Basenji/Mix Rescue Wanted

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • My young son and I would like to offer a home to a young Basenji or Basenji mix. Our rescued Basenji/Jack Russel Mix is 11 years old now, and starting to slow down. I am currently/recently unemployed. If there is a nearby dog in need, we have much love, patience, time, companionship & attention to give, but cannot offer much, monetarily speaking. We live in Sharpsburg, MD. If anyone within 4-6 hours distance knows of a suitable dog in need, please let us know. I am a dedicated, responsible pet owner, who spays/neuters & obtains recommended vaccinations and preventative medications for my pets, as well as dedicated time, exercise and grooming. We live off of the C&O Canal, along the Potomac River, the Appalachian Trail, and National parkland, lots of room to run, explore & play. We have a cat, rabbit, rat, and fish, besides our Daisy. Our Daisy was abused. I rescued her from a shelter at 6 months old, when she would only crawl to the nearest hiding place. She graduated to running to hide behind the toilet, and then, to being bold, but barking & fearing men in uniforms. Now, she defends the pets that she knows we accept, and attempts to repel all others. I have total faith that any other Basenji or mix would also have the aptitude for such intelligence.

  • Have you tried BRAT? www.basenjirescue.org

  • Not yet. This is my very first look into it. We are not urgently looking, but if someone nearby knows of a pup (I still call my old girl, my puppy!) in need, I want to let them know that we are available.

  • I have to place my boy, he is residing in Indiana. I owned his mother, and he was born into my hands. I dearly hate having to find him a new home, but I now live in Korea, and am unable to bring him over like I thought I would. He is staying with my brother and his family right now, and I would like to place him soon. He is 5, neutered last year. Good with children and most other dogs. Write me and I will tell you more about Ansel.

  • BRAT does have some lovely b's and b mixes to rehome.
    They would be happy to help you.

    @buzz-carmenator I have sent everyone who mailed me a list of Breed Clubs in the UK with their secretaries email addresses and also that of the Basenji Rescue co-ordinator. BUT - people who want a puppy are advised to read a great deal up about them, including the fact that, in the Northern Hemisphere, at least 95% of litters are born November / December ish. So puppies are unlikely to be available until late February next year at the earliest. Basenji ladies are once-a-year girls, coming into season September / October ish for the most part. Several of the people I have referred to individual breeders have already visited with them and, if considered suitable, have been put on lists for the next litter. However some people have decided that, on closer inspection, a Basenji is not for them and others have visits pending. Have a good read of all the articles, including the Zande Put-Off on my website (see signature block) and then email me privately.

    Post me privately (after you have read my website (thanks for the plug, Redial !)) and I will sendyou a list of the Breed Club secretaries. There are quite a few litters on the ground this winter bit I imagine most are sold or at least bespoke. You may need to get on a list for next season.

    @DebraDownSouth: Still don't know why Debbi is really Terri, but at least I have the dogs sorted. Long story, but all with good reason :-) Teri is a good person and treats her dogs like kings. She does good by them and those pups deserve good homes… sooner than later we hope!

    Thanks Pat. I hope it will do some good somewhere. After I posted it, I said to myself, "holy crap, I wrote a book"

    Thank you so much for your advice. We just e-mailed a member of the bcosw. :) basenjimamma, Thank you for that :) We had thought of that, as we have researched quite a bit, and are going to definitely make sure that no one is allergic before we take one home.
