Red Whine
 Red
Whine is becoming a handsome petite mahogany colored Basenji! In March he
found the world he knew (one he'd like to forget) turned upside down.
Everything was very frightening for him as he went from Missouri to New
Jersey in only a week. During that week he became a changed man!
In the few weeks Red Whine has been in foster care, he has
gained weight and his coat shows improvement. His foster family assumed that
he was not house-trained. At first there were a few accidents near the door
and now he is getting the hang of it. Red Whine can hold it overnight.
Red Whine was a frightened, submissive Basenji. Slowly he
is showing more confidence with people. He is learning to play with the girl
Basenjis in his foster home. Red Whine has a marvelous baritone baroo, which
he will use to let you know it is his turn out of the crate. When the other
Basenjis join in, he leads a chorus! At other times he can sound like a
softly meowing cat!
 Red
Whine is looking for that special family that will give him a forever home.
He would do well with a calm older child or a family with no children living
at home. Red Whine did not get along with his Basenji cousins (male and
female) that were sold at the same auction. It will be very important that
he meet any dog that will be in his future home. Prospective owners
must be willing to come to NJ to meet Red Whine and his foster family.
If you feel you could provide Red Whine with the time
and patience to enjoy being a Basenji, please read the data sheet below carefully, complete
the BRAT
adoption form (if you have not previously done so)
and contact BRAT fostermom/coordinator,
Barbara and Dennis Narehood. 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 he is perfect for your family, a
typical day in your household, and, if applicable, how you plan to
transport him. |
