14 yr old senior in SoCal needs a home

Basenji Rescue
  • I just received this info from So Cal Basenji Rescue–this poor little 14 yr old needs a home:

    This little basenji mix girl is currently at the East Valley Shelter on Vanown in Van Nuys. Her owner died and there was nobody to take her. She was born 10/10/1993 and has been at the shelter since 12/21/07. Her name is Trixie, she is in kennel #9 and her id number is A128894. She is spayed and a sweetheart. She is in a kennel with other dogs and seems not to have any issues with them.

    If you can help this baby out or know of anyone who can please contact the shelter and let them know. She was a one owner dog until the owners death.

  • I just read on another list that a home has been found, and a 'hold' has been put on her, to be picked up very soon. Hooray!

  • Oh yay! This story really struck my heart; poor old girl. I'm glad she may have found her new forever home!

    That is wonderful news. Do you know if it's definite and where she'll be going?

    It is, but they are still looking for transportation as the person that is taking her is up in the Redding Ca area… she takes "elders" many times and has the room that they can live out the rest of their years with peace and happiness.

    I heard from Karen at SoCal Basenji Rescue that they have little Trixie at their shelter, and transportation has been arranged to get her up to Redding. I'm so glad she found a home so quickly. I can't imagine what it must be like to be without a home at that age…..

  • Oh yay - happy days!

    I looked for this dog under another rescue group and that is why I could not find him! He looks like a Shepherd mix to me. Jennifer

    I'm so glad that those girls ended up with such a good home, lucky them, and lucky you too! I really like the dark brindle one, I'd inquired about her, so I'm happy you have her. Now I know where she is. @avdpierre: Now I just need to find names….their names are Shotgun (not a girls name) and Bella. I would really like African names. My last B was Sundiata Ngoma Kibushi. He was the best B ever! I like the name Shotgun, though it may be better suited for a sporting dog, and as for it not being a girl's name, who sez? If it were me, I'd be keeping the name Shotgun, Bella? that would be the name I'd be changing.

    @sharronhurlbut: Nemo, BRAT will take him, but lets see if the owner will turn him over to BRAT first. Bless your heart for the offer. He's not asking for much, so hopefully there is a good chance of that. I think he just wants the dog off his hands.

    I want a tri so bad. He is a beautiful boy was he on there before he seems familiar. I view bratt every day several times a day. The other that facinates me is tut he is so different but beautiful. I wish hubby was with me on fostering I would love to do that.
