Basenji lost in Ithaca NY

Lost and Found Basenjis
  • G

    A seven month r/w female Basenji got lost just before dark last evening in Ithaca NY.

    The family is visiting there and are scheduled to leave Sunday for AZ….They are frantic to find her.
    She is not familiar with the area and is wearing a collar and has a leash attached to a harness..
    She was last seen darting into a wooded area when a stranger chased her trying to catch her.

    She is Micro chipped, but I don't have the number handy.

    I do not know the actual area of town she was in but the owner does...
    Owners phone number is 928 243 0053
    Mine is 602 942 4693.
    Any help or information would be great fully appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Bev

    It looks like there are several different animal control facilities in that county but the main one is Tompkins County Animal Control. There are several other towns in the county with their own animal control which makes it difficult to try to find a stray dog that has been picked up!

    You might want to post on the SPCA of Tompkins County Facebook Page!

    I saw a post on FB that she was found with the help of a tracking dog and is fine.

    A good "safety" exercise to practice is a command that tells your dog treats are in the offing, and use it at irregular intervals when you are walking. Combine the command with a total release of pressure on the leash, preferably when your dog has firm tension on said leash. Then if something unexpected happens you have a built in reaction of the dog to look to you for a reward. This won't work if your dog is pursuing a major distraction, but should give you an edge if you have an equipment failure in otherwise neutral conditions. (you can carry this one step further by "accidentally" dropping the leash in a controlled area, or with a light line attached for safety, and practice until the dog turns to you when it feels a total release)

    Have you contacted vet offices and low cost neuter/spay clinics? Since he is intact and someone may be keeping him, the finder may go and have him neutered. Jennifer

    In the old book/movie, "Goodbye My Lady", the basenji was lost and living in a swamp when rescued by the boy. Dexter was re-enacting that role, perhaps!

    Don't give up hope; I thought one of my other dogs was dead earlier this year, (he's a deaf staffy); he was lost during the week of the blizzard… I said many prayers, and I live in a farming community, w/the help of a wonderful friend, and many prayers Jack made it home safely... a little thin, raw paw pads, but he came home alive (and yes the fence was fixed). I'll keep ya's in my prayers.
