My First Foster

Basenji Rescue
  • JarodkjvJ

    Yesterday I got my first BRAT foster, Duke, who is super sweet. He is fitting in great and Piper is absolutely in love with him, poor Duke never gets a minute of peace because Piper is always trying to instigate play. She just runs up and smacks him in the face with her paw and runs away trying to get him to chase her, but Duke does not seem to mind and appears to be having a good time with her. He is still not completely comfortable here and will probably still take a little while before he really relaxes and settles in, but we have not had any real problems or major disagreements yet so, so far so good.

    Duke is a great looking dog! Love the pics of him and Piper :) Lycia is exactly the same with smacking Tillo in the face and then running away.. gg.. always fun to watch.

    Duke will make someone a wonderful companion and handsome too. The two of them look great together.

    Duke looks a great Basenji, glad he's settling with you and hope he finds a forever home soon.

    Thank you so much for opening your home up to Duke.
    I will look forward to stories on how he is settling in.

    I have asked the BRAT coordinator to find another foster for Benji. This is just not a good situation for him. Lenny has decided he can not be here. I'm sad about this as I really want to help Benji, but not at the risk of someone, or a dog, getting hurt. It's not a good situation for anyone, especially Benji. I'm sure it's traumatic enough for him without having to be constantly onguard from the resident dog :(

    Exactly what I think/feel. As the owmer and mother to the dog we are bound to keep a better eye on them than nobody…right? It is almost like a slap in our face when they say they have to keep them, but oh, yeah, no nobody stays with the animal overnight...are you kidding me? I would push the issue as best I could to see if either they can guarantee supervision in their clinic overnight, or she is coming home with me..
