I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.
Basenji Mix
-
I have rescued a dog that appears to be a Basenji mix. I already have 3 dogs and they are all older. This puppy wants to play all the time and she is upsetting my other dogs. I want to find her a good home as she seems very smart and gets on well with other dogs and cats. I think she would be a great agility dog because of her energy. I live in Houston, Texas and was hoping someone her could direct me to perhaps a good no kill rescue? Here are some pics.

if you go to www.basenjirescue.org they have a link for possible Basenji mixes, I would say to try them

She's really lovely. hope you find her a home soon...or keep working her hard until she settles down.

@susanlvs2jmp As others have said BRAT is a great resource. You should also keep working with her because Basenjis are extremely intelligent and she will want to bond with YOU as you are the Leader of the Pack. I would not give up on her so soon, she may become a fantastic companion for your other dogs.
Please rethink giving her away!

This pup did find a home through BRAT, and she has moved to MT.
