    He is TOTALLY handsome!! I hope if he's lost, he finds his family… and if not, someone with a big heart should save him!! This totally reminds me of Miles's story!!

    Thanks for all the ideas I actually did contact the shelter about Tigger.. I'm about 35 minutes from them but they said they only adopt in their community. What I'm looking for is a female, i think that would be best for our boy. I'm also ok with just about any age I figured if I could help a slightly older girl that would be good. I do have kids girls 6 and 10..but they know Bs and respect them. Deke doesn't put up with too much. He doesn't like many other kids just his, well I mean mine. HA HA I figure it will happen when its ment to. We are kind of busy until the end of October so maybe it's for the best. Thanks again..I love this forum..everyone is great!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, he is BEAUTIFUL!! I talked to a BRAT person today (via email) to make sure they knew about him. They asked if we would go visit him. Of course we said yes but we live three hours away–so if you know anyone in the Canton Ohio area who may be able to check him out they should get in contact with a BRAT volunteer. Otherwise it looks like a road trip for us pretty soon!!!

    Just got another email and they have found someone close to evaluate this beautiful boy,,,,,,,,,,,,so if you are interested in him I would keep an eye out on the BRAT website

    Hi Senji,

    Some coordinators respond more promptly than others. It can depend too on how many applicants there are for a particular basenji. With an older dog there usually are not too many but when a coordinator has several dogs posted at the same time, or even just two or three, it can be time consuming to keep up with the correspondance.

    Please write to me privately if you are still left hanging and I will follow up to see what the status is regarding your app and Lizzie's placement.

    Thanks Liz
    I resent the app thought it might have gotten lost out there in cyber space somewhere.

    I help with BRAT and we really do try to be prompt with contacting new aps.
    Sometimes we are out of town, but I try to at least drop a note saying I will be in touch with them when I am back in town.
    Fingers crossed, you will hear from someone soon.
    Do let us know how it goes.
    When you get your basenji, send photos!

    I'm a little crazy…I check it at least once a day. I saw a cute one on petfinder yesterday. He's in NJ it says to contact BRAT but I haven't seen him there. It says he's a mix but from the picture he looks a lot like a B.

    Yes,,,,,,,I usually look daily too!!!!!! One of the coordinators told me that they often have more dogs than what is on the website. Have you looked at Missy– she is a new one.

    I saw Mark yesterday. I'd love to have him he seemed laid back enough to get along with mine but I'm in PA and TX is awefully far away. Same with Missy. I was hoping something closer would come up.

    We are lucky enough to have several of the pack in our Sunday group. Last Sunday Butler (Batboy) and Kizzie were there, we also see Kongo (Afrika) and Flash on occasion. Kizzie (5 months old when captured) was always so shy, even at the park she hung back and her folks sometimes had difficulty catching her to leave, but Sunday she was right in the group, ran in a big 23-basenji run, and came right to her 'mom' easily, what a change. It was a thrill to see her playing with the other basenjis and being so close to the humans, coming to her folks to be petted. Wow, what a lucky basenji! Butler (Batboy) was only 8 days old when captured, so he has grown up with humans and is not at all shy, comes right up to get petted and is really bonded with his human and basenji brother (an older "Holland" dog, they look very much alike). It's great that all the adopters have a group to share successes and challenges.

    Laugh, its almost like that..I remember one time, I called my husband at work, told him I was headed down to Portland about 4 hrs away, to p/u a dog, and would see him in a couple of days…he was NOT a happy camper I know he was thinking about the gas and room not to mention the chow I was charging Oh, well, got to spend your $$ on something right???

    This is just my opinion…I like to fly dogs to their new homes if possible. Car run are ok...but I always worry about accidents, or a dog getting loose. With the plane, its a lot quicker.
