I saw a post on FB that he is back with his owner now.
Lost Dog - Meridian, ID
-
Since this is supposed to be a support forum, taking jabs at her is truly not warranted, no matter who you are in the basenji world.
Well said, Karen. Let's focus on getting the family reunited, and not passing judgement.
-
This is a lovely little bitch… I posted pictures of her last year as a pup, stacked and head shots.
Everyone commented on how pretty she was... beautiful headpiece... sweet demeanor.
I truly hope she is okay, but I can see her being beyond freaked out and afraid to come to anyone but Mom.
Dad is dad and that is how it goes... she wants her Mommy.
COME BACK LIL RED! -
Karen, is she microchipped? I'm reading lost and found ads; some will say whether they've checked for chips-
-
i know that the clinic she was at is a 24/7 clinic so someone is the all night to care for the patients i hear they are one of the best clinic to go to

That's a relief. I hate to think of the pups being shuffled from place to place especially without mom.

I forwarded the BRAT CHAT Lost Dog email posting about this (with pics and all) to my friends who live about 10 miles away from Meridian. They are keeping their eyes open. Hope this B mama is found soon.
-
Little Red does have an Avid microchip. The owner said she was checking to make sure all the information was updated.
-
Little Red may have been found. Hopefully more details soon.
-
Little Red is back at the vet hospital and reunited with her pups.
-
Wonderful news..the best news I 've heard in a while..happy dance for her and for her puppies.
-
Spectacular news… so happy to hear this!
-
That's great! I'm so happy to hear that they have been reunited!
-
Little Red is back at the vet hospital and reunited with her pups.
I'm so glad to read this. Hopefully nobody is worse for the absence.
-
Yes, lets hope mom and babies can bond again.
I will let you know if I here anything else. -
Great news!!!
-
Thank God for little miracles! I'm sure those puppies are busy scolding Mama, and Mama is happily licking those puppies with lovely basenji kisses.
I love happy endings! -
There was a person who had a b get out the same time this girl went missing.
Well, sadly, a car got her. Sue didn't post it until Little Red was back as she didn't want to cause any concern.
So, for all you folks who are ok with letting b's off leash, its all good until it isn't.
I am not being judgemental I let my 2 off leash in Cannon Beach Or and we take the chance that they will not head off toward the road…I am just saying, if they are loose the are at risk... -
In both the cases that happened this week, the dogs got loose,they did not run off while being off leash. Please work with your dogs to help teach them not to door dash. There are several things you can do to teach your dog that staying inside unless given permission is a great policy.
One thing I do is to leash up my dogs open the door and if they dash out shut it so they can not go anywhere, they are on leash but they also are not inside enjoying the dog party that everyone who stayed inside got. Then I open the door they come in, I close the door and we have a dog party. Then I repeat until they see the open door and stay inside waiting for the dog party to start.
When I have to open the door and my dogs are loose in the house, I toss kibble away from the door to help condition them to move away from an opening door instead of towards it.
Ask for eye contact and use a release word for leaving the house, exiting the car, etc.
Practice name response with your dog and heavily reward coming to their name so if they do get loose, you have a good chance of getting them to come when they hear their name.
Practice Grab Me, Feed Me so if they do get loose they associate being grabbed at with a highly likelihood of being fed so they are more likely to be caught.

Also, her Dad is not on this forum. She climbed a kennel run. As we all know accidents happen. And I knew this girl personally as it was my C-Me's (and Chief's) mother, Paris. And she is related to many on this forum.
And this is not the only one that I know of in the month of May that has had a run in with a car… thankfully for this boy, he will make it, but it was touch and go with two weeks in the ER Hospital, Emer surgery, two hip fractures, plus another fracture... and we will not even discuss the cost involved in putting this boy back together.
Cars and Basenjis do not mix... never take it for granted that they will stay out of harms way... because they don't.... and it is bad enough when accidents happen...

Pat, I had no idea Paris was related to you by dog. I am so very sorry for your loss.
