@aspenjane11 - By the way, the breeding listing at www.basenji.org is updated yearly when members renew their membership in the Basenji Club of America. Breeders choose if they want to be listed or not
Anyone know this breeder?

Me too, on both counts.
I've been wracking my brain - -how can I scare up $400 to buy him and turn him over, but….. there's just no way.
I know many of you see and deal with such things regularly, esp. those involved in rescue, but this is the first time I've had one so close and it is B-U-G-G-I-N-G
me that I can't help this dog find a great forever home.:(I would also go crazy when I would know of such a case! Hope the owner will do the right thing!
I'm so happy that it isn't allowed in the Netherlands to sell puppies in petstores.. (not that there aren't puppymills… :mad: )

-
I'll donate to the cause. $50 from me. Anyone else?
-
We just had a friend die and instead of flowers, they requested that a donation be made to a cause relating to animals. So…I'll donate $50 also.

I guess this means we only need $300 more to get this dog out of hock.
After seeing the Oprah show, it's REALLY hard for me to not go out there and start adopting every dog I see. However, I simply don't have the resources at this time but rest assured, when I DO have the resources I'll have a backyard full of B's! I have $50 bucks, though, so I'll happily donate to the cause of getting this dog into BRAT's hands.
-
I'll donate $50 also!
-
Well, don't forget me!! I can kick in $50. So that is $150…but by the time we trickle up to $400, he may be gone....or maybe, just maybe she will have called Sharron back and turned him over!! {fingers and toes all crossed!}
-
we're up to $200 now, right? I think jazzys mom and i posted simultaneously…
-
That's actually $200. We're halfway there.
We have me, TuckerVA

JazzysMomWe have BRAT represented here. Can this person tell us how we can setup a donation link via PayPal for this dog on BasenjiRescue.org somehow? Either that or tell us where to send the checks?
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sharon Hurlbut? Perhaps she can broker the deal with the person selling the dog since she's already contacted them?
It feels good to be DOING.

And you can always call and "offer" the 200 instead of trying to get the entire 400.00, they might be willing to do it for that price
-
I really wish I could help but $50 is a bit steep for me right now. If some sort of account is set up I could probably chip in like $10-15. Sorry it can't be more!
-
Cindy is a BYB.
She sells a sh*t load of puppies all over the country.
Since she is irresponsible and does NOT take her dogs back.
A ton of dogs she bred ended up in Colorado Basenji Rescues.
We are constantly re-homing her dogs here in CO…very frustrating indeed. -

off to slap my own hands....</dripping>

Let me know if you guys set up an account, I can chip in $10 or so, like Nina $50.00 is steep for me right now (My GI Bill is about to run out so I will soon have to start paying for college so I am saving where I can!). Let me know, I would like to help.
-
Ditto for me as well.
-
$10-$15 from me.
-
So we're at $250 or so. Try offering that.
-
Well, I need to know first that there's a way to set this up and actually have money available before even attempting to set up a deal. I mean, what if I call and she accepts the $250, and for whatever reason the money doesn't come through? Not a chance I can afford to take.
I'm going to email Sharron to see if BRAT has a system or can come up with a system. I have a Paypal account, but can't assume that everyone wants to send their money to my private account. I know I'm trustworthy, but let's face it…you all don't.
Let's see if/when I hear from her, and then if it's feasible, we can call and make the offer. -
I have paypal also. Perhaps we can use the brat paypal donation link and just specify what it is for. I think Paypal allows you to make some notes when you submit a payment. At least I'm pretty sure it can be setup that way.
All we need to know is where to send the money.

I've emailed Sharron and hope to hear something very soon!
I'd really love to see this happen.
