Need to give up my Basenji dog

Member Introductions
  • I have a female Basenji who is a about 2 years old. I work a new schedule and I am never home and my poor dog suffers. I need to find her a new loving home. She loves attention. Can someone help me find a rescue in Maryland.

  • Have you contacted BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport)?

  • Brat is a great option for your dog and yourself. Contact them, and I know you will get all the help you need.

  • BRAT is Great!

    I also encourage you to contact them… I got my first girl through them and they are dedicated to ensuring the best placement of their guys. They interviewed me numerious times, and came to my home to inspect where the potential pet would live. Not only that, but they spent time educating me on the pros and cons of a basenji (yes, had me look at damaged new couches, etc on internet) then taught me how to be the best parent I could be- and were there for me 6 months later when I had questions. Next, they helped me get my girl.... I think she came from over 3 states away. They organized a transport between themselves in order for me not to have to drive a long way to get her - both thinking of her safety and mine.... I cannot express how much I appreciate all of their efforts as a team.... and I can tell you that if you have to give up your girl, thinking of her best interest first, they will make sure she will go to a good home....

    Did she come from a breeder? Most responsible breeders will/should take back their Basenjis?

    This would be your first option.

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.

    Hi Vicki - I love your name. ;) Welcome and I hope to see more of your postings. This is the best site for help, advice, and friendship. I, too, use the squirt bottle and always keep a cup of water on the counter for more drastic intervention. My two will go at it, then clean each other up once they are wet. It is funny.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.
