Story
This is a Courtesy Listing and has no affiliation with Petrescue. Please contact the owner listed below directly. Toby is a 6-year-old neutered Basenji who is up to date on all vaccinations and looking for a special home that understands his needs and will give him the love and stability he deserves. He is completely house-trained and spends much of his day happily curled up in his cozy bed, catching up on naps. While he enjoys relaxing indoors, he also needs an active home where he can get regular exercise. He loves running around the backyard on a long lead, playing fetch, and during the winter, you'll find him leaping into the air to catch snowballs—his absolute favorite game! Toby cannot be off-leash and should always be in a securely managed environment. He is also afraid of water and does not enjoy baths. Around the people he knows and trusts, Toby is a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug. He loves curling up in laps, giving kisses, and spending quality time with his family. Having a safe space of his own is very important to him. His crate, complete with a soft bed, serves as his cozy retreat where he feels secure and comfortable. Toby warms up to new people fairly quickly when introductions are calm and positive, especially if they come bearing some of his favorite treats! Cheese, peanut butter, bananas, and just about any kind of meat are sure ways to win him over. He also enjoys chewing on bully sticks and stuffed Kongs. Because of his behavioral needs, Toby requires an experienced and understanding home. He has fear-based aggression, food aggression, and guarding behaviors that will need continued management and respect for his boundaries. He would do best as the only pet in the home, as he is not compatible with other dogs or cats. Toby does well with respectful children ages 8 and older. His ideal home is one that is patient, calm, active, and committed to helping him feel safe and secure. In return, he will reward his trusted people with loyalty, affection, cuddles, and plenty of personality. More than anything, we want to find Toby a loving, cage-free home where he can continue to thrive and enjoy the happy life he deserves.

Story
This beautiful pup is DOUGIE and he's such a good boy! He's a Basenji mix who is 1 year & half - 2years old & fully grown at 46 pounds! He has beautiful golden coloring and one brown eye and one blue eye which makes him even more special. He's a super sweet boy and was a Volunteer favorite at the Shelter we rescued him from. They took him on lots of field trips and he absolutely loved them! We've sprung Dougie from a Shelter and he's living with a great Foster family now who have other dogs so it's like doggie camp for him! He's a lover boy and wonderful with everyone he meets and other dogs too. He's also a smart cookie....we have lots of videos with him showing how he sits so politely waiting for his treats! He'll be a great family dog and a great companion to adopters who like to go hiking or bring their pup on errands with them. And, if there's a pup-cup included he's all in! We're looking for a wonderful family who have a fenced yard so he can play and take lots snoozes in the sun. He'd do great with doggie siblings but could easily be a solo pup because he loves to hang our with his peeps. He's healthy, up to date on all his vaccinations and so ready to be part of a family! Reach out to Long Road Home Rescue (lrhrescue@gmail.com) to get lots more info, pics and videos of this great guy!

Story
Meet Donny, the charming Basenji/Shepherd mix who embodies the essence of a gentle soul. At 16 years young, Donny has a heart full of love and a spirit that enjoys the simple pleasures of life. Previously living with older kids and teens, he’s mellow and adores human company. Though he’s okay with other dogs on leash, he shines best as the sole furry companion in a quiet home. Donny is crate trained, knows basic commands, and relishes leisurely strolls. His favorite pastimes include lovely car rides and snuggling with his beloved stuffed alligator. After a tough start, he’s in search of a forever family where he can truly relax and enjoy his golden years. Ready to offer Donny the peace he deserves? Adopt him today!Although he may be older, he has recent bloodwork showing good health, and even had a recent dental cleaning!
