    As time passes, the routine requires change. Puppies need more attention and bigger space (and make more poo…). The adults runs will also need to be moved. They are ready for more space and will need more airflow now that we are moving into the summer months in FL (the original set-up provided them more protection from the wind during our unusually cold winter). Hopefully, I will be able to set up a schedule to allow help from those that have offered - so much has been last-minute due to constantly changing needs. It will be much easier to accommodate drop-in help when they are in a larger area. Margaret, Anne, B. Ann and Debbi have been doing a wonderful job of attending to many details of coordinating that I simply don't have time to do right now - home visits, vet reference checks and placements suggestions all lined up so that I can just say yea or nay. Thanks to their efforts and many other volunteers who are doing the home visits, we have placed 8 of the first 9 younger pups, 3 of the 5 five month old pups and one adult. JR has taken on Aisha, a b mom who has been going through culture shock in DC. We will be posting pups from the next litters shortly. Given that there are so many pups and so many homes that have been waiting for pups, the first batch was placed without posting to relieve demands on my time. Though the pups are remarkably well-balanced and similar (adopters have commented on how cuddly they are!), they do show personality differences. Placement decisions are still based on who fits each pup's needs. If you are interested in a pup and haven't already done so, please submit your application now by following the appropriate links at http://basenjirescue.org/ApplDB/AdoptForm.htm . You can express interest in a pup when they are posted, but early apps allow us to be better prepared by getting home visits done early. As always, I greatly appreciate everyone's support. Pam Hamilton FL District Coordinator Advisory Director Basenji Rescue and Transport A note from Debbi Johnson: If you are interested in adopting one of these basenjis, please submit an adoption application with BRAT. You will be added to an email list which gives notices of available basenjis. Before long, this group from Florida will be listed for adoption. BRAT strives to select the best home for each basenji we have in rescue. If you are interested in fostering, please stay tuned for another update coming to you soon. Each basenji that has left the group has gone home in a crate provided by BCOA. Thanks again to the members of BCOA! So far, basenjis from this group have traveled to new homes in Washington DC, VA, IN, AL, CA, and some have stayed in FL. Plans have been made for others to go to CT, NJ, KY, GA, LA, and NY. We appreciate your interest and support in the rescue of the Wimauma basenjis. Debbi Johnson BRAT Treasurer & Director Germantown, TN debbijbasenjirescue@comcast.net

    Dash, thanks for the update. I hope Sugar is soon doing better. That heartworm treatment is a b**ch for any dog. I hope your continued updates convince people that the the annual blood work and preventative are well worth their time and money, because as you well know, the alternative is quite a bit more costly and painful for the dog (and family) in the long run. Again, thank you and my prayers to you for a better month for you and Sugar.
