Found Basenji

Lost and Found Basenjis
  • Did you have her checked for a microchip?

  • Hit submit too quick on the last message and still can not edit any post I make.

    I meant to ask if when you had her checked for a chip did they check her entire body as the chips can migrate and are not always right between the shoulders.

  • Yes, she has been checked all over for a chip.

  • I think contacting Karen Jones would be a good idea too. Also, you could call around to the different vets in the area, it's not likely they have many basenjis coming in.

    Aside from LVoss's mom, I haven't seen many B&W's down here. I'll e-mail a local breeder the info just in case anyone has heard anything.

    I'm glad you took her in and hope you find her owners soon.

  • Yes, call Karon I'm sure she might have an opinion.

    I went ahead and got your Basenji female (does she have a temporary name yet??) a page on Dog Detective and Craigslist. Is there any way we could get a picture of this little lady?

    Thanks a bunch again..

  • Hello I just read your post and let me tell you just a couple of days ago I saw an ad on Craigslist. A woman lost her female black and white basenji aswell as her terrier mix. Her two dogs escaped from an open side gate in the city of La Puente (LA). No Tags. I dont know if the basenji you found is hers but who knows maybe.
    here is her E-mail from Craigs Jannele@gmail.com

  • Hi,

    I got your e-mail regarding the Basenji that I found possibly being the one lost in La Puente. The dog I found was found in mid January but just to be sure I checked the photo posted on Craig's list and the one I found has different markings and is fairly young. Thank you for keeping me posted.

  • Thank you for taking this dog in.

  • Hi Sharon,

    Thanks for you message regarding me finding the Basenji. She is now a vital part of our family. She has a big brother Max, rescue pit/boxer mix with one ear, and young sister Sara, a pregnant pit we found in the middle of the street. Nine weeks ago Sara gave birth to 8 puppies who we have found homes for! My Basenji is named Belle Fontaine Whatley (Bella for short) and she sleeps under the covers with me every night. She is a great dog and a very good "tattle tale" when the other two get into things! Kim

  • I am delighted you current dogs like her…sounds like you have a houseful.
    She was lucky to have found you...gee, I can't help but wonder where she came from?

  • I would like to think that if I ever lost a basenji, it would wind up with such a kind person who would love it and spoil it and give it a home. I'm sure an owner somewhere was very sad, but you made every effort to find them and have provided the dog with love and a great home. Kudos to you!

  • I agree with Macpack…you sound like a loving home.
    Any idea if she has been fixed?

  • That's a wonderful follow up, but we do need pics.

    @Tayda_Lenny: LOL - Yep! Moved to Sacramento in March! I've been kind of MIA on the forums - it's been a crazy few months - got married in June (in Michigan) and have changed jobs TWICE since being here! Just changed my sig and location - so now I'm "officially" in California! :) Thanks, i was wondering why someone in Conn was going to foster a found dog in Cali. Is it strange for you with the water being on the wrong side and all? congrats on your new marriage and new jobs

    I heard back from the finder this morning. She says his face looks like Basenji, but his tail is long and straight, not curled. So she thinks he might be a mix. Anyway, she is going to take him in to the vet to check for a microchip, and will hold on to him for the rest of the week. If he isn't claimed, she says she will contact BRAT. Terry

    Did Destro get home? I used the LostMyDoggie.com to place lost pet alert phone calls to 250 of my neighbors. I have not had any luck in finding my Dot yet (she climbed our fence on August 17), but I received several phone calls from people in my area asking about the basenji breed. It offered me some comfort and I knew that there were a lot of people looking for her. I will keep looking for Dot. I have gotten more search ideas from this forum tonight to help me. Please don't give up on Destro. They must be with some good person just out of our reach, so we have to keep looking a little farther away every day.

    Thanks for the update MacPack. A great ending to the story. If you see Kaisers folks again, tell them we all send our well wishes to them and their dogs.

    Don't give up hope; I thought one of my other dogs was dead earlier this year, (he's a deaf staffy); he was lost during the week of the blizzard… I said many prayers, and I live in a farming community, w/the help of a wonderful friend, and many prayers Jack made it home safely... a little thin, raw paw pads, but he came home alive (and yes the fence was fixed). I'll keep ya's in my prayers.
