Two basenjis in GA need help; their human passed away.

    Hi everyone, it's been a while and I hope this post finds everyone doing great!! I recently got an email from Niles' and Lulu's new owner and wanted to share the great news!
    They now live in peace and harmony with their new basenji sister, who is the same age as them. They have a 3 mile walk to the mailbox and back everyday (I think they live in the mountains in one of the Carolinas), and when they aren't walking, they are relaxing and enjoying life.
    Lulu went to the vet and it turns out that she had a pretty bad thyroid disorder. They are getting that under control quickly and she is gaining energy and losing weight.
    All in all, the dogs are in a great home with a wonderful man who understands the breed. I couldn't have asked for a better situation for them!
    Thank you to all of you for your help and guidance through this sad situation. A sad situation with a very happy ending!

    Sincerely,

    Again, hope that you have contacted BRAT to take them for placement….. It would be great if you have had them tested for Fanconi with the DNA test.. that would help in getting them placed faster...

    My dogs are secured in crates or the bedroom (Rotties were okay behind a gate, I'd never trust my basenjis with one) if the door is open. Every time, every single time, for my entire adult life. So yeah, dog bolts, the person failed to secure the dog. Unless some person enters if you don't know it, tree falls on house, burglar comes in, police raid your house by mistake etc… if YOU open a door, YOU are responsible, not the dog.

    Folks, If you are unsure whether a particular thread content violates forum guidelines just email admin@basenjiforums.com and we will take it from there. To protect our forum members and ourselves we encourage rescue organizations and individuals to please send us a private message to admin@basenjiforums.com before posting ANY donation solicitations, fundraiser ideas or any Basenji Forums community related commercial activity involving money collection. Fundraising introduces unnecessary complexity and liability for Basenji Forums Staff, so we are very strict and sensitive about this subject regardless how long a particular member has been on the forum. Too many people get scammed into donating for various non existing causes and money gets stolen from honest good meaning folks on the internet all the time. When that happens operators of internet resources that host the donation solicitation inadvertently become part of the legal proceedings by people who are upset about their money being stolen for facilitating the theft. We have no desire or disposable funds to participate in that. We provide this resource free of charge to Basenji owners community. In return we ask our members to respect our rules and guidelines. Thank you, Regards, BF Staff

    @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

    That's what I was guessing, Jannie, but I didn't remember your name, just Gracie and Roxie's. Must be all those years of being known as "Gena's (or one of the other kids') Mom" and knowing other mothers the same way. :p I'll let you know as soon as I talk to Laura today what's up. Thanks again, Alex. I know we've had issued with bots and trolls, so I understand not recommending posting email addresses.
