Yay! Karen is here. We got Jengo from Karen. If we didn’t already have Logan I’d be on my way to see you and Jax. I know you’ll find him the right home. 👍

We are interested. We live in Yuma AZ. Tell us about the dog please. We are retired, have fully fenced front and back yard. We travel frequently in our 38’ RV. Owned a BRAT tri for 9 years. I have volunteered for BRAT. Our Maggie traveled everywhere with us. Dean Sigler, Michael Robinson, Liz Newton can vouches for us. We have a 2 year old MinPin (of questionable parentage.) Teddy is a sweet boy who needs a partner in crime. We can be reached at [private contact info]

I forgot to mention I was an Animal Health Technician for 20 years. Our current boy sleeps with us and is only left alone at home for 30 - 60 minutes once or twice a month due to hot weather (can’t leave home in car.) 99% of the time the dogs will be with us. I am also a State of CA Superior Court certified animal behavior expert. I was the Animal Control Supervisor for the City of Chico CA for 11 years and was required to evaluate the behavior of dogs Who had bitten people and make recommendations to the courts on what should be done about the dogs.

Hi Karen, many years ago I got Emma from u! Wonder girl, she passed 3 years ago at 19! Still
Miss her! I also got Rickie from you in or about 2005 , he was 1 and 1/2 ...and a pistol...his original name was peanut. He is going to be 13 next month and a wonderful guy!! Just had his teeth cleaned and he has grown up to be a bright guy! Everyone who sees him admired him! Thank
You!! -
Agree that Medfly has been in the past a great place for finding a rescue... they have spent many years assisting placements with pups from some not so responsible breeders.... Will totally miss them... and what they have done for Basenji placements. This looks like a lovely pup.... and I know for sure that Medfly will find his perfect home. Hugs Karen for all that you have done over the years...

Update: We're tapping the pause button on Jax' adoption until things settle down. The COVID-19 surge here in Southern California has gotten way too scary and close. Several neighbors have become infected as have scores of friends/family of friends. It would be irresponsible for us to entertain guests while cases are soaring. We will continue to work with Jax' confidence and manners during this pause. Once this current surge eases, we will update and invite new inquiries. Till then we are going to become hermits.

Hi, we would love to have Jax be part of our family. We have been looking to adopt a Basenji, and I found the MedFly website for Rescue Basenjis, later to find out from this forum that the rescue is now retiring. Now, I see there is this last hoorah for Jax, and we want nothing more than to give him a loving home that he deserves. I will be honest, I have owned dogs in the past, who lived out long lives. But if we get the chance to adopt Jax, he would be out first Basenji. I did read that you were looking for an experienced Basenji owner to take him (which I am not) but I have done my research on the breed and feel my family and I can provide the same amount of love, patience, and warm open home to Jax as any other experienced Basenji owner. I have 2 kids at home , about to be 4 and 7 years old. They are both gentle with animals, we have 1 parakeet and I teach the kids manners with all animals before they are allowed to touch them. They are young but old enough to understand that they will get hurt if they don’t treat animals properly. Our parakeet scares easily, but he is not scared of my kids. Please let us know if we can help Jax be at home with us. We have a home, good yard, and a community park walking distance. We live in the Murrieta/Temecula area, and we agree to driving up to see Jax and meet him before he decides to be pet of our family.
