2 Basenji Ladies looking for a new home


  • I removed my comments until I can verify something.


  • @pittybasenjis:

    Debra,

    The breeder asked that I not contact BRAT as they would only contact her and ask her to take them*-(??

    If you have contacted the breeder and she declines taking them back, BRAT will not decline the dogs.

    When you submit the rehome form, just simply leave her contact information out if she would prefer you not give it out. You can list her name, but you can also leave a note that says something " breeder already contacted, declining return"

    We will still contact her to ask her if she wants to take them back, but all she has to do is say no, and case closed.

    I am a district coordinator for BRAT and I can assure you, we have dogs in rescue that breeders wont take back.

    Dont let these dogs suffer just because some backyard breeder doesnt want to take responsibility where they should.

    Thanks-


  • Were these b's tested for Fanconi? Just wondering why the breeder will not take them back. I do agree that they should go to BRAT, who will best be equipped to find great homes for them.


  • I changed a few things in my above post if you would like to re-read.

    thanks


  • I am looking for a female Basenji as a companion to my red and white male. Have you placed your two females yet?


  • Please be careful about rehoming intact b's. They can fall into bad places.

    Did you ever find a home for the girls? Please let me know. Thanks. Debbie


  • Please do let BRAT know if the breeder chooses NOT to take the girls back.
    There are more and more breeders that are BCOA members that need to take action and take their dogs back. I am hoping that they aren't BCOA members and just in a bad place and time for taking back dogs.
    I hope things are looking up for these girls.


  • Debbie.. I just found these two girls on Craig's List, so I don't think they've been placed yet (unless this is the new owner that's now re-homing them). The ads are separate for each dog, but they read the same. I've emailed asking for info; will let you know what she says…

    This is HONEY. She's a really good baby and still plays like a puppy. She loves to sit with her humans but we just don't have the time to devote to her as we just work too much. Honey has never been Bred- she can be if you like though as she's not spayed- but she's completely up to date with all her shots and is chipped. These are considered exotics because they're Egyptian dogs, very unique and very loving. We're asking for a mere $200.00 re-homing fee. Please call Mike at 904-982-9984 or email me. We'll naturally want to talk with you to make sure you'll be a good fit good her. :-)

    This is ISIS. She is an absolute sweetheart of a Basenji but we just work way too much and can't give her the love, time and interaction that she really needs. We hate to see her go but we LOVE her enough that we want her to be in an element where her Humans can interact with and enjoy her as much as she enjoys them. We paid over $1000.00 for our Basenjis but are only asking for a $200.00 rehoming fee IF we feel that after we interview with you, that you will be a good fit for our baby. Please call Mike at 904-982-9984 or just email me.

    Oh please please please… I hope Mike is willing to surrender these dogs to BRAT (though it sounds like he wants the "mere" $200 each because it means something to him). The way these ads are written, they're just asking to be exploited, especially Honey.

    Good eye, Patty. Thanks for the update.


  • Oh, Man! This is not the ad to read to start the morning..sigh.


  • I wonder if the little girl holding the dogs knows what is happening….


  • Big long "sighhhh". :(

    These dogs need to get into the BRAT system. Is anyone available to go and personally speak to who has the dogs now?

    @helle-devi Thank you for responding. I have already been in touch with the basenji sisters. I was not aware before I contacted them that they are located in CA. I think the distance between us is too great. If things didn’t work out between my basenji and one of their girls, the distance would be a problem. I did become a member on the Facebook site that you recommended. Thank you so much! I was unaware that such a site existed. Jo Ann

    @Basenjimamma: Great update, Thanks to you and all involved, this girl has a future.. Ditto-Ditto. Great ending to an otherwise sad start for the little girl. Good thing most dogs adjust to life so readily-good self preservation tactic!

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
