There was just a break in in a home about 45 minutes away from where I live and they stole 2 five week old whippet puppies..horrible. Why would anybody do that..so far they have not been found and this was a few days ago. Thye also took some video games and such, so they think the burglars were kids….

The Ridgeback was found safe, not far from the hotel she went missing from. Other then some scrapes and bruises, she appears to be okay. Denise Como Wolfwind Gazehounds ~ wolfwindbz@frontier net.net For Book Titles ~ www.SighthoundsAfie ld.com

Also please feel free to crosspost on other basenji or k9 lists. Contact us for additional details, phone numbers, etc., if appropriate. Thanks very much!

I sure hope they find their beautiful brindle girl..so sad.

oh this thread just breaks my heart! I hope you are reunited with Dot…..

Houndmom, I'm sure that if someone is looking for her, they already notified the HS and other shelters in the area or will soon. I wish I could take her if her family doesn't find or want her back. It just hasn't been the same without Dot in our life. Keep those IGs safe! I'm glad you found the forum. From Alicia in Ohio

Yes,thanks for the follow-up. I am glad she has a nice new home. Who could resist a lovely basenji, after all?

Sorry to hear your friends Basenji is still missing

I don't know, the picture is so bad that I can't tell. I also remembered someone in southern NC was looking for a lost b-mix, but wasn't sure if it was on this forum or somewhere else. It's still a cute dog.

I need to echo everyone else here who has suggested making sure your dogs' microchips are still where you put them and working! Every year (and sometimes more often) I have the vet scan both of my boys to make sure this chip is still in the same place, active and displaying the correct ID #. I carry a dog tag on my keys that has their microchip numbers and the phone # to the company so I can immediately call and report them lost.

Hurrah for getting this girl one step closer to her 'forever home.' Such a sweet face….

I am so sorry to hear about Mo. My thoughts are with you…((Hugs))

My 2 b's chew your boots for treats… Really you have the wrong site.

Did Destro get home? I used the LostMyDoggie.com to place lost pet alert phone calls to 250 of my neighbors. I have not had any luck in finding my Dot yet (she climbed our fence on August 17), but I received several phone calls from people in my area asking about the basenji breed. It offered me some comfort and I knew that there were a lot of people looking for her. I will keep looking for Dot. I have gotten more search ideas from this forum tonight to help me. Please don't give up on Destro. They must be with some good person just out of our reach, so we have to keep looking a little farther away every day.

I'm just glad I had a place to send her where she'd be okay. Without a rescue available, I would have had to either pass on her entirely at the shelter or make Lady miserable with a 60-pound dog waiting to eat her every time she stepped out of the crate. Everyone who can, please help out your local rescue, or at least just send them a thank-you email! I went to Karen's ranch, and they are quite full at the moment. Even so, they take great care of the dogs they have and work with quite a few sad and angry basenjis (and mixes!) to give them happier lives. I'll definitely be back to take one of them into my home for good.

Any word on this B being spotted or found?

That's a wonderful follow up, but we do need pics.

good to hear that he is being taken cared of, Scout is a sweet name..

That is great have a super day have lots and lots of fun. Rita Jean

I mourn for you. I hope you find closure. The loss of a companion can sometimes be worse than anything. Hope you find peace in your days of mourning. Tyler, Kate, and Dawn
