Puppy mill BRAT worked on in 01, Ca

Basenji Rescue
  • I thought some of you would like to see this part of basenji rescue history.
    Sharron.
    Oh, one of my foster homes still has a girl from this Hell Hole…she has cronic eye issues...but is happy and they love her. SH

    I recently received an email from Suzanne Kane of California. Suzanne was
    very involved in the Modesto basenji rescue in 2001. I went back to find an
    article about this rescue which was published in The Basenji magazine. I
    thought you might be interested in this piece of BRAT history.

  • Thanks for posting this Sharron. The article really paints a Vivid Picture for those who might not fully understand the plight that these innocent dogs suffer, and the full value of the work that people who are involved with BRAT and other Rescue organizations really provide.

  • Thanks Jason, some puppymill dogs aren't so damaged, more like byb dogs, but some are truely in hell.
    The reports of folks who have had these type of b's and watched them grow to even a dog who will come for a pet…well, its something to read.
    I can only imagine the joy in the foster folks hearts when they see a dog so damaged turn around...even just for a little bit.
    Every dog we get from these "bad" breeders and puppymillers is a dog who will not add to the stories we all have, rescue for sure, but the owners who buy these dogs..not realizing what they are getting.....
    what a nightmare they end up with, temperment and heath wise...
    well I am speaking to the educated here I do know.

    @tanza said in Sacramento, CA BRAT: You can always also contact breeders that might be wanting to place could be looking to place an x-show dog that they are not using for breeding or possible an adult they have gotten back for whatever reason. You might need to travel a bit, but check out breeders in OR/WA for sure. I know for a fact that FoPaws in WA (Therese Leimback) have two middle aged to place from an owner return. Don't know what the current situation is, there is a male and a female. You can find her on facebook. Highly recommend either of these two Great recommendation. Breeders who take dogs back are also virtually guaranteed to give you a good description of the dog's personality and their pluses and minuses.

    It is wonderful for these poor breeding dogs. I do so hope that these dogs can find angels to take them in. Its a hard rescue…but so rewarding. These dogs don't know what grass is...they are afraid of EVERYTHING! BUT with kindness and care, they can bloom.. Anytime a puppymill closes, its a good thing indeed. Thanks for sharing this with us.
