    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.

  • Did you email the poster?

  • no, i'm in colorado

  • 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.

  • Good to hear that he has been contacted..lets hope he makes the right decision and contacts BRAT when he is ready.

  • Perhaps the son will decide to keep the dogs. Thanks for contacting them achandl2.

    No matter what size bed you have, the dogs always seem to end up with 3/4 of it!

    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…

    @knf106: He does have papers, from the ACA. I'm not sure who the sire and the dam are on the papers, because Oatie is not with me (I'm in NJ and he's in DC). Thanks, if you happen to talk to anyone that has access to the papers, would be good to know what they say. And it is good that Tonda, who works for an org. that works with these kinds of problem dogs is willing to take him. Hopefully one of the first things they do is a thyroid test and full medical workup…. and hopefully they can rehab him and be able to place him. I would guess it will be a long road, but good that he is going someplace that has worked with these kinds of behavior problems.
