Story

Meet Nala, a sweet and snuggly dog looking for her forever home. Nala is a purebred basenji which is a rare and typically very costly breed. She is hypoallergenic. She loves to cuddle under blankets and enjoys being close to her humans. Nala is house trained and has some basic training but could benefit from additional guidance. She enjoys playing with other dogs and is generally affectionate and playful. However, she may growl or nip if she is grabbed suddenly after being alone for a while. Since getting Nala, we’ve had two kids, and while she gets along with them, we no longer have time to give her the attention she needs. Nala would thrive in a calm and patient household with an experienced dog owner who can give her attention and snuggles. If you think you can provide a loving home for Nala, please contact me!

Story

Born May 5, 11 pounds end of June, nice puppy who does bark. We do not know the mix. Here is general information that describes this girl well: The Basenji is alert, affectionate, energetic and curious. It loves to play and makes a good pet, as long as it is handled regularly from an early age. It is very intelligent and responds well to training with a strong desire to please. It can be reserved with strangers, so socialize well . The Basenji is somewhat reserved, but can still form strong bonds with humans. It should not be trusted with non-canine pets . It does best with children who understand how to display leadership toward the dog. It likes to chew , so giving it lots of toys of its own would be a good idea. The breed likes to climb and can easily get over chain wire fences. It can be described as speedy, frisky and tireless at play. Most Basenji problems usually involve a mismatch between owner and pet. Basenjis need daily exercise to release mental and physical energy . Basenjis are very clever at getting their own way; they succeed less by obstinacy than by charm, and therefore need an owner who displays natural authority . one who makes rules and sticks to them. Calm, but firm, confident and consistent, Basenjis who have meek or passive owners, or owners who are not consistent with the rules will become demanding. The dog will assume the role of pack leader and behavior problems will arise, especially when left alone . An owner who understands canine behaviors and treats the dog accordingly will find them to be wonderful pets. Fee $300. Apply at morganspot.org. July 15, 2024, 8:52 am
