Please go to Basenjirescue.org and join as a member. It will show you are serious about helping. BRAT always needs good foster homes. A home visit will be required (not sure if that is possible at this time considering this COVID-19 crisis). It is especially helpful if you have basenji experience. Not always, but very often, a basenji coming into rescue has special needs (i.e., behavioral, medical, etc.). It is good to ask yourself if you and your family are willing to deal with that. Fostering is hard but it can also be a wonderful and rewarding thing to do.
Basenji bought from Mo puppymiller going out of business
-
Do we know WHO went out of business?
-
we are willing to foster and have also emailed Liz Newton back about the South Dakota mill closure. I haven't heard back though. We are also willing to transport
-
I know Liz is very busy and will be getting back to you when she can.
Their is a seperate site for folks who want to talk/help these dogs.

It was/is a PM in N.Dakota.. he has an ad on puppyfind.com 24 Basenjis, 2500.00 for the lot of them
-
So…there are separate purchases N (South? I thought!) Dakota...and then also MO...and then more from IA?
Millers must be having a really hard time selling Bs if they are dumping them this young and fertile! Yay!!
-
Don't Yay - too soon Andrea - if we 'buy' them they are making a sale.
-
Understood…but at least they are selling their breeding stock (young breeding stock)..not puppies to the market. That would make me believe they are finding basenjis unprofitable.
I get that paying for a dog makes a market, but I also see the logic in getting these dogs out of the 'system'.

Sorry, my error, couldn't remember if north or south.. I don't know of any others

Pat your correct, that is the ad that got BRAT involved.
Thanks so for posting this info. -

And in this one case, this person is going out of business and selling all the Basenjis… by taking them "off" the market... at least they are not adding to the PM population... that said, too bad there are still so many around and add to the Back Yard Breeders...

Group email: resqsdbasenjis@yahoogroups.comSharron, thanks for the info. I got on the groups and sent a message as well as replied to Liz'a initial request. We are willing to help any way we can. She must have a ton on her plate. I did she they we dropping one in Columbus, so maybe that is us or GenJMar.
