Penny

Basenji Labrador Retriever

Female, 7 yrs 3 mos
Boulder, CO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

James

Basenji

Female, Adult
Longmont, CO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
James has been with us since 2016, so we do not take this decision lightly. She has had an increase in behavioral issues related to potty-training since we had a baby last summer. James has always had anxiety issues; she was a street dog in Thailand and brought over to Denver from a rescue that is no longer around. She shakes during car rides and hides from strangers, but she loves her humans. We call her a house cat because she acts more like a cat than a dog - she likes to be at home, snuggling on the couch. She has a big sister dog and cat who she gets along with great. We are rehoming due to the increase in frequency of accidents inside, and our inability to focus more energy and resources in training with a new baby.

Story
Katsu is 8 years old. I've had him since he was 1 years old. I acquired him through a friend who wanted to rehome Katsu. I want Katsu to go to a great home who is able to take him on walks and love him. He's been such a great companion to me, so that is why I believe he'd have a much better life in a home who can care for him. I am recently married and we have a child on the way. We haven't had the time that Katsu deserves. Katsu is a very loving dog, but is very independent. He's a super smart dog, so be careful because he does like to get out. On the rare chance he does get out, he always finds his way back home. He's very good with people and kids, but can be mean to some dogs. It's hit and miss when it comes to other dogs. I haven't socialized him much with other dogs though. Anyone who takes him with definitely love him. It took a lot of thought and discussion to give up such a great dog, but I know there's a better home for him out there.
