Can anyone help this little dog before its too late?


  • I posted the info on the SOCAL get-together thread… but southern Cali seems a long way away from this little guy. And Boxman was not on that thread. I had emailed Mike Swan (of BRAT) directly so hopefully he'll check his email this morning and get someone on the case. Keep your paws crossed!


  • If there is an adopter or a foster in So Cal, a BUR run could probably be organized. That would make the drive a bit shorter depending on how many people were willing to participate.


  • I received a note from Mike Swan, BRAT, that they knew of this basenji and there are plans already for his adoption to happen on Tuesday


  • That's great! Thank you for checking on this…that dog was too adorable to be let go, he looks exactly like my Tosca actually, maybe that is why I felt especially bad for him:) I hope whoever adopts him gives him a great home!


  • if only the dog would have been closer, I could have snatched him up… well its good that they found a possible adoptee.

    i'm still looking for one.....


  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!!


  • Boxman you could still wait a couple of days in then call, just in case whatever is on Tuesday doesn't work out….good luck and I hope you find a dog soon!


  • From what I've seen on the BRAT web site (I was checking for several months before I got Tyler and Zoey)–there usually aren't many Bs available in CA (but there is a link to Medfly on their site). And when there is, it seems to be in this same area (Sacramento), and they seem to get snapped up pretty quickly--which is great for the dogs. It is hard to be patient sometimes, but things sure did work out in the end for me--it was like Tyler, Zoey and I were meant to be together.

    Yes, there are a couple of BYB's in the Sacramento area and that is usually where they show up for rescue.

    ohhhhh–that explains it......


  • Great news everyone my Brother and sister in law just E-mailed me. They were planning to get Benny out and foster… called the shelter early today and Benny has been adopted. He has a family now!
    I told them about Benny yesterday when I saw the post BDawg put up because they are not to far from that shelter. I'm so happy he was not put down.

    If you belong to Facebook please join the group "Basenji Puppies/Puppys/Puppy’s: Get Educated BEFORE you BUY". You will learn from the group posts and information why the two breeders mentioned above are not considered "reputable" as well as a whole raft of other breeders considered "disreputable". You will also learn what constitutes a reputable breeder. A non-refundable deposit is a red flag, not being able to locate sire and dame test results on OFA is another, contracts where the breeder does not accept full responsibility of their pups or dogs if something goes wrong or you can no longer take care of him/her. Reputable does not mean they have to be a show breeder but usually they are. Not all puppies are meant for the show ring but their breeder should be breeding to the standard as if they were.

    @hilario23 Well done for coming to what is probably a hard decision, but the right one, both for your family and for the dog.

    Email me privately. Address in signature block websites. But this is not a year to be thinking about Basenji puppies. And lists for next year are being compiled by some breeders.

    You can also check with Camp Basenji if you are interested in an adult rescue. I know she has tris since I have one from her. :) Pam does NOT list all her available dogs as people tend to fixate on a picture and just want THAT one. She is superb at matching people with the right dog if you are upfront about what you want and can handle. We still laugh at me wanting a NOT too laid back dog. She almost didn't let me have one, figuring SOMETHING was wrong with me wanting a tough dog. But after a while, she decided I was okay and she sent me "THE FEISTY ONE" . LOL, the having is not the same as the wanting as Spock said. (Just joking, I adore every atom of her being.) http://www.campbasenji.org/adopt-a-basenji/ Cara in wild play mode. :) [image: 1502325057436-wildcarajan2013.jpg]

    Check out this video of 9 week old Jaroufa's Glamazon at Rift Valley is quite the agility queen. She went to her new home today thanks to my good friend/ driver and combat tracking mentor, Frank Merritt. We will miss the dark brindle girl but she is going to one of the top racing homes in the country and that is what this litter was all about. http://youtu.be/YkzaZAGcfeY
