Basenji on Craigs List - Portland OR

Basenji Rescue
  • Be nice if they could get him into a place like Best Friends in Utah.

  • The CL post didn't say anything about BRAT having already been involved or enough of the history. It's a little more clear now. I agree, one month doesn't seem long enough to rehab him. I hope he has a future…but it's not looking good.

    For the record, I wasn't passing judgment on BRAT. I was just confused by the apparent lack of interest because of how the CL post was worded.

  • Okay, I have one of those Basenjis that was living in a backyard for almost a year with no socialization - she is also from the horrible breeder in AR. Ivoss made reference to the fact my B's parents were F carriers. In one year, a visit to ER and 15 stitches in my leg, and days when I thought she was a demon, Bailey has become a lovely dog. I couldn't ask for a sweeter Basenji. It takes time.

    Anyone heading this way from California? I would take the Basenji in a moment.

    A dog like the one on Craigslist can be helped, but the B can't be shuffled around from home to home.

  • Vicki,
    If you want this dog email me right away at bennyburnerbono at aol dot com.

    Vicki,

    I hope you get him. You are one of those amazing, special people.

  • Vicki have you got this baby yet??????

  • Rita, he isn't here. The boy lives on the West Coast - I would give it my all if he can be transported this far.

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    I forwarded the information to the breeders that are members of Willamette Valley Basenji Club and Evergreen Basenji Club along with Sharron, BRAT representative. I emailed the poster on the 13th and have not gotten a response. Hopefully he will end up in a good place.

    Oh, I don't. I can only "have" 2 dogs, but I sure work like heavens to get the dogs matched from the rescue group to the home. Win/win. worth more than gold to find the right place that cares for the dogs forever.
