Older basenji, desperate situation needs home

Basenji Rescue
  • Posted with permission from Jack Austin:

    Ben is an almost 13 y/o R & W basenji in the Atlanta area needing immediate foster or foster to adopt. He is a good looking Boy who could easily pass for 5 or 6 Y/o. Ben is very people friendly. He currently lives with a Bichon, cats are unknown. He is not destructive indoors or out, but insist that he go out and potty on a leash. He has never, until now had a fenced yard so his owner has always taken him out to potty. He will not potty in the fenced yard unless he is leashed. He does not know what a crate is. He sleeps in the bed with his owner. He and his owner have been moved to the Atlanta area from California so that his owner can undergo radiation and chemo therapy. They are with his owners daughter and she insist that she can no longer take proper care of him. Ben's owner has been doing his best to care for him but is weak and can't move around well. He has fallen on two occasions while walking Ben.

    Is there anyone who is looking for an older R/W boy?? Transportation within a reasonable distance will possibly managed by a BUR.

    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

    June, Gypsy has been mentioned in the Breed notes in one of the UK dog papers, so hopefully you may get a response thorugh that. I don't recall how she came to be in Rescue. There can't be many Basenjis in Cyprus. Have you been able to discover her breeding?
