Basenji Rescue

  • Thanks for this post. I am sorry more are pg than reported…sigh.
    Breaks my heart they are is such rough shape, but its it wonderful they will be taken care of, fixed and rehomed to humans who will be their slaves.
    Hugs and love to everyone who has worked to make this so...

    Well, it's just an semi-educated guess based on their appearances. It may or may not prove to be correct. We got the vet there today though, so everybody will get weighed, and then we should be able to more easily monitor the suspect females.

    I wonder if the make doggie prego test kits?:o

    Breeders sure wish they did…... but the answer is no... they don't


  • How long will it take to tell if the dogs are pregnant?

    They can do ultrasound at 21 days…..


  • That will show how many pups and how far along they are yes?
    Not having done any breeding, this is all new to me.
    Thanks Pat for the info

    Depending on how good the person is at doing ultrasound they can tell about how many… usually pretty close... exactly how far along... not really... unless a Vet that is really up on doing/reading ultrasounds..... also vets can palpate bitches... and at least know if they are in whelp...


  • The vet says that one is prego, and ready to go, and two others might be pregnant.

    I went back last night, and helped feed, and clean kennels. All of the dogs had a bath except for two. A brindle female was being extremely fearful, and one of the males was about the same. We'll see if they warm up today, and when/if they do, they will get their baths too.

    Those 4 seven-month old tris are soooo cute.


  • I know how busy you all are, but I would love to see some photos when you get them.
    Hugs and hugs for doing this.
    Are you keeping one?


  • Kudos to those involved for removing all these dogs from the endless breeding cycle of puppy mills. I am sending positive vibes that most will be adoptable.

    Will the females who are determined to be in very early stages of pregnancy be spayed immediately?


  • That I do not know.

    Sharron, I'm having problems with my camera/computer, or I would already have them up!

    I'm working on it though…promise.;)


  • I know how busy you are.
    I can't tell you all how much I admire you all dropping your lives to help these dogs.
    YOU ALL ROCK!


  • Big THANKS to all the people involved in rescuing these pups - the thought of what might have happened is just too scary to contemplate.

    I wish I could help with fostering (but I'm leaving for Europe in a few weeks) especially since I could just picture them needing love and care.


  • I went to see the remaining SD dogs yesterday and help get two to Suzanne in Mi for fostering.
    The dogs broke my heart but also made me happy to know that their "good life" is getting ready to start.
    I took Zena and Zora from Mattoon back to Indiana and they are just sweethearts.
    I have never seen such a skinny girl as Zena, I just wanted to keep her and feed and love on her. They were both shy, scared, and a bit nervous- as can be expected.
    I think both will make wonderful turnarounds and just flourish. They did enjoy being loved on once they got used to it a bit, so there is tons of hope for these two girls.
    Thanks to Suzanne Sarlls for taking these sweet girls and Liz for her amazing organization abilities :)
    It was great to be part of getting these dogs to the good life.


  • Christy, do send photos when you can.
    How old are these 2 girls?
    Are they the pg ones?
    Sharron


  • Is Zena the brindle girl? She was one of the toughest, I believe. That poor girl was soooo scared.

    She would not be one of the prego chicas.


  • Toughest as it damaged, scared?
    Thanks so much for all you folks have done for these b's.


  • She was one of the toughest to handle.


  • Its good she has a kind basenji smart home to go to then.
    She will figure out quickly that people and being inside is a good thing.

    Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.

    Yes, they are as I got my current Basenji there last year. They just don't get around to updating their site because they're so busy. You have to email Karen Jones and she will let you know what's current.

    I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.

    Your very welcome…I hope you have a good time. The thing to remember, if you get a jerk who comes by, is to be polite and just listen to them. They really don't care what you have to say, just want to vent and see a reaction. I always smile, say, oh, I am so sorry you had that happen to you...and then just get busy talking to someone else. BUT mostly its just good fun with very nice folks who want to talk dogs.
