Basenji wanted

  • P

    :( I was unsure who to contact about my problem so here it goes. My sister and her family adopted a Basenji about 13 years ago and are sick with the loss her passing has brought to them all. They are looking to find a new one as she really loves the breed ( even though she was mixed). I have also recently lost my ShihTzu that was also 13 so I can relate to their sadness. I really want to help her. Where is a good place to adopt another Basenji (mixed or not) in the state of Washington? Thank You

    If they are interested in a rescue then they can start with BRAT, http://www.basenjirescue.com Even if they don't see a dog that is quite what they are looking for they should still apply since many dogs are matched before ever being listed on the website.

    If they are looking for a dog from a responsible breeder then they should start with the BCOA website, http://www.basenji.org They have information on screening breeders and a breeder directory.

    I'm sorry for both your losses. You are very sweet to be seeking a basenji contact for your sister (and maybe one for you too?). If you put in a BRAT application, someone will be in touch, there may be dogs in your area not listed yet on the web site.

    Good luck to you both.

    I know that the Basenji Rescue web site in So Cal is not up to date and they have Basenjis that are not shown and some that are shown available may be adopted. So it's best to contact them and get an application going.

    Also if you contact the breeders in the PNW listed on the BCOA site that LVOSS posted some may have puppies/juveniles/adults available. You can also find contact info for basenji fanciers on the Willamette Valley Basenji Club site http://www.basenji-club.com and Evergreen Basenji Club site http://www.evergreenbasenjiclub.org/
    Send the folks an email or give them a call to check availability! I wish you luck on your journey to find another basenji companion

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    As mine age I try to keep a bit of weight on them because I know they may reach a stage when they just don't keep weight as the organs weaken.

    It sounds like a contact allergy to me. The dog's stomach is touching something it is allergic too. Like Ruth said, grass or weeds that may (or may not) have chemicals on them. The fabric of your couch or type of carpet you have Cleaning products used to clean carpets or floors Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, or laundry detergents used on the dog's bedding or other items the dog is frequently in contact with. Topical flea products used on the dog And the list goes on I do not trust a vet who wants to hand out drugs and medications without attempting to find out the cause of the medical problem. I would recommend going to a holistic vet that will help you get to the root of the problem.

    Thank you all for your comments, went away for a few days on a beach a few hours away from home, and took photos;will have to learn to put them on the forum now. By tomorrow, some of mon petit monstre sera sur le forum. She loved the beach and spent hours playing and looking at the sea. What energy!! I was exhausted but she kept going and then fall asleep suddenly, not wanting to leave the soft sand bed. A real pleasure to have so much space and time to play!
