I'm sure this has already been forwarded to basenjirescue.org but I sent it again just in case as well as posted this on their Facebook page. Hopefully someone can help this guy out. I can help with transport if needed. 🙂

Brat has an underground railroad listed on their web site!

Vicki - if you contact me soon on the 13th I can get him from MN to KC MO. It will be tight and timing is everything as I'm on the fly and not sure what time I'm leaving MN south.
I can't really have him hotel with me as I just plain have too many dogs that have to get into the cool but I can get him that far on that day if it helps you out any.

If anyone on this list knows who Viki is or how to reach her I have offered the beginning of transport but have not heard from here - if you know how else to reach her - please ask her to contact me ASAP so I can make plans and re-arrange the stuff I'm taking out of town.

Hello! I'm here.
Diane and Rita you can contact me at razzcinn at aol dot com. We can exchange information and telephone numbers.
You are both wonderful. Whew…I've been so worried about transportation.
I'll look at the map. How far is KC to St. Louis?I'll be traveling from Blairsville, GA, in the north Georgia mountains near the TN and NC statelines.

For those wondering - we have it worked out so that Rocky will be leaving his foster home and traveling to his new home in GA via KC.
-
Awesome news to hear. I am happy for Rocky an for Vicki…
-
I'm so excited.
Thanks to Diane and Rita, Rocky will be headed for GA mountains on Tuesday a.m. I'm headed for St. Louis on Sunday a.m. I'm taking my old man, Razzle the Eski, for company and to give him a heads up that he will no longer be the only male in the house. I'm confident things will go well. Razz needs to be reassured all the time he is #1. -
Did anyone find out who the breeder of this pup is? I was curious since the kennel Warren was mentioned as that is who my Zippy's, who was Fanconi affected, Hofer Zipper, dam was out of, Warren's Sweet Thing.
If the petstore was PetLand, the pup probably did not come from a local USDA breeder, but from a breeder in MO, KS, OK, etc. If the petstore is a locally owned store, the pup could have come from a local or a nearby state breeder.
Congrats on your new pup! Since Rocky did come from a petstore, I would have the Fanconi DNA test done and also a CERF eye exam. I have had a number of rescue Bs with eye problems and one female was from MN and wound up at a USDA broker/breeder in SD. Some of her pups also had eye problems.

I managed all of three pictures then it wouldn't work anymore, so I feel you pain..

Rocky is home in the North Georgia Mountains. He was greeted by my two Basenji girls and Miss Priss; they immediately started running full speed through the house, around the yard, over the furniture, on the porch, and this went on until they all pooped out. I didn't say "NO" tonight as they were having way too much fun. Rocky gets along well with all the dogs.
Diane and Rita are sweethearts and were so helpful getting Rocky to St. Louis. I fell in love with Rocky immediately. He is a little doll and his foster family taught him good manners!
Rocky was not crated on the way home from IL/MO and he travels well. We were in MO, IL, KY, TN, AL, NC, and GA within the past 48 hours. Amazing road trip! Reminds me why I love the USA so much.
-
Way to go Rocky. Your a super boy in a wonderful new home. Thank you Vicki long travel for your little boy.
