Basenji Rescue

    Let me share a story that just happened this week with me.
    This gal called me in tears.
    Her dog was in the vet…she had placed it in a "good" home, at least she thought it was...
    Well, the "good" home phoned her and said the dog was in the vet, she could either go get it * and pay the charges* or the humane society would.
    Someway or other this dog was injured by the 3 young children in this home.
    To the tune of having to have staple stitches put into this 3 yr old basenjis body.
    She is now making sure that we are given this dog to get him back to where he should be and then rehome him.
    She way crying when she phoned me...she did care and love this boy for 3 yrs.
    But she didn't do a good job screening the new home.
    Can it happen to anyone, sure, but BRAT does all it can to weight the odds to the dogs happiness.
    That is what WE all want.
    Prayers for those dogs who are not well tended and loved.
    Hugs to all you owners to do!

    @senjisilly said in Basenji in Kern County, California: @tanza Doubt that he is a purebred. Hope the links to his other photos help you figure him out. I had a nice long chat with a woman at the shelter who thought he likely escaped his adoptive home and that the owners might not want him back. So far none of his adoptive homes were Basenji experienced. The tail. Have to agree. Still, could have a nice Basenji attitude. :oncoming_fist::beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    @elbrant - Nothing to verify, they put in the "ad" what the pup received... and also a Vet would not give out that information. Like I said below, I did fill out their requested form but have not received a response. My bet it someone already got scammed...sad to say

    @twiddles: do you know where I can find a basenji to just have as a pet then? I just wanted to breed her to have a puppy, I wanted to keep ALL of here puppies, even if she has like 3 or 6 I love Basenjis and want good for them but I would like to have one of hers, or have one of another dogs…I just like the breed! Twiddles, there are many good breeders on this site and more to be found doing some research. Plan your next Basenji, even if you have to wait a year or longer, and drive many miles to get one. Your wait and effort will be rewarded with a quality dog that you will be happy with and be very proud of. BRAT is also another option to go, so many good dogs are in need of a good loving home.
