  • I was just reading a magazine my vet's office distributes and there was an article from a DVM who suggested all the above alone with "never give up", and surfing the web for lost pet websites, local people (trainers maybe? or rescues/shelters?) that will post a picture of her on their websites, posting pics-grocery stores, and walking the neighbor hood as many dogs are found close to home, Local media, flyers everywhere and post 'found is critical'! Gosh, don't give up, and knock on those doors if you feel someone has her! Was she chipped and had your updated info?

    When we adopted Marta from rescue I was really surprised she was not chipped, we had her for couple days, I was about to take her vet for check up, I don't give up, someone posted photo on 'sell swap give' of Frisco T X site , the dog looks like Marta, going to check today!

  • Yeah! Hurry and if it her, Oh boy! Tell us how it turns out Helen!

  • Guess who is back home? My trouble maker basenji Marta after was missing for 22 day!!! There are wonderful people who found her and put her photo on " sell swap give of McKinney' site and I got a lot of text messages! I don't know where she was last 20 day since she was found 2 days ago, very scared and thin, she was in the wonderful home for last 2 days, thank you Kimberly, Laurie, Jenna, Elena Black, and all of you for support!

  • The add was about her, the lady named Regina found Marta 2 days ago and posted a photo on some Texas based site..Some people I never met, call me and text me photo telling me its my dog, because I posted every day on Craigslist , plus I posted on every possible lost dogs in TX webs, someone saw my adds and text me, then another person called me telling this lady found my dog, I live in Plano , she was found far away in McKinney, 25 min to drive, 12,5 miles, but I believe she run this distance for 2 days, I got a feeling she was in someone house, I had a collar , but she was found without collar, and we had a crazy rain 2 day ago, she is scary of rain and storm, so she did run away, she looks skinny and tired , the family said, she didnt make any sound for 2 days, when she saw me she started yowling ….I could not stop crying, those people are so wonderful, all neighbors come out and were so happy for us!!!!very very nice people I have around!!!!!

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help

    Although I have no words of advise I do want to commend you for trying your best to give Maddy Keller a chance to have a home. I wish you the best of luck in finding her a new home.
