NAME: Buster
DOG STATE: Pennsylvania
DOB: 11/24/2001
GENDER: Male
COLOR: Red
WEIGHT: 36

When you take Buster outside for a walk, he will be complimented numerous times on his good looks. He walks well on a leash, but if he smells something particularly interesting, he will pull. Buster is an older fellow, so he does not really need long walks, but he does like to spend a lot of time outside in the yard. He is equally content cuddling with you on the couch, playing video games with your older kids or snuggling with you under the covers while you watch tv or a movie. His main goal in life is to be with you and be cuddled, belly scratched (in the superman position), ear scratched and loved.

NAME: Rebel
DOG STATE: Maryland
DOB: 12/20/01
GENDER: Male
COLOR: Red
WEIGHT: 26

Rebel is a beautiful, tall, stately, and loving Basenji boy who is a true alpha and a wonderful addition to the pack in his foster home. He enjoys being with his humans, cuddling up next to them on the couch, sleeping gracefully in sunspots, playing with the other basenjis and cats, and overlooking his pack, making sure all is in order.

Well past those turbulent puppy years, he is house trained (as long as he has access to the backyard when he needs to go) and he is not destructive. You could leave a roll of toilet paper by him and he could care less! He plays well with others, including cats, and loves people. He IS a true treasure.

NAME: Nugget
DOG STATE: Virginia
DOB: Jan 2000
GENDER: Male
COLOR: Tricolor
WEIGHT: 24

Nugget has become quite a good pack-mate. He waits his turn for treats and is not food aggressive. He has learned to share lap time with his foster mom and to snuggle with the pack at bedtime. Rarely does he snark at the others, now that he’s discovered the joy of being part of a pack. There are no fights. He is such a clown and wants to play all the time, including at bedtime, of course. He is without question a wonderful boy.

Nugget is a charmer. Belly rubs are a must for this boy and he’ll gladly roll over to make it clear what he wants. Snuggling is also a must for Nugget; he will not be happy if he cannot sleep in the bed with his person. He just can’t bear the separation.
