Help: 2 Dogs Need Home in NV

Basenji Rescue
  • S

    Please take a look at the faces on the photo. These two have been together all their lives and are now homeless due to the sudden death of their people mom in Henderson, Nevada.

    Time is critical. If you know anyone who would foster these until a home is found or know someone who would adopt an incredibly sweet pair of dogs, please let us know immediately and contact Sharron. Due to the housing mess and the high number of foreclosures especially in Nevada, rescues are overloaded. Please help us find a place for these two.

    These dogs are a bonded pair and have been together since around 8 mos. old. Loki is the (male) Basenji and Lily is a (female) mix (I believe some Anatolian Shepard is prominent there) and both are now 6 years old as of February.

    There is a possibility that these dogs will be sent to a shelter. The only shelter that will not kill is the Betty Honn Anithis animal shelter. All the others do. Especially large dogs, they have a hard time placing them. Most people want a small dog or pup.

    These dogs are not BRAT dogs.

    My dogs are secured in crates or the bedroom (Rotties were okay behind a gate, I'd never trust my basenjis with one) if the door is open. Every time, every single time, for my entire adult life. So yeah, dog bolts, the person failed to secure the dog. Unless some person enters if you don't know it, tree falls on house, burglar comes in, police raid your house by mistake etc… if YOU open a door, YOU are responsible, not the dog.

    I agree, BRAT does get in pairs and ask they be adopted together plus BRAT works really hard to ensure placement are suitable and going to good homes. If your looking for a basenji savvy home them I would say "yes, getting the fanconi test will help getting them placed"…anyone not savvy or not caring to know about basenji genetic conditions won't care if theyre tested or not)

    I feel like people need to be just as careful when choosing a rescue as they are when choosing a breeder. Rescues have been found to be hoarders, to be breeders labelling their dogs as rescues as a marketing ploy, or like PETA, to kill 97% of animals they "rescue". The impression I got of this rescue was that it was not one I wanted to work with because they seemed to hold some extreme views. I am delighted to hear that I was wrong and that this is a good rescue. The situation with the "breeder" is horrible, and I am glad this girl is finally being cared for. I agree that the breeder has earned herself a place in you know where. After Estelle passed away while my MIL was in the process of trying to adopt her she is a little gun shy. It is amazing how attached you can get to an animal you haven't even met. -Nicole
