My Nonprofit Reviews

Over 40 years I have had 9 Basenjis, 7 of which have been rescues. One of my rescues was an abused male with numerous medical issues. He did not trust humans and was a biter. I foster him for 11 months and if I could afford to pay for his medical treatments BRaT would send me a 501c3 letter. If
I couldn't afford it, BRaT would pay for the treatment. After 11 months and much patience I adopted him. Another of my rescues was an emergency rescue of a three legged female named Dolly. unknown at the time, she came to me with mange. Not only did BRaT pay for her care but also for my other dogs that came down with mange. It is an all volunteer organization who are dedicated to the rescue of unwanted, abused, or dogs rescued from puppy mills. I love this unique breed and the BRaT organization for all that they do for the breed. I donate to them whenever I can.

Over the years, I have adopted 4 Basenjis from this organization. My first was from a group of over 100 removed from a home in Kansas City. She was extremely shy and it took her almost two years to come around but she turned out to be very sweet and loving. I was contact a year later about a woman who was having problems with a male Basenji. It bit her husband and was growling at her 3 year old twins. When I first met the dog he tried to bite me. I told her I would give him a try. He is now my best friend. When my K.C. girl had to be put down due to mouth cancer I adopted Heather. Her was another shy girl who is now very loveable. My latest is Daisy. She is the smallest of the three but thinks she is the queen of the house. I donate to BRAT whenever I have a little extra money. They are a great organization.
