Stolen Basenji

Lost and Found Basenjis
  • Please cross post

    Okay I need help. One of my Basenji puppy buyers had their puppy (15
    months) stolen from their LOCKED vehicle at Summerset Travel Plaza on the Penn.

    turnpike going eastbound. The person that was talking to them before hand was
    driving a Tanker truck from Conneticut. The person was a black male. The
    tanker truck did have a sleeper on it and it was a Mack Vision truck and it was

    Dark blue. This happened on the 1st of April.

    The Basenji is Brindle and white with a distinctive white area in his eye.
    He goes by the name of "Joker". I will attached some pictures of him while
    he was still here. Some where he was 16wks and the others where he was 7
    months. He was placed in his companion home 2 months later.

    The owners are devastated and very worried. He needs to be on a special
    diet.

    Please please please crosspost everywhere you can.

    My home phone is 405-867-1244.

  • My hubby is a truck driver in that area so I called him right away he will keep an eye and let his friends who drive that area know as well. But those pics will help since none of them had heard of a basenji before.

  • Thanks so much, Sherrie. I did get the pics from my friend, (left you a message) but I hope you will contact me privately so I can e-mail them to you. They are bitmap images and I think they're too big to put on the forum. (I still haven't mastered getting pictures on here anyway!

  • Here are the pictures I got today.

    Fingers and paws crossed that he is found and safely returned to his owners!

  • hi Terry
    I sent you my email via your website. I took a pic from the screen of those pictures Kiroja posted and sent one to hubbys phone he can then send it to his friends phone. I also printed out a few pages of those pics to pass out at his work. I hope this has a happy ending

    I'm so sorry to hear this. The Somerset exit on the PA Turnpike is about an hour away from where I live. That is the main highway that people use when going between Pittsburgh and Philly, DC or Baltimore. It is also a major route for interstate drug transport. I hope someone recognizes the dog and returns it to its rightful owners.

  • My son is an over the road trucker running cross country and quite often in the northeast - I will send the picture to him so he can keep his eye open for the stolen dog as well.

  • Any word on this B being spotted or found?

    I heard back from the finder this morning. She says his face looks like Basenji, but his tail is long and straight, not curled. So she thinks he might be a mix. Anyway, she is going to take him in to the vet to check for a microchip, and will hold on to him for the rest of the week. If he isn't claimed, she says she will contact BRAT. Terry

    Did Destro get home? I used the LostMyDoggie.com to place lost pet alert phone calls to 250 of my neighbors. I have not had any luck in finding my Dot yet (she climbed our fence on August 17), but I received several phone calls from people in my area asking about the basenji breed. It offered me some comfort and I knew that there were a lot of people looking for her. I will keep looking for Dot. I have gotten more search ideas from this forum tonight to help me. Please don't give up on Destro. They must be with some good person just out of our reach, so we have to keep looking a little farther away every day.
