Max
Errr excuse me...sorry to interrupt...my name is Max and I
am looking for a forever home. Why - you ask - should you consider me for
your new Basenji pal?
Well
I don't counter-surf, chew couch cushions, shoes or any of the many other
things that typical Basenji's love to eat. I am a pretty wonderful guy -
about 5 years old and handsome, if I do say so myself. (The picture does not
really do me justice, but it is pretty close to how good I look).
I am quiet and polite; I would never jump on your friends
or steal any food from anyone's plate. I will follow you everywhere and am a
faithful and loyal companion. I never bother my foster sister about her
food, I just nibble and sometimes play musical food bowl with my new fosters
siblings. I love to be hugged and petted and won't snark at you for making
me move over.
At my foster home I get to play with their Grandson
everyday, he is only 2 1/2, but his Grandpa has trained him to be gentle
with us dog types, so I think I would get along well with a child in the
house or one that just visits often. Oh yeah did I mention that I don't mind
having a cat in the house, although I don't understand why anyone would want
them, I just ignore the cat and he finally moves along.
I don't like to be put in a crate, but I am not
destructive when my foster parents leave me alone in the house. I guess you
could try to bribe me to go in the crate; I just don't like it much.
I love to sleep with my Foster Parents, but I never hog
the covers, and if they need to roll over I just move out of the way and
settle back in when they are done. I like to ride in the car, walk in the
evening and would get along well with a girl Basenji (should you already
have one and just need a companion for her).
All in all I think I would be a great Basenji for someone
who is looking for a loyal and loving friend.
Note: Max's foster mom has nicknamed him "Max-a-million"
because he's a one-in-a-million Basenji exhibiting none of the usual
mischievous traits of his breed.
If you think you could provide Max with love, activity, and evening
cuddle-time, please read the data sheet below carefully, complete
the BRAT
adoption form (if you have not previously done so)
and contact BRAT coordinator,
William Key. The coordinator's link will take you to a form that will
ask you your name, e-mail address, the city and state you live in, why this dog is perfect for your family, a
typical day in your household, and, if applicable, how you plan to
transport the dog. |
