    Hi everybody! My name is Kristen and I'm currently in central Florida. I have a nice menagerie around here, with my husband, basenji boy and three chinchillas.

    My basenji, Independent (Indie for short), just turned 6 yrs old and has been a part of our family for 2 years now. He was a rescue from a local shelter, and the reason that I became involved in Basenji Rescue and Transport. Working with some wonderful mentors, I am now a Purebred Placement Coordinator with BRAT and loving every minute of it! There's nothing like the feeling one gets when you make an actual difference for a dog needing aid.

    My chinchillas are Snickers (f), Chubby (m) and Chili (f), and all three are rescues as well. Indie gets along perfectly with them; he and Snickers spend lengths of time nosing each other through the chin cage's bars. :)

    I'll go post a picture or three in the picture bragging thread…and can't wait to see everyone else's pics as well!

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
