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.

  • 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.

    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.

    Here's what I know: 2 bites to one foster mom. The first was over chicken, trying to take it away from him. The second was over going into the crate. I have not seen any aggression over the crate unless you're forcing him in, he goes in great with a little treat, and now we don't even have to do that. He sleeps in the crate and goes in there when he's not supervised or we're not home. I think she needed stitches for both, but she's older and disabled.
