Its not a first come first serve adoption…we do try very hard to match the dogs and family.
Also, we are all non paid, so some folks hear sooner than later from the state screener.
BUT we do need basenji smart homes, so I hope you hear soon.
Thanks for thinking rescue for your next companion animal. -

What you need to do is post to BRAT that you are interested in this basenji.
They will do a home check and go from there.
So, just post to the main BRAT page that your interested in a certain basenji.
I do have to tell you that most screeners like to place a basenji close to home.
Not always,…we are getting a Ca basenji to Or next week..but its totally up to the person placing the dog.
So, just want to let you know...
Let me know what you hear. -

Welcome to the forum (a bit late with my welcomes) - even though you've had basenjis before you'll still find lots of great tips here. I know I did.
Also sorry for the loss of your previous beastie. -

Guys and Gals just wanted everyone to know I am in the process of rescuing a B by the name of Baloo.

We are exited about Baloo he is fetured on the BRAT website rite now.He is a awsome looking brindle.I am greatful to Sharron for directing me to BRAT. Thanx Sharron. Tim and Rebecca Prodan

That's great… please consider doing the DNA Fanconi Test when you get him, BRAT only does the strip testing, not the DNA Fanconi Test

It is a genetic problem in our breed… one that now with DNA testing can be stopped in the future, provided that breeders use the test... However, since this particular B is coming from a puppymill rescuse situation, you can be certain that no testing has been done.
See my new post about cheek swabs being available for DNA Fanconi testing... will be much easier.
Also, anyone with Basenjis should make themselves familiar with our Breeds health concerns. Please visit www.basenjihealth.org
Also visit that site for information on the Fanconi test, CPP sign up, etc…

I was so glad to see this - I had thought about you a few times when I was browsing the BRAT site or Petfinder. (Yes, I am hooked on rescue basenjis, though we don't have room for any more than our two.) Baloo looks like a lovely boy and it's wonderful that you found each other.
Even though you're basenji savvy, I would highly recommend the stickies here on the forum about bringing a new rescue home. Sharron's tips were invaluable to us with our second B, and came in helpful even
months after our first girl found us.Enjoy Baloo, and be sure to post pix and stories!:D

Thanx for the tip. I am shure gonna read everything I can. It has been a while since I had a B and a refresher is a great ideal.The Gals came for a visit this last saturday and all went well just waiting to here from Balouski's foster moma. The gal that visited me is not a Basenji owner she has Borizi's she brought her huge male with her.He was a cool looking dog and was real friendly,she done this service at no charge.I am meeting some good people on top of getting Baloo.Cant wait to here when Baloo is coming home to me and my family!I am buying the chew toys and everything else he needs this week.

Mitt, you've been screened, then? Want a brother for Baloo? If we could figure out transport. Either of these sounds like a bit of a handful at first, but you sound like you're up for a challenge…
