Cosmo & Delta

Cosmo (blue collar) and Delta (red collar) are wonderful, sweet basenjis that would like to be loved family pets.

Delta, who has a beautiful yodel, is an active girl that is very attentive and aware of the world around her whereas Cosmo (who will also serenade you) would just as soon find someone to cuddle up to on the couch. Both Basenjis love people, are housetrained and not house destructive and sit nicely for treats. These two are very smart and are quick learners especially if a yummy treat is involved!

These dogs are considered healthy by their doctor; however, Delta was diagnosed with dry eye which is treated with Tacrolimus drops, an inexpensive eye drop that is placed into her eyes once a day. Cosmo was diagnosed with sinus cardiac arrhythmia. Sinus cardiac arrhythmia means that Cosmo's heartbeat may be too fast or too slow but his doctor considers what he has as a normal variant and nothing to be concerned about (no medication is needed or anticipated).

Cosmo and Delta are good travelers and the home that they are looking for would be as only dogs, or perhaps with a larger, easy-going temperament dog (they do not want to live with animals their size or smaller), older respectful dog-savvy children, and owners that would enjoy taking them for walks through the neighborhood. A fenced yard and doggie door would be an added plus, they love the outdoors.

Transport anywhere along the I-77 corridor from SC to Ohio might be possible (weather permitting), as well as I-95 into the Mid-Atlantic.

If you think you could provide Cosmo & Delta 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, Patricia Dukes. 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 Cosmo & Delta.

There is an adoption fee of $425.00 for Cosmo & Delta. This fee is used for all costs associated with the care and feeding of Cosmo & Delta and future basenjis in rescue. BRAT adopters receive a dog that has been spayed or neutered ($100.00-$250.00, depending on location), fully vaccinated, tested for heartworm, and strip-tested for Fanconi (negative unless otherwise noted), and temperament evaluated. In addition, BRAT provides free lifetime post-adoption counseling to help deal with behavioral issues. Finally, we provide a free lifetime identification tag connected to our "lost dog" toll free number.
