    @hilario23 Well done for coming to what is probably a hard decision, but the right one, both for your family and for the dog.

    Email me privately. Address in signature block websites. But this is not a year to be thinking about Basenji puppies. And lists for next year are being compiled by some breeders.

    Is this the time to get a Basenji or any dog for that matter?

    I would say that if one had planned to get a pup before this all occurred, then perhaps it would be good timing, as it would give one the opportunity of spending more time with the pup in the crucial early days. Of course things will change and the routine will be different, but there are ways to ease into the new schedule so it isn't an abrupt shift from always being there to suddenly being absent.

    You may also want to look at the basenji rescue group out of Indianapolis- they may have some dogs looking for forever homes. Or you can go to www.allofcraigs.com, and put in basenji in the search field to start your own nationwide search. Keep in mind that many people found cute puppies 4 or 5 months ago and without researching the breed, bought the puppy in the window. At this point, these families are exhausted and frustrated and sick of their bathroom trash being scattered endlessly around the home! :) Perhaps they didn't read their contract, or they bought their pup from a back yard breeder or pet store and didn't have a contract. Those pups are looking for a home, and if you have the patience to help these pups, they will love you forever! (P.S. I found my Lola and Sophie on Craig's List, as did my sister with her boy from St Louis. ):)

    Great news everyone my Brother and sister in law just E-mailed me. They were planning to get Benny out and foster… called the shelter early today and Benny has been adopted. He has a family now! I told them about Benny yesterday when I saw the post BDawg put up because they are not to far from that shelter. I'm so happy he was not put down.

    When I did rescue for BRAT - I didn't even charge anthing for expenses. When I"ve done rescue for BCOA or just because a basenji needed a new home - I've only charged anything if there were unique circumstances. I do take a 'deposit' of somewhere between 100 - 200. and place on a 2-3 week trial - if it works I return the money. I sometimes suggest a donation to a rescue organization. If I was doing LOTS of rescue though and had lots of expenses for health and transport - I would have to charge. I just laugh that a 'high volumn breeder' that I see her website - charges 3 times what the rest of us reputable breeders charge for her pets - oh well that's how it goes.
