28+ basenjis need rescued

Basenji Rescue
  • @Vegas:

    Well, it's just an semi-educated guess based on their appearances. It may or may not prove to be correct. We got the vet there today though, so everybody will get weighed, and then we should be able to more easily monitor the suspect females.

    I wonder if the make doggie prego test kits?:o

    Breeders sure wish they did…... but the answer is no... they don't

  • How long will it take to tell if the dogs are pregnant?

    They can do ultrasound at 21 days…..

  • That will show how many pups and how far along they are yes?
    Not having done any breeding, this is all new to me.
    Thanks Pat for the info

    Depending on how good the person is at doing ultrasound they can tell about how many… usually pretty close... exactly how far along... not really... unless a Vet that is really up on doing/reading ultrasounds..... also vets can palpate bitches... and at least know if they are in whelp...

  • The vet says that one is prego, and ready to go, and two others might be pregnant.

    I went back last night, and helped feed, and clean kennels. All of the dogs had a bath except for two. A brindle female was being extremely fearful, and one of the males was about the same. We'll see if they warm up today, and when/if they do, they will get their baths too.

    Those 4 seven-month old tris are soooo cute.

  • I know how busy you all are, but I would love to see some photos when you get them.
    Hugs and hugs for doing this.
    Are you keeping one?

  • Kudos to those involved for removing all these dogs from the endless breeding cycle of puppy mills. I am sending positive vibes that most will be adoptable.

    Will the females who are determined to be in very early stages of pregnancy be spayed immediately?

  • That I do not know.

    Sharron, I'm having problems with my camera/computer, or I would already have them up!

    I'm working on it though…promise.;)

  • I know how busy you are.
    I can't tell you all how much I admire you all dropping your lives to help these dogs.
    YOU ALL ROCK!

  • Big THANKS to all the people involved in rescuing these pups - the thought of what might have happened is just too scary to contemplate.

    I wish I could help with fostering (but I'm leaving for Europe in a few weeks) especially since I could just picture them needing love and care.

  • I went to see the remaining SD dogs yesterday and help get two to Suzanne in Mi for fostering.
    The dogs broke my heart but also made me happy to know that their "good life" is getting ready to start.
    I took Zena and Zora from Mattoon back to Indiana and they are just sweethearts.
    I have never seen such a skinny girl as Zena, I just wanted to keep her and feed and love on her. They were both shy, scared, and a bit nervous- as can be expected.
    I think both will make wonderful turnarounds and just flourish. They did enjoy being loved on once they got used to it a bit, so there is tons of hope for these two girls.
    Thanks to Suzanne Sarlls for taking these sweet girls and Liz for her amazing organization abilities :)
    It was great to be part of getting these dogs to the good life.

  • Christy, do send photos when you can.
    How old are these 2 girls?
    Are they the pg ones?
    Sharron

  • Is Zena the brindle girl? She was one of the toughest, I believe. That poor girl was soooo scared.

    She would not be one of the prego chicas.

  • Toughest as it damaged, scared?
    Thanks so much for all you folks have done for these b's.

  • She was one of the toughest to handle.

  • Its good she has a kind basenji smart home to go to then.
    She will figure out quickly that people and being inside is a good thing.

  • No, these 2 girls are not preggo. One had had puppies awhile ago.
    Zena was one of the brindles, but not the fear biter, but looked very simila- sisters? She was the thinnest dog I have ever seen. I think she weighed in at 14lbs. But had such a kind sweet face and hopeful eyes. (*It is such a good thing Liz did not tell me to just keep her, i would not have been able to say no)
    Both girls were very sweet and relaxed after holding them for awhile. Zena even sniffed and licked my cheek, which is a great sign.
    I cant wait to see how they turn out.
    It was heartbreaking, but also so inspiring. So many people coming together to help get these dogs to good homes. I keep thinking that in a short while these dogs will be so happy and healthy and loved and get to enjoy being spoiled and loved on.–get to enjoy being dogs.
    Both girls will be fostered by a wonderful home.

  • Thanks so much for the post.
    I am so proud to be a member of the BRAT family.

    Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.

    My old fanconis boy just wouldn't take the pills. I tried to hide them in everything, and he would just roll the "item" around in his mouth and spit out the pill. But your so right. Getting dogs to take treats, in one gulp is a life saver!

    hi sharon. I feel like I know you. I have read your stuff on Brat. I am glad that you are getting the word out on Brat. Mabel, My B was adopted from there. I cannot say enough good things about people in that organization. Actually I'm in that organization. We are good people. Mabel's foster was very helpful with helping me understand her behavior. I think a lot of it was due to fact Mabel is an alpha female. Well just thought I would say hi bubsgram94
