    There is a Basenji (Mix) in need here in Hawaii on my Island. On of my friends went to the shelter to rescue a dog for their family and Called me frantic "Kira, there is a Maverick here!!" I called the shelter and asked about the basenji they had. Hes SO precious! The Poor guy has heart worms so no one will adopt him, he looks so sad in his picture. I did contact BRAT about it, but the shelter said theyre going to be putting him down soon which BLOWS my Mind! I have a home and yard open for fostering Kais until November when Maverick gets here (tho ill ALWAYS have an open door to a B in Need) But Im concerned about how to re-home him! He has his own fund at the shelter for his medical needs, tho I dont mind getting him the care he needs at all! I just dont know what to do and there doesnt seem to be any BRAT contacts in Oahu. I also signed up on BRAT.com to be a Foster Parent. My concern is pressed time. Im going to visit Kais today at the shelter and discuss fostering him with the shelter. Im just hoping Brat gets back to me soon, Kais Needs Us… If anyone has any information that could help Kais and I please let me know! Thank You! Mahalo!

    Did you get any response from BRAT? Anyone in the area who can help??
    The reason I am not able to look it up myself is that I have 2 b's in PNW.
    One 7 mo old, that I am working on today.

    Yes he is a mix, but to my knowledge, BRAT rescues Mixes as well? At least the website says that. No one has contacted me yet, but i did go visit him. Hes a sweet guy and has been there over a month. I talked to the manager and she told me his Heart worm treatment is completely covered by a local vet! So I really dont know why he seems to be un-adoptable :( IM still waiting to hear from BRAT. Im sure theyll call soon!! :)

    Aloha from your Hi BRAT Rep,

    Heartworms is a real problem in Hawaii. Lately, there has also been a real problem with Basenjis showing up in rescue. I picked up Buster K Basenji (3 yo, purebred and microchipped, but dumped nevertheless) at the Hawaiian Humane Society in January. He also had heartworms. He's been treated and has been looking for a home since. Unfortunately, an adult dog is very difficult to place. An adult, mix is almost impossible.

    I still have Leddy, Nicky, Joey, and Merry (out of Jack and Tia) who are now 13-14 year old ladies who still do 3-6 miles per day. The rescues are Dotty, Merlyn, Bob (B-mixes), Martin (? mix), Pippin (? Chi-mix?), and Buster, who brings us up to 10 dogs. That's the city limit and I'm unable to help with the B-mix at the Humane Society. Anyone who fosters in Hawaii should understand, it could be for a long term.

    Someone (local breeders or imports from Australia through PetsCentral) was selling purebred Basenjis for $1000+ and many ended up in rescue (1-2 every other month this spring) about the time they are 9-12 months old. If I can find out who's putting out these dogs that end up in rescue, they'll have hell to pay from me.

    Hi nahele,

    Ive just seen this and I am disturbed to see that some Aussie imports are ending up in Rescue over there, on your beautiful island… Especially if they are going through PetsCentral, (I am presuming this is a pet shop type of thing ???)...

    Im sure our Clubs would like to know about this as would the ANKC, (obviously if this is underhanded Importing, of course :)), so if you need to have an underground Aussie PI (who would love to help...), just let me know :)

    My dogs are secured in crates or the bedroom (Rotties were okay behind a gate, I'd never trust my basenjis with one) if the door is open. Every time, every single time, for my entire adult life. So yeah, dog bolts, the person failed to secure the dog. Unless some person enters if you don't know it, tree falls on house, burglar comes in, police raid your house by mistake etc… if YOU open a door, YOU are responsible, not the dog.

    Dear Basenji Forums Community, I am sure many of you have been wondering what was the outcome of this rescue effort. Well, let us tell you it was unexpected. A rescue mission that was supposed to unite our community to help save a dog turned into a complete opposite and brought us apart. I would like to thank everyone who stepped in to help and put their time and money to attempt to save this dog and offer him a life without neglect. Members who volunteered themselves for this mission had many years of experience with the breed, with both ill-tempered rescues, and those that have been fabulous. They had enough experience to make a determination whether to attempt this or not. While this dog had issues it is imperative to keep in mind he was a just a puppy, and someone was willing to give him a chance. Others may have disagreed on the reasoning for attempting this, but at no time they were given the right to derail this mission and use this forum to publicly attack and discredit members whose only intentions were to help save this dog. As a result of the actions of certain members our whole community suffered: The dog was not saved Forum rules about code of conduct were broken Existing members were publicly offended and discredited New members were exposed to public arguments Our community lost potential member referrals Members had to be suspended from the forum It is really too bad and sad, because we built this community to bring together basenji owners, breeders, and exhibitors throughout the world. To be hopeful that they could help one another and dogs in need. Thank you again for trying to help. All donation have been refunded and no more assistance will be attempted. Which, of course, is unfortunate for the basenji in need. As a last note please remember to review our forums code of conduct and forum rules and to treat others with utmost respect. Like the Basenjis, each of us is unique with our unique character, but our admiration and respect for this breed have brought us together and make us a community. Disregard for our forum community rules will not be tollerated on this forum. Please contact Basenji Forums staff directly at admin@basenjiforums.com if you have any questions or concerns. This thread is closed for public discussion.

    Sometimes as a rescue person, the kindest thing we can advice, or do, is give the dog peace of the rainbow bridge. I have had to do that in the past…thank heavens, not for years. Its never been something I have done lightly, but I have never felt it was a wrong decision. The only decision I could do to give peace to the dog...
