Have you had any success with finding out any rescue/adoption information? I am in a similar situation.
New Adoptee of 1 Year Old DIESEL in Wisconsin Needs to Form Basenji Train to Michigan
-
I have a friend just outside of Chicago who is trying to get something going for that part of the trip and maybe all the way to me. I will speak with her later on today and as soon as I know more I will post it here for all to see and we will find out what is left to do then. (I'm off to spend half the day getting oral surgery, Oh Boy! Lucky me!) I will be in touch by this afternoon. THANKS WIZARD!
Dave,
I won't have a free day until after June 20 unfortunately and we still need someone to get him through Chicago.
Have you contacted BRAT or this transport option - http://operationroger.rescuegroups.org/
Would you consider sending him by air as a last resort? -
@DAVE&PIPET:
Hi Wizard! I really appreciate your willingness to possibly assist in all this as it is truly the only way I can afford currently, to make it happen as I have some medical stuff of my own to tend to. As to the biting history, he has been said to be "nippy" and as that was what I used to speak about Pipet - my 5 year old (and incidentally - why is my profile picture not showing up on my posts…or is it?)....I do not worry that Diesel can and will learn through the same training method I employed for Pipet, to stop biting and I am certain loads of love and stability will benefit his personality and current underlying conflict/issues.
I guess we need to find the other person in Illinois or southern Wisconsin to assist us further. A very nice member has offered to throw in some gas money if we get this organized. I know the one week scenario is not a good one for any adoption, but I consider all the shifts Diesel has endured these past 2 weeks and my heart just aches to get him into a chair that is his, a couch that is half his and a yard he can chase Pipet around until he collapses unconscious in my loving arms!! PLEASE REACH OUT WITH ANY AND ALL IDEAS!!! Thank You Basenji People!!
Hey Dave & Wizard,
If you can get Diesel to Madison WI area from Eau Claire I am willing to get him from there to outside of Chicago. Feel free to email me scifi.moth@gmail.com.
Lets find a way to make this happen
-
Well I can pick him up in Eau Claire, three hours each way and Madison is two hours South. I picked up my last half "B" over there in Jan. One of them retired guys so open most times.

WOW! Really? If you could do Eau Claire to Madison and hand off to MOTH, that is half the trip and a HUGE help (all you guy's have to go on my Christmas Card List). Let me know if you can do this and what day's in the next 5 day's work best. Tag the note onto MOTH's last post and also to me at dedavis321@yahoo.com >CHEERS DAVID - From Pipet & Dave

Hopefully the three of you can make this happen, sounds promising!

DaMac and Moth,
Please do work together as you are so much closer than I am (I'm north of Minneapolis and I would have to make it back to Minneapolis area that same day). I wish you two and Dave and Diesel the best of luck. -

Glad to see that Diesel will be on his way to Dave in MI. Good luck to all and safe trips.

Well, Diesel looks to be really happy in his new home. Transfer went just great, good weather. Got to meet Moth in Madison and Deisel was on his way. Dave has a vidieo he is going to post but the site was down. Just proves what a great bunch we have here!
