Fostering :)

Basenji Rescue
  • Anubis's MommyA

    I am willing to foster a Basenji if anyone in Oklahoma or nearby has one needing a foster. Ive contacted BRAT several times to foster but never heard back. I have 1 Basenji currently, a yard and a great vet. Also have an older mixed breed mutt who just kinda hangs around and chills lol. Email me direct if anyone needs a foster. I can only foster one at a time. ou.girl.liz09@gmail.com

    I think it is great that you are willing to foster.

    I would just caution that bringing another dog into the house while you are trying to deal with Anubis' aggression issues may not be wise.

    It would be best to focus your energies on dealing with Anubis, and consider fostering once you have his aggression under control.

    Hey Nicole, good idea. Once his issues are dealt with I'd be more than happy to bring in a foster :) Ive got new ideas im putting to use and so far today everything's gone smoothly. No snarky Anubis today lol

    Please go to Basenjirescue.org and join as a member. It will show you are serious about helping. BRAT always needs good foster homes. A home visit will be required (not sure if that is possible at this time considering this COVID-19 crisis). It is especially helpful if you have basenji experience. Not always, but very often, a basenji coming into rescue has special needs (i.e., behavioral, medical, etc.). It is good to ask yourself if you and your family are willing to deal with that. Fostering is hard but it can also be a wonderful and rewarding thing to do.

    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..
