    I will let you know that the pet store took him back and is planning to find out what's wrong and to rehome him.

    I'm not the one with the pup, but there are tons of issues with this pup that you don't see here.

    Thank you for that info.
    Hopefully, he can be vetted and behaviors turned around.
    I will say a prayer to that.
    Hugs

    Lucky home that gets this pup :rolleyes: ….
    I think that is seriously unethical to even consider rehoming (read reselling) this pup to another unsuspecting home. But that's just me....

    I totally agree with you….. unethical to the pup and to the potential home... I fear with this story on this pup... someone will get seriously hurt....:mad:

    Pat and I had been talking to the grandmother privately, and there was much more to it than just aggression. I also fear what happened to this dog…and the family it goes to. I'm in total agreeance with you guys.

    Yes, that is true Arlene and I have been… and it is a very sad situation... like I said in other posts, sometimes the greatest act of kindness is to let this pup go....

    Sometimes as a rescue person, the kindest thing we can advice, or do, is give the dog peace of the rainbow bridge.
    I have had to do that in the past…thank heavens, not for years.
    Its never been something I have done lightly, but I have never felt it was a wrong decision.
    The only decision I could do to give peace to the dog...

    Some things cannot be fixed. I urge you to get a qualified behaviorist (veterinary) to evaluate him. If he is truly unstable, rehoming him is not fair to him or the new home.

    Dear Basenji Forums Community, I am sure many of you have been wondering what was the outcome of this rescue effort. Well, let us tell you it was unexpected. A rescue mission that was supposed to unite our community to help save a dog turned into a complete opposite and brought us apart. I would like to thank everyone who stepped in to help and put their time and money to attempt to save this dog and offer him a life without neglect. Members who volunteered themselves for this mission had many years of experience with the breed, with both ill-tempered rescues, and those that have been fabulous. They had enough experience to make a determination whether to attempt this or not. While this dog had issues it is imperative to keep in mind he was a just a puppy, and someone was willing to give him a chance. Others may have disagreed on the reasoning for attempting this, but at no time they were given the right to derail this mission and use this forum to publicly attack and discredit members whose only intentions were to help save this dog. As a result of the actions of certain members our whole community suffered: The dog was not saved Forum rules about code of conduct were broken Existing members were publicly offended and discredited New members were exposed to public arguments Our community lost potential member referrals Members had to be suspended from the forum It is really too bad and sad, because we built this community to bring together basenji owners, breeders, and exhibitors throughout the world. To be hopeful that they could help one another and dogs in need. Thank you again for trying to help. All donation have been refunded and no more assistance will be attempted. Which, of course, is unfortunate for the basenji in need. As a last note please remember to review our forums code of conduct and forum rules and to treat others with utmost respect. Like the Basenjis, each of us is unique with our unique character, but our admiration and respect for this breed have brought us together and make us a community. Disregard for our forum community rules will not be tollerated on this forum. Please contact Basenji Forums staff directly at admin@basenjiforums.com if you have any questions or concerns. This thread is closed for public discussion.

    That's what I was guessing, Jannie, but I didn't remember your name, just Gracie and Roxie's. Must be all those years of being known as "Gena's (or one of the other kids') Mom" and knowing other mothers the same way. :p I'll let you know as soon as I talk to Laura today what's up. Thanks again, Alex. I know we've had issued with bots and trolls, so I understand not recommending posting email addresses.
