Sometimes, through no fault of their own, wonderful basenjis need to find new
forever homes. Occasionally we will have a dog available that has lived with us
for a period of time as a foster, where we have time to get to know the quirks of
the dog and even work with them to teach them some manners that will help
them thrive in their new home. Please feel free to contact us if you might be
interested in adopting a foster dog listed here. We also have a wonderful network
of breeders with retired show dogs and rescue groups to help you find that
perfect family member, so please email if you are in search of something
specific. If you have a basenji that you are in need of placing in rescue, please
contact us and we'd be happy to help.

Meet Diamond ~ AVAILABLE!
Diamond is an almost 6 year old
purebred, spayed basenji girl with a
happy, wagging tail that is looking for her
forever home. She LOVES all people but
would do best as the only pet in your
home, and would love someone to be
home with her all day. Diamond loves to
chew her rawhide bones and be loved
and pet. She will nudge your hand with
her head or paw if she feels you aren't
giving her enough attention, and is
guaranteed to make you laugh and smile
every day as she tosses her toys and
bones in the air. Diamond is crate trained
and rides well in the car in her crate and
will greet you with a big baroo when you
come home. Walking on a leash is
another story, but she's working on it!
While Diamond has befriended a few of
our basenjis, she tends to be a doggy
bully and it would take a very basenji
experienced home to continue working
with this girl if another dog were in the
home. Her new owner will need to
understand this sweet girl is not so
sweet to strange dogs! Ideally we would
like to find her a local home in the OR or
WA area where we can offer continued
training support to her new family.

Rescue Basenjis & Fosters Available for Adoption
Foster Dog Adoption Guidelines:
 | You will be asked to fill out a detailed application asking | |
| about your home, other pets, household members, etc. |
| You can expect a home visit by an adoption coordinator to | |
| get a feel if the dog you are interested in is a good fit. |
| Adoption fees vary from dog to dog, but typically run in the | |
| $200 - $400 range to cover medical care and expenses. |
| A contract is standard nowadays, stating that if you cannot | |
| keep the dog for any reason whatsoever, it returns to the person you adopted it from. Don't ever be embarrassed to return a dog if it doesn't work out for you. We are always looking out for the best interest of the dog and just want them to be safe and never end up in a shelter. |
| Remember, adult dogs make wonderful companions! Most | |
| are already housetrained and have basic obedience skills. |
Meet Deuce ~
Deuce came to us as a
foster boy looking for his
new forever home after
having already had a few
homes in his young life.
Who knew that we were
meant to be that home?
Deuce now has a PAL
number with AKC and has
participated in Lure
Coursing events.
While this brindle boy is
full of boundless energy
(I swear he's part reindeer
the way he leaps and
bounds!) his sweet,
innocent personality
definitely won us over and
he's here to stay..
