I need help please!! Father dieing and 2 dogs need a home

Basenji Rescue
  • M

    My father adopted 2 Basenji's from Jaroufa Hounds in Lakewood NJ a few years ago. I have been trying to contact them but they seem to have dropped off the earth. I cannot find them anywhere - phone # disconnected, yellow pages can not find name of group or the owner, Kathryn Ladick.

    My father is lying in the hospital waiting to die. I can not take care of the dogs and do not want to turn them over to the local shelter. I know that Basenji's are a special breed and need a good home.

    If anyone can help me out, please let me know. The dogs are currently in Pennsauken NJ

    Richard always knew that he could bring dogs back and his son finally found me.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your father and can sympathize with what you are going thru.

    I just looked thru my BCOA roster and don't see her listed. I know that Kelli Harmon (Kiroja Basenjis) knows Kathy and knows how to get ahold of her. Her email address is kelli at kirojabasenjis dot com.

    One of the other breeders on here might know how to get in touch with her as well.

    Please let us know how you make out.

    I did find Kathryn and she will be taking Anuket and Anubis home.

    Just to update - tonight at 6:14 my father did pass away peacefully in his sleep.

    Thank you to all of you who replied to this thread, thank you for all of your good wishes and thoughts.

    Mark,
    You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers… I hope that he knew that his basenji's would be well taken care of. God Bless.

    Condolences on the loss of your father – I'm sure he's playing with all our basenjis who have crossed the rainbow bridge.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for stepping in to look after your father's dogs, and thanks to the breeder for taking them back and putting everyone's minds at ease. The pets surely provided him much happiness in life; I believe that the joy that he was lucky to share with those basenjis (and the rest of his family, too) filters into the beyond.

    M.C. w/ Bowdu (shiba inu) and Bowpi (basenji)

    Are they still available? How old are they? We presently have a 20 month old r/w well behaved basenji that we are thinking about getting a playmate for. Brindle is prefered but will consider another r/w or Tri from as young as a puppy to 2 years old male.
    Thank you

    I agree, BRAT does get in pairs and ask they be adopted together plus BRAT works really hard to ensure placement are suitable and going to good homes. If your looking for a basenji savvy home them I would say "yes, getting the fanconi test will help getting them placed"…anyone not savvy or not caring to know about basenji genetic conditions won't care if theyre tested or not)

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.

    Dear Basenji Forums Community, I am sure many of you have been wondering what was the outcome of this rescue effort. Well, let us tell you it was unexpected. A rescue mission that was supposed to unite our community to help save a dog turned into a complete opposite and brought us apart. I would like to thank everyone who stepped in to help and put their time and money to attempt to save this dog and offer him a life without neglect. Members who volunteered themselves for this mission had many years of experience with the breed, with both ill-tempered rescues, and those that have been fabulous. They had enough experience to make a determination whether to attempt this or not. While this dog had issues it is imperative to keep in mind he was a just a puppy, and someone was willing to give him a chance. Others may have disagreed on the reasoning for attempting this, but at no time they were given the right to derail this mission and use this forum to publicly attack and discredit members whose only intentions were to help save this dog. As a result of the actions of certain members our whole community suffered: The dog was not saved Forum rules about code of conduct were broken Existing members were publicly offended and discredited New members were exposed to public arguments Our community lost potential member referrals Members had to be suspended from the forum It is really too bad and sad, because we built this community to bring together basenji owners, breeders, and exhibitors throughout the world. To be hopeful that they could help one another and dogs in need. Thank you again for trying to help. All donation have been refunded and no more assistance will be attempted. Which, of course, is unfortunate for the basenji in need. As a last note please remember to review our forums code of conduct and forum rules and to treat others with utmost respect. Like the Basenjis, each of us is unique with our unique character, but our admiration and respect for this breed have brought us together and make us a community. Disregard for our forum community rules will not be tollerated on this forum. Please contact Basenji Forums staff directly at admin@basenjiforums.com if you have any questions or concerns. This thread is closed for public discussion.

    He sounds like a very sociable youngster who would like having a basenji pal. I can't imagine having just 1, most really seem happier having a buddy. And while it may not be all roses for the first few weeks, after 3 or 4 months they will probably be inseparable. Good luck! Anne in Tampa
