Buster
 Buster
is a sweet, young basenji boy that enjoys life. His goal is to spend as much
time as possible with his humans and when you sit on the couch, Buster will
be right there with you. He also loves cuddling under the covers in bed.
Typical of a young basenji, Buster will counter surf,
likes to play with his toys and chews, laying in the sun and following
sunbeams throughout the day, and enjoys looking out the window. Buster was
trained to use a doggie door and had only one accident during the first week
at his foster home. He may exhibit a touch of separation anxiety in the
beginning because of his high uncertainty factor being in a new home, but he
will settle into a routine quickly.
 He
enjoys playing with the resident basenjis in his foster home and would enjoy
an easy going girl to live with. Buster has demonstrated alpha tendencies,
so he would do best with a well socialized, agreeable dog friend. He has
lived with a cat, but the cat found Buster to be annoying because he wanted
to play and the cat didn’t.
The home Buster is looking for is one that has humans that
will give him plenty of attention and walks; an agreeable, playful female;
children eight years or older; and if you own a cat, she/he would need to be
basenji/dog savvy.

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. |
