About Camp Basenji

obedient_Basenjis

Camp Basenji rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes Basenjis in need. We address all aspects of dog wellness—health, psychology, and social suitability.

Before rehoming, we comprehensively assess each Basenji—including DNA testing for Fanconi—to ensure we place our dogs in homes well-suited to address their needs. And throughout each adopted dog’s life, we provide continuing education and support to both dog and owner. Whenever possible, we find solutions that keep Basenji and family together—and back on course to a happy life.

Work that makes us better

Rescuers... do not walk on water. We don't wear tights and capes or leap tall buildings. We aren't better than anyone else, but we do pursue a cause that we believe makes us better than we were before we started. We make mistakes; we feel we can't do enough; we go broke; we have too many dogs at home; we rant out of frustration...What we do is draining, emotionally, financially, and physically. Please forgive us our flaws... we are doing work that's bigger than we are.
