Can anyone help this little dog before its too late?

[dmcarty]

Basenji CLub of Northern Ca. BCNOC. BYB = Back yard Breeder.

Any news????? Wish I was closer to Cal. to help out!

[BDawg]

I haven't heard anything…

[dmcarty]

Wasn't there someone from So Cal who was looking for a basenji on this list? Does anyone remember who?

[Jylly18]

I suppose not much can be done on a Sunday, but please let me know if you hear anything! Hopefully they can at least find someone to foster him for awhile until someone decides to adopt him.

I remember… It was Boxman2572 he lives in Burbank CA, he has been saying he wants to adopt a basenji.

[BDawg]

I posted the info on the SOCAL get-together thread… but southern Cali seems a long way away from this little guy. And Boxman was not on that thread. I had emailed Mike Swan (of BRAT) directly so hopefully he'll check his email this morning and get someone on the case. Keep your paws crossed!

If there is an adopter or a foster in So Cal, a BUR run could probably be organized. That would make the drive a bit shorter depending on how many people were willing to participate.

I received a note from Mike Swan, BRAT, that they knew of this basenji and there are plans already for his adoption to happen on Tuesday

[Jylly18]

That's great! Thank you for checking on this…that dog was too adorable to be let go, he looks exactly like my Tosca actually, maybe that is why I felt especially bad for him:) I hope whoever adopts him gives him a great home!

[boxman2572]

if only the dog would have been closer, I could have snatched him up… well its good that they found a possible adoptee.

i'm still looking for one.....

[BDawg]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!!

[Jylly18]

Boxman you could still wait a couple of days in then call, just in case whatever is on Tuesday doesn't work out….good luck and I hope you find a dog soon!

From what I've seen on the BRAT web site (I was checking for several months before I got Tyler and Zoey)–there usually aren't many Bs available in CA (but there is a link to Medfly on their site). And when there is, it seems to be in this same area (Sacramento), and they seem to get snapped up pretty quickly--which is great for the dogs. It is hard to be patient sometimes, but things sure did work out in the end for me--it was like Tyler, Zoey and I were meant to be together.

Yes, there are a couple of BYB's in the Sacramento area and that is usually where they show up for rescue.

Great news everyone my Brother and sister in law just E-mailed me. They were planning to get Benny out and foster… called the shelter early today and Benny has been adopted. He has a family now!
I told them about Benny yesterday when I saw the post BDawg put up because they are not to far from that shelter. I'm so happy he was not put down.
