Urgent: Maddie needs a Home or a Foster

Basenji Rescue
  • This girl is scheduled for euthanasia 7/25

    Maddie is an 8 month old, red & white female mix who was owner surrendered because she was "too wild" (typical). This is a very sweet little dog who gets along with dogs and cats, is housetrained and vaccinated; she hasn't made a sound since being at the shelter. The shelter worker really likes her but they are NOT a no kill shelter and will euthanise for space.

    BRAT was contacted in the hope that we can assist in saving the following Basenji mix. Unfortunately BRAT does not have enough foster homes to take in the Basenji mixes but BRAT does not like having to turn away perfectly adoptable animals so I am posting this dog here in case any one of you can step up to the plate.

    Contact the shelter, and Joanne Free, ASAP if interested in this dog. By adopting or fostering this girl you are truly saving her life. A reasonable distance transport could possibly be arranged if you are wanting to adopt or foster but are out of state. Let me know.

    She is at the Johnson City Animal Shelter in Johnson City, TN.

  • Thank you so much for posting this.
    One never knows when a face will touch someone and a new home will be found.

  • She is a cute dog, hopefully someone can help soon!

  • I was informed that Maddie is gone from the shelter, but the person who answered the phone didn't know what happened to her. Hannah (who is usually the person I spoke with) is off today. I am hoping that someone either adopted her or took her into rescue, I'm sure that's the case. Thank you all for offering to help, sadly, there'll be more.

    I feel like people need to be just as careful when choosing a rescue as they are when choosing a breeder. Rescues have been found to be hoarders, to be breeders labelling their dogs as rescues as a marketing ploy, or like PETA, to kill 97% of animals they "rescue". The impression I got of this rescue was that it was not one I wanted to work with because they seemed to hold some extreme views. I am delighted to hear that I was wrong and that this is a good rescue. The situation with the "breeder" is horrible, and I am glad this girl is finally being cared for. I agree that the breeder has earned herself a place in you know where. After Estelle passed away while my MIL was in the process of trying to adopt her she is a little gun shy. It is amazing how attached you can get to an animal you haven't even met. -Nicole

    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.
