Tucker
 This
seven-year-old, red and white boy is a healthy, sweet, loving guy who really
likes to be with his people. He is very laid back and easy going with almost
everyone he meets, humane and K-9. After a short introduction period he can
be touched all over. Almost. Tucker is fine with other dogs that will
not be pushy with him and would prefer to live with a female, unless the
male is not a basenji and is easy going and reasonably calm. He doesn't seem
to care one way or the other about cats.
Tucker is fine in a chain link fenced yard. He does not
seem to want to climb or dig out but he will bolt out a door or gate given
the chance. He does love to go for walks and pulls on the leash, but only a
little. He can be crated but stresses a good bit especially when left alone.
Because of this he can not be flown. He stays in the house confined to two
bedrooms during the day while his humans are at work and is just fine; he
has not destroyed anything. Like any self-respecting basenji Tucker will
inspect the contents of the trash and, given the chance, will make
snow out of a box of tissue.
Tucker rides in the car like most basenjis. He is very
accepting of small children that he knows, but is fearful of those he does
not know. He will not be placed in a home with children under eight.
 The home Tucker would like would have a secure fenced-in
backyard or owners that would enjoy taking him for long walks and an
easygoing socialized dog as a companion.
If you think you could provide Tucker 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,
Jack Austin.
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 Tucker. There is an
adoption fee of $225.00 for Tucker. This fee is used for all costs
associated with the care and feeding of Tucker 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. |
