I'm sure this has already been forwarded to basenjirescue.org but I sent it again just in case as well as posted this on their Facebook page. Hopefully someone can help this guy out. I can help with transport if needed. 🙂
R/W boy in LA
-
Received an email from the ASPCA in Walker, LA about a young (1-2 years) Basenji boy they found. They were inquiring about our Juan who went missing in April and the lost pet ad I had placed on Petfinder. They sent me a pic, it wasn't Juan, of course (he's 7 now), but they did say he's up for adoption. Does BRAT get involved in these types of cases?
-
Medfly Brigade Basenji Rescue will try to get him if Karen has the room. You can notify her of the boy at http://www.basenjirescue.com/.
-
Brat can help, if Medfly can't.
-
Is there a website to view this R/W boy?
-
I would think that Louisiana would be a bit far to get him to Medfly. Can someone contact the BRAT coordinator who covers Louisiana and let them know he is there?

Opps, I misread that as LA as in Los Angeles, not Louisiana.:o Too far away for Medfly but I'm sure there must be a Basenji rescue volunteer near by.
-
I informed the BRAT folks, so fingers crossed they can help.
-
I originally thought Los Angeles, too.:D
Wow…I love his ears! They give him so much character.:)
-
Thanks Sharron for contacting BRAT..
I sure hope he finds a great home. -
We sure have had a lot of b's coming in lately. I so hope it slows down soon.
-
I hope it slows down makes me so sad when I see another one but I do love the happy ending. He is a cute guy hope he gets a home right away.

Just curious Sharron as to what are the biggest factors?
-
I would just be guessing.
My top guesses are not doing the homework to find out what b's are like when you live with them.
Also, I think folks just don't have the $$ to either tend them, or lose their jobs and have to move in with family who doesn't want them.
Those are my guesses. -
Thanks so much Sharon. I hope BRAT can help Frankie; I have this sinking feeling that someone would see how cute he is and adopt him without knowing anything about Basenjis - and there he'd be, in rescue or a shelter again!
