Online Cat Adoption Application

The Big City puppy litter has been raised with people and other dogs since they were 3 weeks old, when the abandoned mom could no longer care for them.

Foster Update:  Moscow is a sweet little guy with an adorable baby face!  He has beautiful markings of light to dark brown and white, and striking pale green/blue eyes.  He has the most darling crooked tail, that only adds to his personality!  He's calm and loving with his humans, but has no problem keeping up at playtime.  He waits his turn to be picked up and is never bossy.  He sits and stares at you with those eyes and just melts your heart! Moscow loves our big dog and is trying to get the cats to like him! He is crate trained, paper trained and working on housebreaking.   Moscow is a great little pup and will surely make someone a wonderful companion.  It was a pleasure to foster Moscow and we will miss his cute face!

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the first traces of a dog similar to the Basenji are found in Egyptian tombs and wall drawings of five thousand years ago. Also called the Congo Dog, it was brought to Europe in 1934. English breeders refined it and exported it all over the world. In Africa, it is used as a guide in the forests, to warn against the approach of dangerous animals, and as a very active pack-hunting dog of small game. The Basenji is alert, affectionate, demanding, energetic and curious. It loves to play and makes a good pet, as long as it is handled regularly from an early age. It is very intelligent, responds well to training with a strong desire to please. They can be reserved with strangers. The Basenji is somewhat aloof, but can also form strong bonds with people. It should not be trusted with non-canine pets. They are usually patient, but do best with older considerate children. The Basenji dislike wet weather. They like to chew, so giving them lots of toys of their own would be a good idea. The breed likes to climb and can easily get over chain wire fences. Basenji are very clever at getting their own way, they succeed less by obstinacy than by charm. It has the unique properties of not barking (it makes a low, liquid ululation instead) and of cleaning itself like a cat. It can be described as speedy, frisky, tireless at play and teasing the owner into play. Their strong desire to play can lead to behavior problems if left alone. Most Basenji problems usually involve a mismatch between owner and pet. The owners mistake the adjective "quiet' to mean inactive instead of noiseless; thus, they become harassed by an active, though relatively silent , dog. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
