Found: Black and White in Reno, NV


  • I was contacted this morning by a very nice woman in Reno, NV who had found a young black and white basenji in Sparks. She estimates her age to be between 5-6 months old and she was found running on the streets with nothing but a black buckle collar. She took her in to check for a microchip and there was none and no ID tags on the collar.

    If anyone has lost a basenji in the Reno/Sparks area or recognizes this girl please let me know and I can give you the woman's email address. I put her in touch with Sharron so she will be getting assistance from BRAT if no one claims her.

    Terri is the one that gave the woman my phone number.


  • This b has her dew claws, fyi.


  • I don't have anything helpful but just had to say..What a beautiful pup!!! Sure hope she gets back home or finds one soon. So precious!:)


  • Surely someone is out looking for her, is anyone local posting "found" signs and looking for "lost dog" signs? Our local newspaper takes Found ads for free. Also check Craig's List for Lost postings.

    I already looked at craigslist and Kijiji, no luck..
    I sure hope she finds a home, whether it is her old missing home or a new forever home.


  • She is so pretty I do hope she gets back home. At least good news she not on the streets getting hurt or killed and someone will take her love her thats for sure.

    @DolceMomma: Hi all, I got the most wonderful gift tonight…holding my beloved little Spot on my lap and in my arms while he slept. He's home with us at last. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, your prayers, and your help. Thank God for the happy news! I'm sure that Amy is happy to have Mr. Spot back in her arms. I'm so glad to read another story to encourage lost owners to NEVER give up on lost b's! :)

    @Tayda_Lenny: LOL - Yep! Moved to Sacramento in March! I've been kind of MIA on the forums - it's been a crazy few months - got married in June (in Michigan) and have changed jobs TWICE since being here! Just changed my sig and location - so now I'm "officially" in California! :) Thanks, i was wondering why someone in Conn was going to foster a found dog in Cali. Is it strange for you with the water being on the wrong side and all? congrats on your new marriage and new jobs

    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

    <> This is generally considered not good advice for dogs like Basenjis. Unlike other dogs, they are not very forgiving with people that cause them pain. You will likely end up with a dog that becomes fearful of people reaching for his head. Often squeezing a dog's muzzle to alleviate play biting will have the opposite effect as well, as it charges a dog up even more. And FTR, rubbing a dog's face in anything is cruel, and ineffective teaching. Not one, single professional trainer that is up to date on current techniques would advocate that. There are many threads here about working to reduce puppy play biting with Basenjis. Look under the training threads.
