14 yr old senior in SoCal needs a home

Basenji Rescue
  • I just received this info from So Cal Basenji Rescue–this poor little 14 yr old needs a home:

    This little basenji mix girl is currently at the East Valley Shelter on Vanown in Van Nuys. Her owner died and there was nobody to take her. She was born 10/10/1993 and has been at the shelter since 12/21/07. Her name is Trixie, she is in kennel #9 and her id number is A128894. She is spayed and a sweetheart. She is in a kennel with other dogs and seems not to have any issues with them.

    If you can help this baby out or know of anyone who can please contact the shelter and let them know. She was a one owner dog until the owners death.

  • I just read on another list that a home has been found, and a 'hold' has been put on her, to be picked up very soon. Hooray!

  • Oh yay! This story really struck my heart; poor old girl. I'm glad she may have found her new forever home!

    That is wonderful news. Do you know if it's definite and where she'll be going?

    It is, but they are still looking for transportation as the person that is taking her is up in the Redding Ca area… she takes "elders" many times and has the room that they can live out the rest of their years with peace and happiness.

    I heard from Karen at SoCal Basenji Rescue that they have little Trixie at their shelter, and transportation has been arranged to get her up to Redding. I'm so glad she found a home so quickly. I can't imagine what it must be like to be without a home at that age…..

  • Oh yay - happy days!

    I would take her in a heartbeat if I had room.. unfortunately I'm pushing my limits with my father already, as I've saved a few cats while living with him again. She sounds like a wonderful dog. I have no doubt that the bites were provoked. Dogs, especially Basenjis, can be very sensitive. If you don't understand that you're dealing with an animal that has feelings too, you're in trouble. I will keep her in my prayers. May she find the best fur-ever home!

    This dog is registered? Wonder who the breeder is? I know someone a few hours away who might take the B if he is OK with kids and another dog in residence.

    @sharronhurlbut: Nemo, BRAT will take him, but lets see if the owner will turn him over to BRAT first. Bless your heart for the offer. He's not asking for much, so hopefully there is a good chance of that. I think he just wants the dog off his hands.

    Oh no! Poor Quinn. The past few months have been rocky for him. You really are an amazing person for all you have done and continue to do for him. I'm sure he knows that he is loved now. Sending happy thoughts and hugs to both of you!
