I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.

I just used Continental with Moses, and I have to say I recommend them very much..very curtious and helpful airport staff, needless to say I don't know how his flight was, but he was very good and happy when we met him..
I have used American Airlines in the past, but their delays sometimes make for a harder then not trip. -
I wish I was in Oregon with a load to Georgia right now…I'd crate him up and bring him to you.

Members of this forum saved a basenji before. Remember "Harley the forum basenji"?

I contacted Kathy (Khanis) via email and this was her response:
"_Good Morning Pat,
It is great of you to offer to help. No one has donated anything yet, so we haven't raised any $$.
I have the gal holding this boy until Tuesday for me [had to make up some dumb sob story] since I couldn't get him in for a vet check before then, and then I was hoping we would have raised enough $$ that I could get him on the plane!Any bit will help, but don't over-extend yourself. You can send it to my Paypal account: bennyburnerbono@aol.com. If you need a name [can't remember how it works] it would be Kathryn Britton.
Thank you so much… and Kumba will thank you too!
Kathy_"
I sent her a good contribution via PayPal but I can't begin to pay for the whole flight. I hope someone else can help out. Hint! Hint! Hint!
It sounds like the clock is ticking on how long she can get them to hold on to this dog.Pat

I sent some money too, I hope I did it right, Kathy, let me know if you do not get a paypal gift from me, so I can fix what I wronged..;)

Vicki,
You really are an inspiration. I can't donate right now, because my purse got stolen, and I don't have the new cards yet. If I get them before Tuesday, I will update my paypal and kick a few bucks your way. Otherwise I hope my good thoughts and prayers will do for now.
Vicki, when I said before that if he couldn't find the right type of person to help him deal with his demons, it would be kindest to put him down, you were exactly the type of person I meant.
My Katie came to us as aKatrina rescue , with a lot of Demons. She is a wonderful, sweet, loving, fun girl now, but it took a lot of time, and energy. I am sure you understand exactly what I mean. I love my Katie with all of my heart, but in the wrong home, her life would have been miserable, and she would have been potentially dangerous. I am so happy this B boy has achance to go to the the right type of home.

From my Basenji's to you, I hope our little bit helps Kathy. Keep us updated on how much more you need.
Dawn, Katie, and Tyler

Are we getting close to the amount needed to ship the poor little guy? I hope so.

Pat, when you come to your mountain cabin, I'm anxious to meet you. Michaelee's Chocolate Cafe?
In lastnight's email from Kathy, she said we have received $250. We're getting there!
Bless all of you for helping.
Yum!! Sounds good. We'll be there over Thanksgiving but that will probably be hectic. We'll give you a call. Maybe we can at least meet your crew of dogs if you aren't going away for the holiday. We also plan to go up after Christmas to close it up for the winter.
I hope 5 good hearted souls can come up with $10 apiece, or 2 with $25 or 1 with $50.
please, please, pleasePat

I can give you the $50, but how do I use Paypal???

@AJs:

Yay!
Just set up an account with paypal.com with your credit card. There is an earlier post on this thread with Kathy (Khanis) email address. Just follow directions and make the payment to Kathy's email address. It will be charged to your credit card. There is a few dollars charge for this type of transaction but it wasn't much.
Believe me…if I can figure it out, anyone can! Note that I haven't even been able to figure out how to post many pictures on here.

$50.00 was a $1.57 transaction charge. Worth every penny:)

Got it! You should have it too. I mean I sent some and got it through.

Let's do a quick count. Here is what I see so far from this thread. It is important that everyone posts the contribuiton amount however large or small to make sure everything goes well with the donations collection.
Alex and Vanessa - $100
Snorky88 - $50
AJs Human - $50
BasenjiDiva - $100
BasenjiMamma - $50
Nemo - $50total: $400

I sent $50.

We hit $400… yeah!
I already have a vet appointment set for Wednesday morning.
My vet rocks more than any other vet!
They doubled and will have me in there during their surgery hours because I didn't want to leave him there in a kennel while I was in school.
I will get him a kennel before I pick him up, so he will be well-cared for!
Since we don't have any knowledge on his history,
I will get the fanconi test ordered too.Thanks everyone for pitching in and giving this boy a chance to be with a basenji family.
I imagine life with the rat terriers is kind of EWWWWWWWWW.
Apparently the 10yo basenji finds him annoying [well that is a DUH! moment].I'll update when I get him next week.

Although I see you have met your goal, I have contributed $25. I'm sure you can always use it for food or other supplies to get the dog settled in it's new home.
