Please try a trainer first! I just did not want the dog being posted on Craigslist and being given/sold to someone who is not familiar with Bs! There have been so many listed on Craigslist lately.

The help out pouring is great! When I was there in May it looked like Karen and Chuck have done a good job of keeping the brush cleared back and they have tile roofs on the house and kennels. There are very few trees as well.

Please let me know where to send donations. I usually send my donations to their PO BOX in Acton, CA.

Yes, please confirm where to send $$ if you can. I'll keep them all in my thoughts and prayers. If anyone has an update as well…
-
Me too, on letting me know where to send donation or how I can help. I would take some of the dogs in, but geographically that might be hard..
-
I just received an email from A breeder friend that her best friend in San Diego is offering housing and money. They offered quote "temporary housing, money, dog transport - just name it - we are there". The Basenji community is really stepping up to help. Karen and Chuck thank you all!
-
I will try and call Karen's cell and see if they are OK and get info as to where to send donations.
-
I just spoke with Chuck and they are still at the ranch. The winds have shifted a bit and kept the fire up on the hills. If it changes and they have to leave he will call me. Any donations will help just send to their PO box. He said the house and kennels would be OK in the fire. It's very clear around the place. The smoke would be the problem for the dogs. They thank you all!

If there is anything I can help with, please ask.

Thank you for the update Dan. I am trying to get the word out to everyone who has been asking.
-
Dan, thanks for the update, will send money too..

So glad to hear this. I talked to them yesterday and it sounded like they had a good escape plan, but this fire is pretty scary–I can see it all the way from my house.
My check, as they say, is in the mail.
-
Chuck said they have the vehicles with trailers backed up to the house in case they have to leave. He said it's difficult just trying get to the store.
Thanks again to you all on the forum for your help!! You all are great people! -
Hi everyone, I am so touched by the outpouring of your kindness, messages & offers. No new phone updates from Karen or Chuck yet, but I tracked the fires in the Acton area all day yesterday & today with the Forest Service & Reuters. Fires are all over the Acton area, & very close to their ranch. Here's a link to some photos of Acton, CA on Reuters.com:

Hopefully, Karen should surface soon. I'll let you know!
Thank you all! Maxie -
I just talked to Karen–they're okay. I'm so relieved, the fire is not near them and probably won't be.
