Story
We are SO PROUD of Noah! Noah is doing fantastic at his foster's home and is walking good on the leash and is spending more and more time inside without staring at the door! He will hang in his crate and watch for cues about what is to come (like outdoor play time). While Noah has made a ton of progress with his foster, Noah needs a family who knows how to be patient and wait for Noah to be comfortable around a new family. Your bonus for loving him is he does not shed much at all! Basenji's are very low shedding dogs! He is finally acting like the rest of us thinks he should as a family dog and we really want him to find his own family.  Noah would do well living with another dog in a home who is playful and confident.  Because we are foster based, an approved application is required before a meet and greet can be scheduled. We feel that is fair to our fosters so every meet and greet has the potential to be an adoption! We work with many rescues and strive to find every rescue in our care a great home. Sometimes that means transferring that pet to another location where adoption may be more likely.  If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application.  It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com  as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.   Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption.  &#226&#128&#139Adoption fees are negotiable but our goal is to break even on a pet's medical expenses, although we know that will be the exception and not the case most of the time. Average adoption fees in the area range from $175 up to $450.  &#226&#128&#139As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more.   &#226&#128&#139Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside.  &#226&#128&#139If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating.
