I think I have found her forever home, crossed fingers, so will let you all know.
Thanks again for all the wonderful info this group has shared with me.
YOU ALL ROCK!Thats wonderful news Sharron, please let the new owner know about the forum also. Would love to see pictures of this girl.
Different note, do you know how she became deaf? Was it from injury or birth?

I really have no idea what caused her hearing issues.
I was talking to her foster mom about this today.
We have NO idea where she came from re breeder or lines, but she is so pretty the EBC breed club took her under their wing to help spay her and
pay her expenses.
I don't think there is much deafness in basenji lines is there.
Not like white boxer and such, but then, not being a breeder, I don't know.
She had no dew claws and is very show "typy" so right now its just a mystery. -

I am Melody's foster Mommy - she really is a dear. Not so aloof like most of our B's she is very sweet and personable with everyone. Lucky us we hit the jackpot on this girl, even though she's deaf and she does sometimes jump when caught unawares her reaction is not negative at all! Yipee!
Here is a shot of our lovely girl. She came into rescue with some liver problems and was very thin, she's slowly putting on weight though.
I can't figure out how to imbed the image so here goes =)

Maybe someone will recognize her.
