    My father in law has cared for these dogs for years now and has suddenly developed sevier Alzheimers. We are seeking a caring family atmosphere to house these animals for the remainder of their life. They are about 10 years old give or take a few years. I will get more information once things settle out. The doctors told us that he would not be able to go back home based on his condition and just wants someone that will love and care for the dogs.

    Sorry, I didn't mean reply to adopt her, I meant to find out that there were 2 basenjis (i didn't see a number given) or to ask if they know who the breeder is, etc.

    I'm in Knoxville and volunteer for BRAT so I emailed the owner a link to contact BRAT if he/she is interested in getting help re-homing this pair. I'll let you know if I get a response.

    I wanted to let you know that i did hear back from the person who posted the Craigslist ad. He sent back a really nice reply that said he was still making some tough decisions in regards to his father and that if he decided he needed any more help he would let me know. He at least has all the info to contact BRAT and my email if he has any more follow up questions.

    You did all you could do for now and thank you. I do so hope he gets back to you nothing mean here but if alzheimers is really bad the dogs are not safe with him anymore. Thank you again for tyring to help.

    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.

    The pictures are too big to upload but we did make a page that shows her pictures and tells a little more about her… http://www.newfierescue.org/fannie.htm I love our vet office :-) they are very good at what they do. They built a new building and made sure to build big runs for our large dogs that they handle. Thank you for the donations so far. I really appreciate the help with her. If you know of anyone wanting a basenji let us know ;-) Fannie is destructive but Zareefa is not…

    He sounds like a very sociable youngster who would like having a basenji pal. I can't imagine having just 1, most really seem happier having a buddy. And while it may not be all roses for the first few weeks, after 3 or 4 months they will probably be inseparable. Good luck! Anne in Tampa

    I posted a new thread re 2 of these b's who are having issues in their foster home and need help. I will share it with you all. 2- 3 yr old b's need fosters/homes, from pm bust –------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a pair of the b's who were taken from the puppymill that closed. We really need a smart basenji home to foster and or adopt. Sharron I imagine they will be open to be moved to any near by states. Wilma (brindle) and Wanda (red and white), both three years old and from the SD group, are currently being fostered in central LA. They are very afraid of men and not doing well in their current foster home. If anyone in the southern states, TN or AR would be willing and able to foster them both together, please notify me. I would like to place them in a foster-to-adopt home if available. If you do not live in the area listed but can help with transportation to your location I will consider moving them out of the area. If you are traveling through LA and would not mind a couple furry passengers, let me know. They ride well in crates.
