    A year ago, my family had to make the heartbreaking choice to re-home our basenji, Phoebe. She was about 8 years old at the time, and our family had recently grown to include a very busy toddler and new baby. I knew that we were not giving Phoebe all the attention she needed, and she was starting to act out because of this problem. It was an extremely painful decision for us because we loved Phoebe very much, but ultimately we decided that she deserved a home where someone would pay attention...

    Guess what? I'm adopted. No, it's not my foster mom. It's a nice lady named Heather and her boyfriend, Thomas, that adopted me. My foster mom says that my new mommy has been watching me for a while. After a few medical tests that the lady donated the funds for and a vet review, she really wanted me. My foster mom says that anyone that is willing to go though all that, must really want me. After all, I am a very special dog. And good looking , too. Me, bunny, and my new lion got our baths and...

    What a difference 40F degrees makes. The world is an all-around better place because the snow and ice are gone and the sun is shining. Just about a week ago, we had ice everywhere. Then the 50F (10C) degree weather came along and melted all the snow. Ivan and Dasa are happy. They can go outside without coats and booties. Their mom and dad are happy because we arent exhausted from suiting up as though we were at a staging area getting ready for battle. And it was a battle of sorts, as we...
  • The Road They've Traveled

    Often when so many Basenjis need homes we think of people giving the dogs up because of behavior problems or because they just are not willing to take care of them any more. Of course there are many more reasons for Basenjis to end up in BRAT. Some are strays, some have been abused, some are from puppy mills offered up for auction. But there are many other reasons for Basenjis being put up for adoption from their used-to-be-forever homes. In hard times people lose their homes, end up out of...
