Missing B in Texas
-
No, Juan has not been found, nor any sign of him. It has been nearly a year. We just hope that someone took him in and decided to keep him, although that's a hard thing to accept too. Not as hard as thinking he was hit by a car or some other horrible accident. Juan was microchipped, had no dewclaws, and was much older than the one found in Spring. (9 years old) Our daughter still can't face getting another dog. She says she just keeps thinking she'll come home from work and he'll be sitting on the front porch.

Terry, that really breaks my heart. I am so sorry for you and your daughter..I am with her..one day he might show up and be sitting on her front door step..

Have you tried contacting or visiting vets in the area? I know there are a lot of vets in the Houston area but I would start with the area near you and spread out. Basenjis are not that common and perhaps by now the possible new owner would have taken him to one. Of course, the vet clinic might not know it is a Basenji but perhaps a Terrier Mix. Dr. Tracy in Dayton, OH has a bulletin board of lost/found pets in her office.
I would contact shelters and larger rescue groups also. I would start with the larger ones. All of our shelters in the Dayton, OH area also have a lost/found bulletin board and/or keep a listing of lost/found pets.
Which microchip service do you use?

There is a rescued basenji in St Louis, which is far from Texas, but you never know…. here is a picture:

Do you have a picture of your lost dog?

Although I wouldn't put it past a Basenji to get that far, it's not our Juan. Juan is 9 1/2 years old (turning 10 in December), already neutered, and microchipped.
I really wish it was him….

Well, as crazy as it sounds, don't give up hope….I hope someone is looking for this cutie. (Perhaps your daughter can give him a foster home? No one wants this pup.)
Can you post a picture of Juan??
-
I will try. I've been singularly unsuccessful at uploading pictures, even though I follow all the directions!! (which is why I don't even have a profile pic)

Terry- Is your picture size too big? You may have to re-size it to be smaller than 100 x 100 pixels.
To upload the photo into a reply, use the paper clip icon (versus the picture one), so you can browse onto your own computer and select the picture. Good luck.

Not sure - I keep getting a message that it can't do it because a security token is missing. It tells me to contact the administrator, which I attempt to do, but then it won't do that either!

Terry,
I get the exact same message..so I gave up..I use photobucket, a few more steps but way less frustration..;)
How was your weekend? Did the kiddos do well? -
