Help: 2 Dogs Need Home in NV

Basenji Rescue
  • 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.

    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)

    Please consider fostering-it is joy to help a Basenji! I have fostered two in the last few years-one a young Basenji who had pups at a shelter and an elderly female whose owners were going into an assisted care facility and were going to have her euthanized within a few days if not rescued. The elderly girl lived a few more years-just shy of her 17th birthday. She had never lived with other dogs before and she was fine with my pack-but my dogs knew that she was older and wanted to be left alone. She was spunky though and would nip at them if they got out of line! If I was not having health problems, I would foster one! Jennifer

    @Rocky1: Don't worry anyone,Dogs are coming home to me here at Jaroufa Hounds. Richard always knew that he could bring dogs back and his son finally found me. Anubis and Anuket will stay with me until a home is found or I will keep them . Kathryn Are they still available? How old are they? We presently have a 20 month old r/w well behaved basenji that we are thinking about getting a playmate for. Brindle is prefered but will consider another r/w or Tri from as young as a puppy to 2 years old male. Thank you Ruben
