Found Basenji

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!

[sharronhurlbut]

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.
