Summary

For anyone considering opening their heart and home to a Basenji, The Secondhand Basenji Handbook is the guide to adopting and living with a "rescued" Basenji. Packed with information and photographs, this handbook is one of the most important resources you'll need to help you decide if a rescued Basenji is right for you! Rescuers across the USA have recommended The Secondhand Basenji Handbook to people interested in adopting Basenjis. Even "firsthand" Basenjis and the people who love them will benefit from the information in this handbook!About the For most of the time they ve owned and loved Basenjis, Patrick and Maria Cotter have been working in and supporting Basenji rescue. Drawing from their experience in rescuing and rehoming Basenjis in need, and supported by others involved in the breed and rescue, the authors have put together a comprehensive book that is a must read for anyone interested in adopting a rescued Basenji. We developed The Secondhand Basenji Handbook because we discovered early on in our rescue efforts that folks who wanted to adopt didn t always have access to the information they needed about rescue and rescued dogs, says co-author Maria Cotter. And since Basenjis can sometimes be a challenging breed to own, we felt compelled to provide potential adopters with both the positive and negative aspects of life with Basenjis. With this handbook, anyone interested in adopting a Basenji can have nearly everything they need to know right at their fingertips. If they decide the breed is right for them, they can move forward with an adoption fully educated and prepared. As well as being co-author of the text, Maria Cotter has photographed the Basenjis whose pictures appear throughout the handbook. I wanted folks to be able to see Basenjis as they really are, she says. I didn t want a lot of pretty show photos. In fact, I made a conscious effort to use photos that I believe depict the breed best. You ll see dogs at play, at rest, and even getting into trouble! The authors reside in Michigan with their new daughter Ellie and three Basenjis - Kaya (Ch. Dedela Kaya M Ntanami Cotter), Buddy (Ch. Windigo s Sunfire of Kazanya), and Chumba (Windigo s Mr. Happy Go Lucky).
