  • 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 :)

  • 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! ;-(

  • 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???

  • @TuckerVA:

    Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I'd emailed you directly.:(

    yes, I got your money.Thanks!;)

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

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

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

  • Just sent $25.

  • Thanks Nina and Alex; your contributions are in.

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

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • This is awesome. We should start a sidebar to BRAT where we can do these types of things on a regular basis. I'd certainly like to put money I donate annually to a cause that is 'closer to home' for me - something like this.

    :)

    Otherwise, I'll just send $$$ to Brat!

  • This is great news!

    We are currently working with BRAT (Sharron) on setting up a more formal process for fundraising for these types of events by BF members.

    Please stay tuned for a post from us regarding fundraising.

  • Just a reminder.
    BRAT's donations are all tax deductable.
    I am happy to help with funding for getting basenjis out of the paper…but it won't be a tax deductable donation.
    This is fyi.

  • I hope someone will post a picture of the little guy for us all to see. That would be really great.

    Pat

  • I have never tried to post to this forum, not very good on the computer, but maybe the foster home mom can, and give us updates.
    Its neat, I am excited to help this boy move to his new home.
    I love that feeling.
    Hugs to all of you who helped…

  • If the dog ends up in BRAT's hands, then there will eventually be a picture on the available rescues portion of the site. We'll just need to know his/her name. :)

  • Laugh! Of course.
    I will get you all the info once we see this b.
    I bet we can get photos from the foster home first.. They are computer smart.
    watch this site, you see this b boy here first Laugh.

  • I plan to take my camera and snap photos at pick up. You know I'll have them here by Saturday night!!

    Unless….I forget my camera, which with my mind, is a very real possibility!

    I thought this was "taboo" for this Forum? There are many areas that need fund raising, the Health Endowment for one and also as far as rescue, Medfly is certainly in need of funds. IMO, BRAT gets lots of donations, go look at their financials. You (the adminstration) would not let me post about the girl that MedFly had in southern Ca that needs surgery and they were asking for donations to help her…. That was as needed as you can get and certainly a great cause. I find it a bit hypocritical that if you are going to do fund raising that you are limiting to BRAT

    Please note, I am NOT saying that this is not a good cause.... and glad that people would like to help this boy...

    @debbie said in reputable breeder?: @tanza yes my mistake it was tested with OKC I got papers to prove it.. she was born with the disease Are you referring to OFA? If so then I would wonder if the pup's sire/dam were not the real sire/dam of the pup you got? Only if they are Afflicted with the Fanconi gene (the pup) would they develop Fanconi? Did the paperwork from OFA say "clear"?

    @Channing's_Girl: I bought my pup from Mary Alaniz. She said his parents had been tested. He will be a year old in 5 days. So far no health problems. She was very nice and told me if I have any questions or need advice to contact her. I researched the breed and breeders for over a year before I bought one. I think if the dogs are well bred (in terms of genetics) and are healthy that it is oK if they are not AKC registered, especially if you are not interested in showing and are going to have them fixed anyways. Also, her dogs are pets to her, not just a dollar sign, she seems to really care about them, they live in her house, unlike some breeders who keep dogs in kennels. Good to hear. I bought my Basenji from her a couple years back as well. I got the runt of that litter (the last one left) but she's doing just fine.
  • Anyone know about microchipping/tattooing?

    @listeme: Knowing how fast technology changes and improves, I'd be hesitant to sign up for a program like this if I weren't going to be using it in a couple of years or less. Remember VCRs? Cassette tapes? Telephones that attach to walls? :D lol. ya i suppose you all are right. At first i thought about it, but i dont know. I guess its still a good thing if you have to do more than one chip in a dog. and i think they said the microchips are good forever (whether thats possible or not) I guess its still worth it for me, IMO. Since rescue and my personal dogs. I can use that amount of chips (in rescue) within a year or two. So…i think its a good deal. Whether it is or not...

    @Nemo: Here's the link. http://www.basenji.org/learn/ Go to "screening breeders" at the top. That is a great list…and great explanations of why those questions are important.

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
