  • thank you so much, I hope we found her! for now I'm checking all shelters around and keep putting fliers everywhere….I got a feeling somebody is keeping her, she is too cute...

  • Good luck with your search, hope she finds her way back to you.

  • I feel so bad for you and this situation. Hopefully if you fed her, she will remember you when she's hungry. Did she seem to bond to one of your dogs????? Take your dogs for a long walk, or better yet, with you in the car as you drive around. Get out intermittantly and walk your dogs in concentric circles. If she is out there, she may come over to you, don't call her, let her walk over to you and somehow without quick movements get her to the car???? I had Uzie for two or three days here, and he got loose-with a collar and leash attached!!! It was real bad! He ran around the wooded area for hours, once or twice coming back to the house, but would run if I went towards him. I put Candi on a leash and he came over, and I jumped on the leash like a rugby player!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can only hope and pray for her and you and for a return to your home!

    Thank you Buddys-Pal! I walk with my other dogs everyday and we still looking for Marta everywhere, I check all shelters around and put flyers but I got a feeling someone has her.

  • You need to contact all veterinary and shelters and rescues. That way if she turns up, someone will know. Also, churches and day care places. Children may spot her faster than adults so having them look helps… say if a neighbor found and decided to keep her.

  • We called all vets around us, shelters as well, churches and day care is great idea! Thank you!!!

  • I was just reading a magazine my vet's office distributes and there was an article from a DVM who suggested all the above alone with "never give up", and surfing the web for lost pet websites, local people (trainers maybe? or rescues/shelters?) that will post a picture of her on their websites, posting pics-grocery stores, and walking the neighbor hood as many dogs are found close to home, Local media, flyers everywhere and post 'found is critical'! Gosh, don't give up, and knock on those doors if you feel someone has her! Was she chipped and had your updated info?

    When we adopted Marta from rescue I was really surprised she was not chipped, we had her for couple days, I was about to take her vet for check up, I don't give up, someone posted photo on 'sell swap give' of Frisco T X site , the dog looks like Marta, going to check today!

  • Yeah! Hurry and if it her, Oh boy! Tell us how it turns out Helen!

  • Guess who is back home? My trouble maker basenji Marta after was missing for 22 day!!! There are wonderful people who found her and put her photo on " sell swap give of McKinney' site and I got a lot of text messages! I don't know where she was last 20 day since she was found 2 days ago, very scared and thin, she was in the wonderful home for last 2 days, thank you Kimberly, Laurie, Jenna, Elena Black, and all of you for support!

  • Glad she's back, wonder what adventures she had and lucky she found the people who saved her.

    Jolanda and Kaiser

  • I'm happy you have your baby back!

  • oh, i just love a happy ending!

  • I am so, so happy for you!

  • The add was about her, the lady named Regina found Marta 2 days ago and posted a photo on some Texas based site..Some people I never met, call me and text me photo telling me its my dog, because I posted every day on Craigslist , plus I posted on every possible lost dogs in TX webs, someone saw my adds and text me, then another person called me telling this lady found my dog, I live in Plano , she was found far away in McKinney, 25 min to drive, 12,5 miles, but I believe she run this distance for 2 days, I got a feeling she was in someone house, I had a collar , but she was found without collar, and we had a crazy rain 2 day ago, she is scary of rain and storm, so she did run away, she looks skinny and tired , the family said, she didnt make any sound for 2 days, when she saw me she started yowling ….I could not stop crying, those people are so wonderful, all neighbors come out and were so happy for us!!!!very very nice people I have around!!!!!

  • Aw that made me cry! What nice people!

  • Great example of how your persistence + internet reach really DOES help. I'm so happy for you both.

    Hi @2baroos , the vet has checked for a UTI and she is healthy. I have tried thunder jackets with her and she tears it off with assistance from her companion. I'm afraid she will certainly remove anything we put on her, especially diapers. We're trying to discourage her from peeing in the crate at all. She used to sleep in a cardboard box that she loved and started to completely destroy it once the anxiety started, now she shreds her bedding and pees on it. I know how this must be really upsetting to her and am trying my best to take care of her.

    http://www.dogscouts.org/Protocol_for_relaxation.html good for any dog, and is talked about in Control Unleashed. Also, i'd try sitting down with him and massage him for a few minutes a day and tell him is is NOT going to another house, that you love him, that he's a wonderful dog, but need to learn to behave, etc.

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
