Lost and Found Basenjis
  • I found this ad in craigslist. It sounds like they don't have the dog in their possession but I'm not sure.

    Saw near Gandy and Himes. Think it's a basenji. Mostly brown with patches of white on chest, lower legs and snout. No collar and very obedient. Looks like picture below.

  • Looks like a b to me.

  • Interesting. I was about to post a thread about a found male basenji, my friend met a young girl who rescued a red male neutered basenji in south Tampa this morning, he had been out all night (at least), thin but very nice and socialized. She said she put up flyers saying it was a Jack Russell and someone crossed out JR and put basenji. So I doubt it was the same dog though the facial markings look familiar, both are thin, the one found today is chipped, but chip is not registered. could be the same dog and he escaped from the previous rescuer! Strange to find 2 red male basenjis lost within a mile of each other.

    I have sent messages to every basenji person I know in this area.

  • I also just responded to this craigslist add as well. It surely must be the same dog, it would be too odd for similar marked dogs to be lost the same day in the same part of Tampa.

  • The lady who posted this ad wasn't able to catch him, so he is still running loose… hopefully someone will be able to rescue him!

  • Good news! This boy was found! :)

  • Oh excellent! I love these 'good news' posts.

    Does anyone know if this dog was reclaimed? If not, could BRAT get her if she is PB. The ad is still on Craigslist! Jennifer

    @sharronhurlbut: Dan, this owner didn't do ANYTHING but give this basenji to a teenage boy. I mean COME ON!!!!!! What teen has time to take a dog to gentle classes? The basenji lived in that house for 9 yrs, biting folks when they pushed him too far. So, this dog got nothing, and when the kid left, the owner gave him away. Why, cause she didn't want to live with him and passed this damaged dog on. Its a shame that the folks she gave this boy to didn't sue her. I wish they would! Sigh. Sorry, I am so darn angry about this. Sorry for the rant. I hate lose/lose I completely understand Sharron. :(

    Thanks, Anne, for updating everyone! I'm so relieved that Rasta is now in the caring hands of BRAT, and I'm very impressed at the speed of these loving volunteers! :) (Both in rescuing Rasta, and in letting Sandra know that she is safe)… I hope Rasta finds a new forever home.

    These are so sad… must be especially heartbreaking for a new adoption too. Hoping for the best for all...
