Basenji in Indianapolis Humane!
-
Hey guys, check out this handsome boy. His name is Manny and he looks like a full-blooded Basenji, boy. You can scroll down the page and see him here:
http://www.indyhumane.org/animals/availabledogs.php
Doesn't have his story listed so I called ASA I saw him on the site. We need to get him outta there! I know Indy Humane and if dogs are there for an extended stay, it really changes their behavior/personality for the worst.
The shelter's close to me, so I'm going to go check him out and see what can be done, but the soonest I can get there is Saturday.
Any other Indiana B owners can get there today or tomorrow to meet the guy and get his story?

Good luck, Andrew, I am not close but wanted to give you virtual hugs fro trying to help this boy out..Let us know what happens.
-
Poor Manny, I hope you can help him out Andrew, you're a star.

Thanks for spotting this dog Andrew. If you can, see if you can fill any of the in the blanks in a BRAT style adoption list…....oops......sent to post instead of preview......
Edit: If you visit him, see if you can fill us in on any info like what you'd find on a BRAT adoption information sheet. That's a doable adoption fee. If you can get him a foster home, message me. I'll send the adoption fee to you or BRAT.
Thanks, Dawn

I haven't yet, no. I figured I would go and meet him first.

Contact Keath at America's Basenji Rescue.

Did BRAT or someone go get this boy? He's not on the IHS website any more.
-
FYI - there is a pretty active Basenji rescue in the Indi area already - it is possible that they went and got him. I have to think about who is the lead person because other than a first name of Mary I don't remember.

Andrew its probably worth another call down there just to settle your mind.

There are also quite a few breeders in the Indianapolis area that might be his breeder. Brad Phifer is a breeder, dog trainer and worked at the Indy Humane Society…though he is out of town right now. If you can get this guy out, I bet there are a lot of people around there that would help you out.
-
Manny's no longer on the IHS site, which means someone adopted him. I did contact Rebecca and Keith at America's Basenji Rescue so hopefully they went and got the little guy…
-
I heard from Brad earlier today…and if this is same dog he was talking about, it was adopted by a person who had recently lost his/her B recently. Sounds like a happy ending :)
-
Very good news indeed, Thanks for the follow up Andrea
