Stolen B in Atlanta, GA

Lost and Found Basenjis
  • One thing I keep meaning to do for Tayda is get a tag that says "NEEDS MEDICATION" so that just in case she gets out and someone finds her, it might make them call me rather than just keep her if they were tempted. My phone number, my vets phone number and the microchip company phone number are all on her tags so its not like there would be any lack of contact info. You'd never know it by looking at her that she has any kind of ailment…

    I actually think I'll do it for Lenny also - can't hurt. I think the kind of people who would not give back a dog to their rightful owner may also be the kind of people that wouldn't want to deal w/ a dog w/ special needs.

  • Good idea, although I wonder, in this case, if the robbers even took time to look at the tags, or just ripped em off and ran.

    The whole thing is just terrible…..

  • I read somewhere to write REWARD on their collar tags with your # instead of writing their names. That way money motivated crooks are more likely to call if they find the animal, and they will not know the name of the dog, which might mean slower/no bonding with the dog. I of course have my dogs names on the tags, but I wonder if I should change that.

  • All our tags say "reward", but I agree with Catt, we have always joked it would be the "Ransom of Red Chief", one of my favorite O. Henry stories.

    On a serious note, Let's hope that ads in the 'lost column' of the paper and Craig's list, and hopefully media articles in the paper, will bring the thieves hoping to sell him back.

    When a local basenji escaped here during a robbery, lots of posters all over, and 2 or 3 media articles helped the folks who found him get him back to his family. Fingers crossed that this basenji finds his way home too. I would be devastated.

  • Good news! BRAT just sent out a twitter message that says Woody has been recovered and is back with his owner. No details yet on what happened but it's good to know he is safe and home.

  • Apparently the Burglars let him out to roam and animal control picked him up. Very good news indeed.

  • That is awesome news. I guess the good thing about having a B is that if it were to get stolen or picked up…most people would go nuts over their "behavior" and possibly/hopefully let them go.. I am glad Woody is were he belongs.

  • Yay - happy happy day!

  • Thank goodness!

  • That is great have a super day have lots and lots of fun.

    Great ad - she certainly knows how to set everyone straight. So glad she found that B and will be sure it gets a good home. She's right, some people are a$$holes.

    There was just a break in in a home about 45 minutes away from where I live and they stole 2 five week old whippet puppies..horrible. Why would anybody do that..so far they have not been found and this was a few days ago. Thye also took some video games and such, so they think the burglars were kids….

    @sharronhurlbut: Does she have dew claws? yep. Sure does. I am going out sometime today or tonight and getting pictures and doing the evaluation. I will post her pic when I get back.
