UPDATE: Basenji "Nano" in MO
-
After all you've been through, I'm really sorry about the outcome. They have no idea what they missed out on by passing you by.
Something about the whole thing sounds awfully fishy to me. I heard of some adoption agencies that end up spinning a "tall tale" when someone offers more money to adopt or an extra "donation" to the facility.
I pray the dog really went to the original owner, but I have my doubts.
-
Ivoss, you have a great point..now when I think about it, it does sounds very fishy…hmm

I thought so too. I sent an e-mail make to them in reply, that I admit, was quite short and rather abrasive. Jennifer let me know that I was absolutely their first choice and that she wishes very much it could have worked out in my favor.
It makes me feel a bit better and there's nothing I can do now; just send positive thoughts and energy that Nano really DID make it to his original home. :-)

Good for you Andrew..positive thought it is..being the better
(hu)man is always better.. -
Sorry this happened to you and the dog. I do think that most dogs do find the final family they are suspose to be with.
It might take some time, and there might be issues, but home is something we all seek, and when its right, we all know. -
Andrew, I'm sorry you weren't able to meet Nano.
Keep your eyes open and you'll find another.I now have three Basenjis and am NEVER going to look at petfinder.com again…;)

I'm sorry things didn't work out.
However, this one is awfully cute if you're still looking

Or if someone is looking for a golden oldie

And this one reminds me so much of my old man, so I know she's a good dog. (My brindle boy has never destroyed anything other than a dog bed and some dog toys and has always from less than a year old, been loose in the house when I go out. That and a bunch of titles like you would not believe.)

And curses to the person who told me through subliminal messages that I need to go look at basenjis on Petfinder.

I clicked on the cite and was flabbergasted! 14 pounds!! She must have been neglected or abused. My first guy barley got over 20 pounds but my understanding is that is a result of treatment for heartworm. Skinny butt he was but lived to 16 years. 14 pounds is just wrong.

Is your B a male? ….. for some reason I thought that was the case... and if so.. you really should be looking for a bitch to add to your pack... If I am wrong about that, sorry... but if not... maybe this was a blessing...
It's not impossible for two basenji males to live together. And actually, the only times Shango has ever had "spats" with other dogs, only twice, they were both female.
