2 Basenji boys in Spokane, WA shelter
-
My pleasure - hope BRAT is able to look after them!
-
Just called them. The shelter has worked with me in the past.
They just temperment tested the 2 and feel they can adopt them out.
They did take my phone number and BRAT website to share with any of the new adopters. Also, they had the 2 b's in seperate kennels, and I asked them if they could put them together and they said they would…so, at least they can draw comfort from each other in the run.
I asked them to try to adopt them out together, and they said they had decided to do that.
So, when I get off this site, I am going to send these dogs info to everyone who has a adoption ap in Wa and Id.
Fingers crossed we get one of our folks to go get them.
THANKS again for telling me about these 2 b's. -
We have committed to adding a 2nd B (male) from a local breeder as a companion for our 11yo B girl after losing her brother to liver failure in October. He'll be joining us in March and is a lovely 3yo brindle who our girl has met and only mildly "swore" at : ) I know I shouldn't be looking at the Petfinder site anymore & taking ourselves off the BRAT adoption list, but if a heads up like this helps some B's find a great home, then that makes my day.

I also was worried about the dogs weight, so called the shelter again, and told them about fanconi and strip testing. They did say they have a very on staff and they would pass on the info to the vet.
I think they will…Re posting these dogs to this site...THANK you, I don't have time to look at petfinder and this type of heads up can help me try to help dogs in need.
I did post to all the folks who have BRAT ap's in Wa and Id to tell them about these 2 so fingers crossed they go to a good home, OR they go to a home that will call me. -
Being that thin, I would also pass on info on EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

Darn it Lisa, I didn't think of that! I did call them 2 times this afternoon, they were kind enough to listen to me and write down what I had to say.
I will call them tomorrow…"guess I will be their new best friend"...
They might have prefered to give me these 2 rather than having to deal with me
on the phone! -
Oh, Ms AJ, I always try to be a help to the shelters…and I do call them..often several times a day...laugh, can't help it.
I WANT them to make sure these b's go to the BEST home possible.
Thank heavens they realize I do care about the dogs, and am not trying to tell them
their jobs. -

Got a note from the shelter that they have been placed. Wow, that was fast.
-
Great news, lets hope they have a good forever home. Sharon you do a great job:)
Lighthouse i hope you're going to post some pics when you get you new Basenji. -
Yay! That's great news. Thanks for jumping in with the shelter so quickly Sharron!
-
Good to hear that these dogs are out of there and in a home..
-
Oh, Rita Jean, these dogs went back to the owner. I am not sure this person even notified the shelter about the dogs being missing…and you saw the photos..sigh.
I posted to the shelter to ask them to see if they could get the owner to take them to the vet.
I so hope they do..
Sigh. -
Thank you all for the support. I do so appeciate it.
