Keith is a wonderful helper to any basenji in need.
I so hope this report continues and these girls are happy.
Hugs to everyone involved in this.

Hello my name is Tiffany and I was out playing around on google and came across the thread on Foxy and Cami and I noticed there was a post wondering what had happened with them. Good news I adopted them and let me tell you they are SPOILED!!!!!!!!!! They are wonderful and happy and I do not see how any one could ever classify them as being mean dogs because they are far from. When playing if they bite too hard the magic word is "ow" and they stop immediately. They are very gentle natured and act like they are puppies about 95% of the time…..

What a wonderful post to recieve on New Years Day.
Thank you for giving these 2 dogs a great home.

Hi Tiffany, so glad you joined and it's wonderful to hear that Foxy and Cami are doing so well, please update us with pictures.

Thanks for posting Tiffany - while I posted that they had a new home - I didn't include your personal information - I do try to respect peoples privacy. You will find a wonderful bunch of supporters here and if you read the full thread on Foxy and Cami and the wonderful heartfelt responses from folks you will know that you already start here with a jewel in the crown so to speak.

I have read the forum and it is wonderful to know that so many people were out there supporting Foxy and Cami. The biggest update I can provide is that Cami is now fine with my kids and will allow them to approach her, she does have her moments, but, dont we all?
When they first came to us Foxy had no problem asking for loves, Miss. Cami on the other hand would not ask for love as I believe she was afraid to. That is no longer the case Cami is now what I believe to be the biggest baby and my goodness talk about a bed hog, lol. We love them dearly!

We recently had an incident with a neighbor abandoning 3 dogs and 2 cats. They were called in to the animal shelter but for some reason or another animal shelter came out and tried to take Foxy and Cami. We have a gated yard and they were out doing their business so they thought they were the dogs they were after. I heard someone calling to them to come to the fence, I dont think I have ran through my house so fast in my life. Good girls came inside and would not go to the mean dog catcher :). The dog catcher recieved a few choice words and a call to her supervisor.

Happy New Year to you and I will post some pictures of them…. as soon as I have this all figured out.. lol

Thanks again for taking in those two lucky dogs! It's always so nice to hear the happy endings.

Your other story struck me –- the animal shelter employee was trying to catch dogs that were INSIDE a fenced yard of an occupied home? Or did I miss something?

[TCassidy]

Nope you did not miss something there. They thought because Foxy and Cami were outside that they were the ones that they were out for. Which struck me too because they were inside a fence and our front door was open… Does not make much sense does it?

Yeah, that's where I'd look first for abandoned pets…. right there in someone's fenced yard.

I'm thinking someone's either none too bright, or looking for an easy way to get their job "done". Lucky you were able to hear her out there.

Wonderful and thanks for joining the list and letting us all know how they are getting on…. You sound like a perfect Basenji "parent".... again thanks...

[felakuti]

I am so happy that you adopted those two. what a wonder basenji person you are. thank you for giving them a forever home.

I am so glad Foxy and Cami have such a good and loving home. The whole thing was so awful, though their former owner must miss them terribly, knowing they are loved and safe now surely be a huge comfort.
Hooray for you, for rescuing 2 good girls.
