I'm Looking for Experienced Home for Rescue

    Sacramento California
    I started fostering Bosco in November. He is four years old, Tri color, and handsome.
    Bosco loves to go on walks. He is very curious and friendly on walks.
    Bosco sleeps nicely with me in the bed.
    Once he gets to know you, he is very snuggly and will happily sit in a chair with you for hours.
    Bosco knows his name and knows how to sit, come, stay, and down.
    Bosco yodels when he is happy and when he comes in from a walk.
    Bosco plays nicely with our 4-year-old basenji female. They happily wrestle, tug toys, and run the basenji 500 around the house.
    Bosco has had all of his vaccinations.
    He has atopic dermatitis, he is on cytopoint and apoquel which has reduced his discomfort. He eats a unique protein food to reduce any possible allergens.
    Bosco is on Prozac and takes Trazadone and Gabapentin before he goes to the vet.
    Bosco has fear aggression. He will whimper if approached while lying down. If the human or dog waits until Bosco agrees to be touched, he will let you pet his sides, back and head. However, Bosco will bite if the human or dog does not let him overcome his fear.
    Although he wants a playmate, my house is not the best furever home because I have three other basenjis, one of whom he does not get along with at all.
    Because he has a bite history, BRAT cannot sponsor him on their website.
    Please help me find a good home for Bosco!

    Do you mind sharing your general location? UK, USA, or ____? Area, region, or state?
    Do you want/need any kind of a rehoming fee?
    What about possible transportation?
    And/or things you are looking or hoping for for Bosco's new home and humans?

    The more information, the easier it will be for people to determine if it's realistic for them to inquire about Bosco. Else wise, you may find yourself weeding through inquiries all over the globe. (Most of us our softies and would jump at another B.) A pic would be great, as well.

    @elbrant I live in Sacramento California. I can transport him to 7-8 hours from here, he does really well in the car with us. I think an basenji underground railroad transport would be too stressful for him.
    No rehoming fee, BRAT paid for most of his vetting already. A good family can have his supply of meds, toys, and calming devices.
    The perfect home would be:

    • one very playful but not dominant dog
    • people who like to walk, very patient, and understand how to deal with fear aggression,
    • no small children, or prey companion animals
    • fenced in yard,

    @tanza yes, but Lovebird of the Congo, sadly, only had one litter and then succumbed to a car racing on country lanes so we never knew if she would come in in Autumn next time around. I always figure to get a rest through end of March to May/June from entering litters born during our winter into the d/b before the Australians start whelping and registering their 'winter' litters, born in our summer - sorry electrician working and he turned the power off at the mains . . . where was I ? OK, back on again. Some revert, some don't. Again, its the rich tapestry of Life With Basenjis !

    @tanza said in I'm looking for a reputable breeder in Norcal Or just in the US in general: @morsesa - Please is this not a post done over and over? It's okay @tanza, you may not realize that you repeat the same post over and over as well. Certain situations seem to call for the same, or very similar, responses.

    @cathyroy I am not sure what Natasha is doing, if busy or whatever with the holidays. You may be what she wants, but she's got company or otherwise tied up. She did say maybe set up a trial, so give it a few days before getting upset. However, I will make a few observations about the fit. you have small children you say are good with animals, but you don't have one, so how do you know how they will be with one actually living with you? your interest in a basenji is based on their lack of significant shedding. This is not the breed for a family with young children who have little or no experience with dogs. Your husband presumably works, so the dog will mostly be with you and your children. you are wanting to ADD a dog to your family. She isn't looking to give the dog away. Just as you would be careful of who you have babysit your children, she hopefully wants a suitable fit for her dog. For me, that would be someone experienced in the breed or at least a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and is interested in fostering, not taking, my dog. It isn't an easy decision either for her or for someone agreeing to keep her dog.

    Hi, I talked to my daughter last night and she really does not want me to find him another home, even though he's making her sick, (she's allergic to him). She threatened to leave home if I did. She's 18 so she could. I guess we will try and keep him. The good news is I did find a place that will pick up and drop off dogs, take them for long walks in the woods, and let them play with other dogs for the day. All for just $17.00 a day. So at least he's not in a crate for 9 hours any more and he seems to really enjoy it. He runs to the person right away and is excited to go and comes back very happy and tired.
