I'm looking for a forever home for my basenji's . I have two beautiful girls. Both full sisters , 5 and 4. Though I would love to see them go together , I know the odds are low someone wants to take both. I really am going to hold out for someone who has one currently or can prove they did have one. They are a special breed. They are not housebroken….so please remember that . They are completely outside but for night time when they go inside a kennel ( crate) . They are awesome inside the crate. I have never had any issues with children and they are around them all the time. But I do not want them around very young children , just because . I also want a homeowner. So you must own your own home . They will chase a cat , I do not know if they would hurt one but they will chase so I'm not sure this would be a good fit if you have cats. I am in no hurry . There is a long story on why I am looking for a home and I would rather not get into it on craigs. There will be a reasonable adoption fee.

If you want the best home for your b's please list them with BRAT, www.basenjirescue.org.
That group does a great job rehoming b's who need a new place to live.

[sharronhurlbut]

Can I ask you bluntly…why won't you list them with BRAT???

PattyM is in Florida and I think she was just forwarding a post from CraigsList. Looks like the basenjis are somewhere on the west coast. I guess you could try the email on the CL ad.

[sharronhurlbut]

Thank you, I didn't open the ad, I just replyed.
Next time I will check it out further.

[Patty M]

Sorry for the confusion Sharon, I copied the text from the CL listing so people could see what this person wrote… if there's someone from BRAT that can send an email, then maybe we can open the doors for these two girls. I'm not a part of BRAT, just a basenji lover....

[sharronhurlbut]

Patty, thank you for posting this. I am sorry I didn't contact the craigs list person until just this last post.
I hope they will turn the b's over to BRAT. I sent them a note suggesting that.
Hugs for your help with any b in need.

[Patty M]

You are welcome. The reason I keep re-posting these CL ads, especially if there's a picture, is not only to place these dogs into basenji savvy homes, but just in case there's anyone here who's lost a basenji, or a breeder who's sold a basenji, or even if there's a chance that one of these listings is a former BRAT rescue (where someone is ignoring the adoption contracts)… well, if you are a basenji lover, chances are, you are part of this forum, and can help these dogs.

[sharronhurlbut]

Patty, your doing a great service for b's in need. Keep up the good work. I just have to pay more attention to the posts you send. grin.

Thank you Patty. I send them an e-mail re BRAT. Hope they list their b there.

hopefully they will all find homes where they will be indoor dogs

[sharronhurlbut]

BRAT got right on it last night, so they saw the post. I am so darn glad we have this group.
Fingers crossed they can get all 3…it will be heaven for the b's if they are p/u by BRAT.

Shame on those owners..shame!

The BRAT coordinator for OK is already working on this.

Yea!!!!!!! Good. I just saw this post and it made me sad/mad.

Here's a cute black and white basenji in San Diego. I sent an email to them, suggesting that they contact BRAT, or to post on here.

Need to find a good home for our female purebred Basenji. Sadie is 1 1/2 years old, 20 lbs and completely housebroken.
My son and I need to move the end of this month into a small one bedroom apt. that does not allow for pets. We need to rehome Sadie asap. Please contact 858-663-1018 if interested in adopting Sadie.

Also people should be directed back to the pups breeder as they should take responsibility for what they have breed regardless of the reason
