfinder.com. Some things that seem too good to be true are. Creepy! Good thing you had your wits about you and that you're safe.

    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
