Basenji Rescue
  • Let me share a story that just happened this week with me.
    This gal called me in tears.
    Her dog was in the vet…she had placed it in a "good" home, at least she thought it was...
    Well, the "good" home phoned her and said the dog was in the vet, she could either go get it * and pay the charges* or the humane society would.
    Someway or other this dog was injured by the 3 young children in this home.
    To the tune of having to have staple stitches put into this 3 yr old basenjis body.
    She is now making sure that we are given this dog to get him back to where he should be and then rehome him.
    She way crying when she phoned me...she did care and love this boy for 3 yrs.
    But she didn't do a good job screening the new home.
    Can it happen to anyone, sure, but BRAT does all it can to weight the odds to the dogs happiness.
    That is what WE all want.
    Prayers for those dogs who are not well tended and loved.
    Hugs to all you owners to do!

    @senjisilly said in Basenji in Kern County, California: @tanza Doubt that he is a purebred. Hope the links to his other photos help you figure him out. I had a nice long chat with a woman at the shelter who thought he likely escaped his adoptive home and that the owners might not want him back. So far none of his adoptive homes were Basenji experienced. The tail. Have to agree. Still, could have a nice Basenji attitude. :oncoming_fist::beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    @elbrant - Nothing to verify, they put in the "ad" what the pup received... and also a Vet would not give out that information. Like I said below, I did fill out their requested form but have not received a response. My bet it someone already got scammed...sad to say

    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.
