Have you had any success with finding out any rescue/adoption information? I am in a similar situation.
Help Needed: Basenji on Craigslist - OR

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

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

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.
please, please, pleasePat

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.

$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 - $50total: $400

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???
-
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.

To tell the whole story on Cesar, you need to point out that Cesar Milan had the financial backing, time, and secured property at his disposal. This allowed him to properly rehab the dogs he took in. Not all the Dogs he has rehabed have worked out, and not all of them were homeless dogs. Cesar Milan made his living working with dogs and it was his primary job when he came to the USA. No disrespect, but Vicki is certainly not Cesar, nor is Vicki operating under the same circumstances.
Here is a quick insight to the life of Cesar Milan, and if you have not read his books or studied them I would highly recommend it.

I also think its unfair to even comment about Brat and this dog unless you know the history. There are reasons for everything. A Dog that Bites with the intent to break the skin that is unprovoked, is considered a dangerous dog even in Vicki's state of Georgia. If I read the statues properly, the owners of dogs like that are required to care a $15,000 liability insurance policy. I do not know if this is something Vicki will face in the future or not with this new Basenji she is taking in.
