He went to BRAT, and is now in foster care and doing great. Thanks for your concern!

I am in contact with BRAT now, but we are still actively looking for a home for Vader. Of course we don't want to rush things, but having the cats separated from him is a challenge. If anyone wants pics I can email them, my iPad won't let me upload any. And if anyone in the metro Atlanta area wants to meet him we can go to a local dog park.

I emailed you a few times, please email me back.

Thankyou everyone. I will be contacting BRAT ASAP.

Sorry I haven't updated this. I did contact BRAT, but I never heard from them? Vader is still looking for a home. The more we prolong looking for a home, the more we second guess ourselves about it. Until we got home from work today to find one of out cats had a huge bald spot and wound on the back of his neck, and we knew it was Vader. I will have to get on out other computer to upload a pic, but I can email them if anyone want to see him now. And about the 2nd post, no that dog is not mine and I'm not sure why you posted that link.

Vader ( as in Darth Vader) is a 1 and a half year old basenji up for adoption. We rescued him from a byb when he was 7 weeks old. Yes, she sold puppies at 4-5 weeks, and when she couldn't sell Vader, she gave him to one of my coworkers for free. He was passed around the salon (I'm a groomer) for a couple of weeks before I felt sorry for him and took him. We already had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was totally unprepared for having this energetic basenji. After many training classes and lots of love and patience, my husband and I decided to stop lying to ourselves. Vader is not a perfect fit for our family, he has bite inhibition issues and a strong prey drive. He is constantly cornering our cats and now has bit them until the skin broke. He cannot live with other cats but does fine with our 2 large dogs. He also loves going to the lake and swimming ( he has a little life jacket). During the day he isn't crated but we have a baby gate to prevent him from going to the cats room. He is up to date on all shots and preventatives for fleas, ticks, and heart worms. He is neutered. We want him to go to someone prepared for a basenji or has a history of owning basenjis. We'd bee willing to drive him across state or meeting somewhere half way. We just want the perfect home for him to thrive in. We don't want any money. If you can help us find a home or are interested please email me. Thank you.
