In 11 days (not that we're counting) we are adopting a 10 month old red and white male named Leo:D We are crossing our fingers that Nexa and him get along, this weekend we are introducing them. He is at Americas Basenji Rescue. Leo's mom was brought pregnant to a humane society about an hour south of Indianapolis and then came to the rescue. All his littermates have been adopted. Leo's first forever home didn't work out, the older children in the house weren't very nice to him and he "corrected them", they said he was very good with their 3 year old. He seems to be great with other dogs. I'll post pictures as soon as we get some. :D :D :D

I would be happy to send you off site the info we sent out with BRAT's new basenjis.
It might help you bond with your new dog…
If you wash, you can post to me privately, and I will send it to you.
Its useful..but long. -

I couldn't get very good pictures with my cell phone, but here are a few pictures of Leo. Aside from a little snarking (from Nexa), the meeting was good. By the end they were ready to get rowdy and go play.

Congratulations! I'm so happy that Leo found a loving home. I have a father/daughter pair of rescues that got along great at the shelter, got along great at my house for a couple of months, and then had a few weeks of working out what the proper behavior/ranking/etc. was between the two of them in their new home with me. But everthing is just great–and it looks like your two are off to a great start.

It got really cold and windy here, so we're trying out the new coats! I think Leo looks all tough in his. He outweighs Nexa by about 10 lbs, he's about 32 lbs.
