Tabby and Floyd

Floyd and Tabby have now been in their foster home for a couple of months now and their personalities are emerging.

Floyd (pictured at right) is the larger of the two, weighing in at 26 lbs, and the more mischievous! He will help you get "organized" by making sure your shoes are picked up and put away where they belong. He will help you get your laundry done or risk snatching some article of clothing away to under the bed for a chew session. He will also crawl up next to you on the couch and stretch out for a good rub down.

This guy likes attention. He will raise a paw and tap you on the leg or arm to let you know that he sure could use a scratch and a pet. He has a lot of energy during the mid point of the day, so a place to run around outside is optimum. He is smart. He knows how to distract you so he can get to the item he wants or how to get a treat in exchange for a stolen item!

Tabby is a darling. She is a delicate thing at 15 lbs, and has the sweetest disposition. She would like nothing better than to lay in your lap or at your side and absorb your warmth and love. She is very submissive to her brother unless she is guarding a chew bone! Otherwise, they share everything; including their humans. Tabby is known to lay right on top of Floyd to get as close as possible to your body. He never seems to mind!

They both love their walks and have developed a routine here that is comfortable for all involved. They are happy to snooze during the day while you are at work or otherwise and will greet you with barooo's and wagging tails. They are current on all shots and have been to the vet for full check ups. They are both very healthy. This pair is ready to be the center of your world!

Recommend a home with older children, 13 and up or basenji savvy.

Since they are a bonded pair, they are looking for a home that will take them both. If you think you could provide Tabby and Floyd 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, Roberta Kosek. 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.

There is an adoption fee for this dog. This fee goes to cover all costs associated with the care of current and future basenjis in rescue. BRAT adopters receive a dog that has been spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, temperament evaluated, and tested negative for heartworm and Fanconi (unless otherwise noted). In addition, BRAT provides free lifetime post-adoption counseling to help deal with behavioral issues and also provides a free lifetime identification tag connected to our "lost dog" toll free number.
