Hi all. All the puppies have gone to their new homes. The last one to leave was the red male, King. He went Thursday to leve in CA. All are now making new slaves. Everyone has good things to say about them. As we have said the litter was smart and loving. We will miss them, but they all needed to be in their own homes. The day King left, and we got all of our livingroom back my guys found their spots and slept the rest of the afternoon away. They didn't miss the pups at all! They even helped pack they bags.

BRAT question
-
Ohhh,,,,yes,,,,,,,email to see if they got it,,,,,,,on the B's we have applied for they usually sent an email letting us know that they recieved our request within a day or two of us submitting the adoption form,,,,,,,,,,good luck,,,,,and BTW I looked at Lizzie online and she is beautiful!!!!

I tried for a couple of BRATs earlier this year. After a week and a half or so, I'd get an email that said they got my email. But that was it. I applied for dogs in different states - and they really want local applicants, especially when you have another dog in your home already. They want to make sure the two will mesh… I always thought it took longer than it should. I suppose if it's meant to be, it will work out. But I sought out other arenas-- I used Petfinder and this forum (thanks to BasenjiBoy) to locate my rescue Miles in a shelter in Pennsylvania. You can always check out breeders who might have non-puppies who are available. What are you looking for? Girl? Boy? Young? Old? Color? In any case, I feel your pain! GOOOOOOD LUCK, there's one lucky dog just waiting for your family to come along and adopt!!

Here are some available on Petfinder:
Tigger, Adult female
Buddy, adult male (no kids)
Fonzarelli, B-Mix in NY

34 - BEAUTIFUL brindle male in Ohio… SOMEONE NEEDS TO GRAB THIS FELLA!!
-
-
He is TOTALLY handsome!! I hope if he's lost, he finds his family… and if not, someone with a big heart should save him!! This totally reminds me of Miles's story!!
-
Thanks for all the ideas I actually did contact the shelter about Tigger.. I'm about 35 minutes from them but they said they only adopt in their community. What I'm looking for is a female, i think that would be best for our boy. I'm also ok with just about any age I figured if I could help a slightly older girl that would be good. I do have kids girls 6 and 10..but they know Bs and respect them. Deke doesn't put up with too much. He doesn't like many other kids just his, well I mean mine. HA HA I figure it will happen when its ment to. We are kind of busy until the end of October so maybe it's for the best. Thanks again..I love this forum..everyone is great!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yes, he is BEAUTIFUL!! I talked to a BRAT person today (via email) to make sure they knew about him. They asked if we would go visit him. Of course we said yes but we live three hours away–so if you know anyone in the Canton Ohio area who may be able to check him out they should get in contact with a BRAT volunteer. Otherwise it looks like a road trip for us pretty soon!!!
-
Just got another email and they have found someone close to evaluate this beautiful boy,,,,,,,,,,,,so if you are interested in him I would keep an eye out on the BRAT website

Hi Senji,
Some coordinators respond more promptly than others. It can depend too on how many applicants there are for a particular basenji. With an older dog there usually are not too many but when a coordinator has several dogs posted at the same time, or even just two or three, it can be time consuming to keep up with the correspondance.
Please write to me privately if you are still left hanging and I will follow up to see what the status is regarding your app and Lizzie's placement.

Yeah! I love adoption stories! Also, keep us posted on the Brindle #34…
-
Thanks Liz
I resent the app thought it might have gotten lost out there in cyber space somewhere. -
I help with BRAT and we really do try to be prompt with contacting new aps.
Sometimes we are out of town, but I try to at least drop a note saying I will be in touch with them when I am back in town.
Fingers crossed, you will hear from someone soon.
Do let us know how it goes.
When you get your basenji, send photos! -
no clue what happened…I checked BRAT tonight and Lizzie was no longer listed. I guess it just wasn't ment to be. I'll keep looking our next B must be out there somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ohhhhh,,,,,,,,,sorry to hear that senji,,,,,,,,,I know that has to be very disappointing. Hopefully, you will find the perfect dog soon. There have been some new additions to the BRAT website,,,,,have you checked them out???
-
I'm a little crazy…I check it at least once a day. I saw a cute one on petfinder yesterday. He's in NJ it says to contact BRAT but I haven't seen him there. It says he's a mix but from the picture he looks a lot like a B.
-
Yes,,,,,,,I usually look daily too!!!!!! One of the coordinators told me that they often have more dogs than what is on the website. Have you looked at Missy– she is a new one.
-
Not sure who got this beautiful guy… but he is now listed as Adopted!
-
I saw Mark yesterday. I'd love to have him he seemed laid back enough to get along with mine but I'm in PA and TX is awefully far away. Same with Missy. I was hoping something closer would come up.
-
yes,,,,,,,,I understand,,,,,,,,,we applied for two different dogs (our third) and one is in MO and the other is in TN,,,,,,,,,we are hoping if we get one that we can get some help on the transporting,,,,,,,,,has anyone ever had BRAT help transport , by car, a dog?
