  • I'm waiting to hear back from Sharron {BRAT} before moving forward.

    You guys are all awesome,though, for jumping on this!

  • Hi all.
    I just got back into town.
    I know BRAT does not "buy"dogs, so paying for this dog will have to be done by folks who care what happens to him. It can't be BRAT related.
    I will take him into BRAT's care once he has been screened by a foster home.
    So he does have a place to go.
    So, its a matter of discussing this with this "owner" to see what price she will sell him at.
    Now, I did send her all the BRAT info and the fees we charge to adopt b's out to folks.
    She wouldn't turn him over, so I asked her to take my info and give it to the next family so they could contact me when they had basenji issues.
    I need to get up to speed re this being still availible.
    You all can send funds where you wish, if someone has a pay pal acct, that would probably be best.
    I will catch up this weekend.

  • I just realized how stupid that above post was.
    SIGH!
    Yes, BRAT does buy puppymill dogs with the board approval but that is a case by case thing and not done as a matter of course.
    This boy, if he is still not sold will have to be done by private members who care about this boys future.
    I just felt I needed to post this so we are clear this is a nice group of folks who are donating to this boys fees and not a BRAT project.
    Hugs to you all.

  • Okay, we're set up to go with this boy . . . I have recieved $150.00 thus far into my paypay account.

    For those of you who offered to donate, you can donate through PayPal to the email address darrenturner@wavecable.com.

    I know I should have held off until I had all funds on hand, but I was also working on my friend's schedule, and she's out of town quite a bit..

    Can I get a quick recount of those who intend to donate?

  • I've sent money via Paypal. Hopefully you've heard from them by now.

  • @BasenjiDiva:

    I've sent money via Paypal. Hopefully you've heard from them by now.

    Pat

    Yes, Pat, thanks. I've just gotten notification! :D

  • I have sent money via paypal also…

  • As have I, and I've received your confirmation e-mail, JazzysMom.

    Crossing my fingers that all goes as planned!

  • I plan on sending money tomorrow while at work. Although only expect $10 from me. I wish it could be more. Hopefully other people will pull through though so we can save this baby :)

  • Every penny helps, so we all appreciate every contribution.

    PayPal is up to $240, so we're getting there!

    I'm getting excited….almost as if I'm bringing this little boy home w/me, LOL, but dh has made it quite clear that I am not! ;-(

  • I have to say that you all are wonderful.
    We have the foster home set up for next sat, that is the day of "sale".
    I am hopeful we can post some photos soon and give a nice report of this b's temperment.
    Hugs to you all.
    THANK YOU!

  • I sent money as well. I presume it was received. I got confirmation from PayPal that it was sent, but nothing else???

  • @TuckerVA:

    Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I'd emailed you directly.:(

    yes, I got your money.Thanks!;)

  • How much more money is needed? Vanessa and I would like to contribute.

  • Well, I have $240 now, and am expecting $35 more tomorrow….

    So, that'd leave $25 still needed to hit the full $300.

  • Just sent $25.

  • Thanks Nina and Alex; your contributions are in.

    Now, to get the gal to pin point a time…..

  • We are still set up for this coming sat.
    I have someone who will do a short term foster until Lisa, the long term if needed, foster is back into town.
    JoNell, if your folks are all set, we are!

  • We are a go for this Saturday afternoon!

    I'm taking Keoki and/or Jazz to see how they interact. Hopefully, they'll play well together.
    I'm excited!

  • This is awesome. We should start a sidebar to BRAT where we can do these types of things on a regular basis. I'd certainly like to put money I donate annually to a cause that is 'closer to home' for me - something like this.

    :)

    Otherwise, I'll just send $$$ to Brat!

    @listeme: Knowing how fast technology changes and improves, I'd be hesitant to sign up for a program like this if I weren't going to be using it in a couple of years or less. Remember VCRs? Cassette tapes? Telephones that attach to walls? :D lol. ya i suppose you all are right. At first i thought about it, but i dont know. I guess its still a good thing if you have to do more than one chip in a dog. and i think they said the microchips are good forever (whether thats possible or not) I guess its still worth it for me, IMO. Since rescue and my personal dogs. I can use that amount of chips (in rescue) within a year or two. So…i think its a good deal. Whether it is or not...

    I'm sorry for your loss. I did not mean to seem overly harsh, but I am glad you found the article eye-opening. I am very sad that you lost your boy so young. Please consider giving a homeless dog a second chance, or buy only from responsible breeders for a pup. it really is worth it. -Nicole

    @Nemo: Here's the link. http://www.basenji.org/learn/ Go to "screening breeders" at the top. That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
