    Mini Bio About Bitsy

    Bitsy is 3yrs old and a small girl at 14 pounds. She was turned over to BRAT by the SPCA. She lives with 6 other dogs and gets along with them very well. This is a very happy dog, that by her BRAT profile seems to just love life.

    Bitsy does have Fanconi, great thing for her is that it was caught early and she has had no kidney damage from it and all her blood work is great. She is on the Fanconi protocol, and takes her bicards and supplements with ease. Basenjis with Fanconi can live a long, normal lifespan, if caught early and kept on the Fanconi protocol. The Fanconi protocol looks overwhelming to read but it is easy to administer once you get the hang of it.**

    **Here is Bitsy's BRAT page. http://www.basenjirescue.org/DOGS/PA/PA-Bitsy.asp

    If you are looking for a sweet well rounded basenji that gets along with everyone and thing, please consider adding Bitsy to your family.**

  • I just think Bitsy is the cutest little girl! If Stormie weren't so other dog (especially smaller dogs) aggressive, I'd love to adopt her! I hope she finds her perfect furever home!

  • Bitsy is a great dog. Judy brought her to visit us when we were looking to adopt. She was one of the "test dogs" to see if Deke would get along with two girls. I would have loved to keep her..she was great with my kids and Deke but we were working on getting two "olders" that also really needed homes.

  • Why don't I own a farm with 100 acres :( So I can take all the Bs that need loving homes…this really pulls on my heart strings :(

    She is too adorable for words :) I pray she finds a home soon!!!

  • Very cute..this is wonderful these type of postings.
    I look forward to a happy ending story soon!

  • She is so cute! I've seen her on BRAT for a long time.. I hope she finds a good home soon! I wish I could add another..

  • This type of venue will help new folks see that all dogs aren't "perfect" but we love them anyway.
    I so hope she is rehomed soon.

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    Here's what I know: 2 bites to one foster mom. The first was over chicken, trying to take it away from him. The second was over going into the crate. I have not seen any aggression over the crate unless you're forcing him in, he goes in great with a little treat, and now we don't even have to do that. He sleeps in the crate and goes in there when he's not supervised or we're not home. I think she needed stitches for both, but she's older and disabled.

    @Janneke: Sahel is a gorgeous girl! I hope she finds a good home soon! This is what I don't understand.. The pup is about a year old and the owner wants to get rid of her because: "I'll be traveling and working more this year, so I'm finding a new home for a beautiful and sweet female Basenji" What about thinking before getting a dog :( It is possible that the owner has a new job, something possibly unexpected especially with the sketchy job market in the US presently. In any case it sounds as if the owner cares about her and would like to find a good home.
