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)

    This group and BRAT are great…everyone wants to do what they can to help these old dogs who fall on hard times. These type of b's just break my heart. Glad to hear this old dear will fall into soft hands.

    I hope so too. He's used to being able to roam throughout the house and now he will be kennelled. So, hopefully, a new home will be found for him shortly.

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.

    He sounds like a very sociable youngster who would like having a basenji pal. I can't imagine having just 1, most really seem happier having a buddy. And while it may not be all roses for the first few weeks, after 3 or 4 months they will probably be inseparable. Good luck! Anne in Tampa

    @Jennifer: Thank you! I am in Fairfield about halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento. I dont have any pics of her…sorry :( I would contact BRAT and some of the local shelters, as I said many are No Kill Shelters….. Good luck
