@allanc Yes I read the post twice, I just wasnt sure I was reading it correctly. Confused myself on why a dog would go back because it is having health problems.

“......... I wouldn't let you have another dog - just to dump it when it became inconvenient ?”
OMG!! I completely agree - I wouldn’t allow her to have ANY ANIMAL for that matter! An elderly dog especially needs your love and care at this stage in their lives!!! Some people cease to amaze me - how CRUEL!

Kembe - I am finding it hard to get my head around how anyone could have a Basenji for 6 years (4 until 10, as I recall) and then bin it ! It won't get much love or understanding in a rescue home. But maybe it wasn't loved as it deserved anyway. Poor little mite.
It still seems very strange for you to send your dog to a rescue centre. Did you not consider that that your dog will miss you even more than you miss her. If she was very I'll it may have been best for all to consider euthanasia ! I appreciate that you miss your dog but my original comment still stands - when you let a dog into your life you take on the commitment to look after it for ever. Please don't get another pet unless you can make that commitment.
@fernrn1 I totally agree, it's the worst thing she could've done, for her and the dog !

On a forum such as this, one only ever knows what one is told. I, too, read the post twice.
What we were told was that an elderly, sick Basenji had been sent back to a rescue home. That fact, as it stands with or without any unknown background, cries to Heaven for vengeance.
