Anyone know this breeder?

I just started reading this thread…do you have enough money lined up? If not, I'll chip in the difference to make it happen. On other lists I have been on, people have just put $10 or $20 bill in an envelope and sent it to a total stranger on occasion to help a dog. I don't know of any time it was a scam, just people chipping in a bit when they can to help someone with a need. In this case, getting a nice dog into a new family instead of the pound. Good for you all for getting this rolling!

I'm waiting to hear back from Sharron {BRAT} before moving forward.

You guys are all awesome,though, for jumping on this!

Hi all.
I just got back into town.
I know BRAT does not "buy"dogs, so paying for this dog will have to be done by folks who care what happens to him. It can't be BRAT related.
I will take him into BRAT's care once he has been screened by a foster home.
So he does have a place to go.
So, its a matter of discussing this with this "owner" to see what price she will sell him at.
Now, I did send her all the BRAT info and the fees we charge to adopt b's out to folks.
She wouldn't turn him over, so I asked her to take my info and give it to the next family so they could contact me when they had basenji issues.
I need to get up to speed re this being still availible.
You all can send funds where you wish, if someone has a pay pal acct, that would probably be best.
I will catch up this weekend.

I just realized how stupid that above post was.
SIGH!
Yes, BRAT does buy puppymill dogs with the board approval but that is a case by case thing and not done as a matter of course.
This boy, if he is still not sold will have to be done by private members who care about this boys future.
I just felt I needed to post this so we are clear this is a nice group of folks who are donating to this boys fees and not a BRAT project.
Hugs to you all.

Okay, we're set up to go with this boy . . . I have recieved $150.00 thus far into my paypay account.

For those of you who offered to donate, you can donate through PayPal to the email address darrenturner@wavecable.com.

I know I should have held off until I had all funds on hand, but I was also working on my friend's schedule, and she's out of town quite a bit..

Can I get a quick recount of those who intend to donate?

[BasenjiDiva]

I've sent money via Paypal. Hopefully you've heard from them by now.

Yes, Pat, thanks. I've just gotten notification! :D

[Tayda_Lenny]

I have sent money via paypal also…

[gbroxon]

As have I, and I've received your confirmation e-mail, JazzysMom.

Crossing my fingers that all goes as planned!

[Ninabeana26]

I plan on sending money tomorrow while at work. Although only expect $10 from me. I wish it could be more. Hopefully other people will pull through though so we can save this baby :)

[JazzysMom]

Every penny helps, so we all appreciate every contribution.

PayPal is up to $240, so we're getting there!

I'm getting excited….almost as if I'm bringing this little boy home w/me, LOL, but dh has made it quite clear that I am not! ;-(

[sharronhurlbut]

I have to say that you all are wonderful.
We have the foster home set up for next sat, that is the day of "sale".
I am hopeful we can post some photos soon and give a nice report of this b's temperment.
Hugs to you all.
THANK YOU!

I sent money as well. I presume it was received. I got confirmation from PayPal that it was sent, but nothing else???

[Alex]

How much more money is needed? Vanessa and I would like to contribute.

[JazzysMom]

Well, I have $240 now, and am expecting $35 more tomorrow….

So, that'd leave $25 still needed to hit the full $300.

[Alex]

Just sent $25.

[JazzysMom]

Thanks Nina and Alex; your contributions are in.

Now, to get the gal to pin point a time…..

[sharronhurlbut]

We are still set up for this coming sat.
I have someone who will do a short term foster until Lisa, the long term if needed, foster is back into town.
JoNell, if your folks are all set, we are!

[JazzysMom]

We are a go for this Saturday afternoon!

I'm taking Keoki and/or Jazz to see how they interact. Hopefully, they'll play well together.
I'm excited!
