Help Needed: Basenji on Craigslist - OR

Locked Basenji Rescue
  • Vicki,

    You really are an inspiration. I can't donate right now, because my purse got stolen, and I don't have the new cards yet. If I get them before Tuesday, I will update my paypal and kick a few bucks your way. Otherwise I hope my good thoughts and prayers will do for now.

    Vicki, when I said before that if he couldn't find the right type of person to help him deal with his demons, it would be kindest to put him down, you were exactly the type of person I meant.

    My Katie came to us as aKatrina rescue , with a lot of Demons. She is a wonderful, sweet, loving, fun girl now, but it took a lot of time, and energy. I am sure you understand exactly what I mean. I love my Katie with all of my heart, but in the wrong home, her life would have been miserable, and she would have been potentially dangerous. I am so happy this B boy has achance to go to the the right type of home.

    -Nicole

  • From my Basenji's to you, I hope our little bit helps Kathy. Keep us updated on how much more you need.

    Dawn, Katie, and Tyler

  • Are we getting close to the amount needed to ship the poor little guy? I hope so.

    Pat

  • @Vicki:

    Pat, when you come to your mountain cabin, I'm anxious to meet you. Michaelee's Chocolate Cafe?

    In lastnight's email from Kathy, she said we have received $250. We're getting there!

    Bless all of you for helping.

    Yum!! Sounds good. We'll be there over Thanksgiving but that will probably be hectic. We'll give you a call. Maybe we can at least meet your crew of dogs if you aren't going away for the holiday. We also plan to go up after Christmas to close it up for the winter.

    I hope 5 good hearted souls can come up with $10 apiece, or 2 with $25 or 1 with $50. :D please, please, please

    Pat

  • I can give you the $50, but how do I use Paypal???

  • @AJs:

    I can give you the $50, but how do I use Paypal???

    Yay!

    Just set up an account with paypal.com with your credit card. There is an earlier post on this thread with Kathy (Khanis) email address. Just follow directions and make the payment to Kathy's email address. It will be charged to your credit card. There is a few dollars charge for this type of transaction but it wasn't much.

    Believe me…if I can figure it out, anyone can! Note that I haven't even been able to figure out how to post many pictures on here. :D

  • $50.00 was a $1.57 transaction charge. Worth every penny:)

  • Got it! You should have it too. I mean I sent some and got it through. :)

  • Let's do a quick count. Here is what I see so far from this thread. It is important that everyone posts the contribuiton amount however large or small to make sure everything goes well with the donations collection.

    Alex and Vanessa - $100
    Snorky88 - $50
    AJs Human - $50
    BasenjiDiva - $100
    BasenjiMamma - $50
    Nemo - $50

    total: $400

  • I sent $50.

  • I sent $50.00 as well.
    I sure hope she got it, Pypal says it went through..

  • We hit $400… yeah!
    I already have a vet appointment set for Wednesday morning.
    My vet rocks more than any other vet!
    They doubled and will have me in there during their surgery hours because I didn't want to leave him there in a kennel while I was in school.
    I will get him a kennel before I pick him up, so he will be well-cared for!
    Since we don't have any knowledge on his history,
    I will get the fanconi test ordered too.

    Thanks everyone for pitching in and giving this boy a chance to be with a basenji family.
    I imagine life with the rat terriers is kind of EWWWWWWWWW.
    Apparently the 10yo basenji finds him annoying [well that is a DUH! moment].

    I'll update when I get him next week.

  • Although I see you have met your goal, I have contributed $25. I'm sure you can always use it for food or other supplies to get the dog settled in it's new home. :)

  • WOW, I am so excited for him…thank you all for helping him out..that felt good and I know he will feel it too..
    Kathy and Vicki, you are angels on earth helping this poor pup out..Thank you

  • Great area! Please keep us posted on the progress.

  • Hey, ladies….what's our progress on this boy???:cool:

  • I am not trying to put a "damper" on this… but Vicki you have 8 dogs already... is it really wise to take another?.... do you plan on working with any of them and then finding them new homes?

  • Tanza, nobody else was willing to step up for this boy, not even BRAT. Granted, he has a history with BRAT, but I say give Vicki a chance. I'm sure she knows what she can handle. Maybe being around a bunch of other misfits is what will be good for him. The other dogs may be the ones to rehabilitate him.

    Cesar Milan uses his considerable pack of dogs to rehab others a lot.

  • Yep!:D I've been paying attention to their history as you write about them.;)

    'Sok, though…I'm a misfit too. :cool:

    It says it was posted a month ago - no way someone wouldn't have already picked him up.

    Folks, If you are unsure whether a particular thread content violates forum guidelines just email admin@basenjiforums.com and we will take it from there. To protect our forum members and ourselves we encourage rescue organizations and individuals to please send us a private message to admin@basenjiforums.com before posting ANY donation solicitations, fundraiser ideas or any Basenji Forums community related commercial activity involving money collection. Fundraising introduces unnecessary complexity and liability for Basenji Forums Staff, so we are very strict and sensitive about this subject regardless how long a particular member has been on the forum. Too many people get scammed into donating for various non existing causes and money gets stolen from honest good meaning folks on the internet all the time. When that happens operators of internet resources that host the donation solicitation inadvertently become part of the legal proceedings by people who are upset about their money being stolen for facilitating the theft. We have no desire or disposable funds to participate in that. We provide this resource free of charge to Basenji owners community. In return we ask our members to respect our rules and guidelines. Thank you, Regards, BF Staff

    He sounds like a very sociable youngster who would like having a basenji pal. I can't imagine having just 1, most really seem happier having a buddy. And while it may not be all roses for the first few weeks, after 3 or 4 months they will probably be inseparable. Good luck! Anne in Tampa

    That's what I was guessing, Jannie, but I didn't remember your name, just Gracie and Roxie's. Must be all those years of being known as "Gena's (or one of the other kids') Mom" and knowing other mothers the same way. :p I'll let you know as soon as I talk to Laura today what's up. Thanks again, Alex. I know we've had issued with bots and trolls, so I understand not recommending posting email addresses.
