2 Basenji boys in Spokane, WA shelter

Basenji Rescue
  • I am really hoping that they find good basenji savvy homes. Snoopie is so emaciated. It is hard to tell how thin Panzer might be from his photo.

  • We have committed to adding a 2nd B (male) from a local breeder as a companion for our 11yo B girl after losing her brother to liver failure in October. He'll be joining us in March and is a lovely 3yo brindle who our girl has met and only mildly "swore" at : ) I know I shouldn't be looking at the Petfinder site anymore & taking ourselves off the BRAT adoption list, but if a heads up like this helps some B's find a great home, then that makes my day.

  • Poor babies, Snoopie is way under weight…..... I hope they find a home soon... and that would be great if they could stay together...

  • I also was worried about the dogs weight, so called the shelter again, and told them about fanconi and strip testing. They did say they have a very on staff and they would pass on the info to the vet.
    I think they will…

    Re posting these dogs to this site...THANK you, I don't have time to look at petfinder and this type of heads up can help me try to help dogs in need.
    I did post to all the folks who have BRAT ap's in Wa and Id to tell them about these 2 so fingers crossed they go to a good home, OR they go to a home that will call me.

  • Being that thin, I would also pass on info on EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

  • Darn it Lisa, I didn't think of that! I did call them 2 times this afternoon, they were kind enough to listen to me and write down what I had to say.
    I will call them tomorrow…"guess I will be their new best friend"...
    They might have prefered to give me these 2 rather than having to deal with me
    on the phone!

  • The peskier you are, the less likely they are to be euthanized. It shows that someone is looking out for the Basenji. I say be a pest.

  • Oh, Ms AJ, I always try to be a help to the shelters…and I do call them..often several times a day...laugh, can't help it.
    I WANT them to make sure these b's go to the BEST home possible.
    Thank heavens they realize I do care about the dogs, and am not trying to tell them
    their jobs.

  • Got a note from the shelter that they have been placed. Wow, that was fast.

  • Great news, lets hope they have a good forever home. Sharon you do a great job:)
    Lighthouse i hope you're going to post some pics when you get you new Basenji.

  • Great news thank you Sharon for all you do to help.

  • Yay! That's great news. Thanks for jumping in with the shelter so quickly Sharron!

  • Good to hear that these dogs are out of there and in a home..

  • Oh, Rita Jean, these dogs went back to the owner. I am not sure this person even notified the shelter about the dogs being missing…and you saw the photos..sigh.
    I posted to the shelter to ask them to see if they could get the owner to take them to the vet.
    I so hope they do..
    Sigh.

  • I am so sorry breaks my heart to see the one little guy so thin. One can only pray and hope that the owners will take them both to the vet. Thank you for all your care, time, most of all concern.

    Rita Jean

  • Thank you all for the support. I do so appeciate it.

    We shall see just how much hekp this little guy really gets from this forum. I called and found out that he was a puppy back 04 when he was adopted from Wayside Waifs and now family has a baby why no longer want him. She said the boy sometimes gets like to be a little stronger over other dogs. I do not care what people think of me or were Jaycee came from it's not me needing help its the the little guy. Actions have always been stronger than words. Gald to see Otis is well and happy. Rita Jean

    Taz has been in foster care through the Midwest Dog Resuce Network since he was turned over by the breeder (I believe around 8 months old). He had two sisters in foster care with him for a short time but they were adopted quickly. They were all shown on the BRAT website but were not evaluated by, or in the care of BRAT. He is such a handsome boy, I had given some serious thought to adopting him until they updated his profile to say that "he likes to be the boss". My female B absolutely has to be the boss of all other dogs (!) so I knew this combo wouldn't work out :( Here is the link to the organization caring for him: http://midwestdogrescuenetwork.com/default.aspx

    It would be nice if they were charged with animal abuse. Those folks deserve to have bad things happen to them. I can only imagine what could have happened to Donko, had he not been found. SIGH!

    @Jylly18: She also has a small tatoo on her belly, its a circle and a cross below, the sign for female. I don't know if that was cosmetic or a breeder thing, but its something I've never seen before on another dog. My guess is that her tattoo is a sign that she's been spayed. I've heard of female dogs that were spayed at some humane society type places being tattooed so that if she winds up in a bad place again, the people taking her in will know she's been spayed. The ones I've seen have been an X in a circle. Saves doing another surgery.
