Very sad story about Sasha in GA

Basenji Rescue
  • Houston

    How weird and so sad.
    I sure hope Sasha finds her way to a nice home or rescue, where they actually care about her..
    Thanks for trying to get her Vicki.


  • @EskiLovr:

    What kind of rescue organization lets a dog "get away?!" Sounds fishy to me.

    Exactly! Someone that does rescue I would think takes their responsibility serious.That's lame and she should be reported and never get a rescue if she's in fact just saying "well that happens".:mad:


  • @Vicki:

    Agusta Animal Control called me and said BRAT picked up a Basenji last week, but they don't think it is Sasha. The missing dog from Sardis, GA, has "scars on her back legs." Do you think that explains why there was no picture on petfinder?

    Did they say if the scars were quite noticeable? Was she abused? They could of taken a pic of her in the sit position if that was the case.
    According to this it's run out of a home. http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA297.html. I'm wondering if they're overwhelmed with animals so the control is not as good as it should be?

    Vick. I have been on crigslist in Georgia, in several towns around Sardis, looking at lost and found..I saw a few that might be something looking like a B (no pictures, just descriptions) I have emailed them, let's hope one of them is her.
    Needless to say I will let you kow of what I hear.


  • @Vicki:

    Thanks Bmama - Sasha has been missing for SIX WEEKS. I just called the foster home, again, and asked a couple more questions. I also left my name and phone number.

    The woman said BRAT had contacted her about Sasha, too.

    Maybe she's in a shelter in that area?


  • Makes me want to cry thinking of a shy little girl b out there on her own:( Poor pup…..

    Basenjis are notorious escape artists. They can go over or under a fence in no time. They can bolt through a door, slip out of a collar, or chew through a leash in the blink of an eye. "Spooky" or undersocialized Basenjis who escape and find themselves in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people are extremely hard to get back. Even the most responsible person can have this happen.

    I think the concern and upset here is that the woman wasn't looking for her.


  • If a shelter has had her for six weeks, what are the chances…..

    No, that's unthinkable. I want to hope she was picked up by a caring human who is taking care of her:(:o

    Thank you for trying, Ms. Vicki


  • Sad all the way around, but often these dogs do turn up, hope she doesn't end up where she started…

    He sure did pick up the looks of a Basenji but in miniature form! I would love to see his running style. Jennifer

    Robyn, THANK YOU for the update! Do you have any leads on the needed kennel? I have several friends near Atlanta that may be able to help out… another thought: do you think the Atlanta news station would carry the story? ;) I am so glad you are dedicated to these lovely dogs. Patty.

    @Ginny2244: I got to chat with Judge Nick today about the Wimama basenji pack. . He was the presiding judge at the Feb 11th hearing in Tampa, who granted custody to Hillsborough County Animal Shelter. Of course I thanked him for saving the basenjis, saying how wonderful that they would be turned over to BRAT. He spoke highly of BRAT, impressed that BRAT members were in attendance from not only Tampa but from around the country. Awesome ! Good to hear, thanks Ginny!

    Ms. Vicki, you are the greatest! I've been thinking about this boy since you posted him. It's really cool you're giving your time and experience to rehome him properly. With your patience and the assistance of your wagging-tailed brood, you should have him turned around in no time!:) Hey, tomorrow's Thursday…any word on this boy?
