I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.
Medfly Basenji Rescue
-
Is this a legitimate basenji rescue? It's located in California. Other than CBR and BRAT, does anyone know of any other basenji rescue orginizations?
-
Yes, it's legit… I think Nobarkus got Buddy over there and I think he knows them well and may be able to provide you with more info...

I'm finding basenjis on petfinder.com that are from Medfly and when I visit their site, there's no record of the basenji(s) having ever been listed.

Most likely they have not had time to update their site, they are legit and a great rescue source. And they most likely get better results (more response) from petfinder.com

Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.
