Urgent: Maddie needs a Home or a Foster


  • This girl is scheduled for euthanasia 7/25

    Maddie is an 8 month old, red & white female mix who was owner surrendered because she was "too wild" (typical). This is a very sweet little dog who gets along with dogs and cats, is housetrained and vaccinated; she hasn't made a sound since being at the shelter. The shelter worker really likes her but they are NOT a no kill shelter and will euthanise for space.

    BRAT was contacted in the hope that we can assist in saving the following Basenji mix. Unfortunately BRAT does not have enough foster homes to take in the Basenji mixes but BRAT does not like having to turn away perfectly adoptable animals so I am posting this dog here in case any one of you can step up to the plate.

    Contact the shelter, and Joanne Free, ASAP if interested in this dog. By adopting or fostering this girl you are truly saving her life. A reasonable distance transport could possibly be arranged if you are wanting to adopt or foster but are out of state. Let me know.

    She is at the Johnson City Animal Shelter in Johnson City, TN.

  • Thank you so much for posting this.
    One never knows when a face will touch someone and a new home will be found.


  • She is a cute dog, hopefully someone can help soon!


  • I was informed that Maddie is gone from the shelter, but the person who answered the phone didn't know what happened to her. Hannah (who is usually the person I spoke with) is off today. I am hoping that someone either adopted her or took her into rescue, I'm sure that's the case. Thank you all for offering to help, sadly, there'll be more.

    ps I just learned that she was adopted!


  • That's wonderful!

  • Yes, we can't save them all, but the ones we can…well YEA!!!!!!!!!


  • I'm so glad; she has such a wistful quality about her in that pic

    Please consider fostering-it is joy to help a Basenji! I have fostered two in the last few years-one a young Basenji who had pups at a shelter and an elderly female whose owners were going into an assisted care facility and were going to have her euthanized within a few days if not rescued. The elderly girl lived a few more years-just shy of her 17th birthday. She had never lived with other dogs before and she was fine with my pack-but my dogs knew that she was older and wanted to be left alone. She was spunky though and would nip at them if they got out of line! If I was not having health problems, I would foster one! Jennifer

    I have no idea where the dog went to, but maybe someone on here does. I heard about your car accident long after and am just glad you are okay. (( hugs ))

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.
