2 Basenji boys in Spokane, WA shelter

Basenji Rescue
  • I also was worried about the dogs weight, so called the shelter again, and told them about fanconi and strip testing. They did say they have a very on staff and they would pass on the info to the vet.
    I think they will…

    Re posting these dogs to this site...THANK you, I don't have time to look at petfinder and this type of heads up can help me try to help dogs in need.
    I did post to all the folks who have BRAT ap's in Wa and Id to tell them about these 2 so fingers crossed they go to a good home, OR they go to a home that will call me.

  • Being that thin, I would also pass on info on EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

  • Darn it Lisa, I didn't think of that! I did call them 2 times this afternoon, they were kind enough to listen to me and write down what I had to say.
    I will call them tomorrow…"guess I will be their new best friend"...
    They might have prefered to give me these 2 rather than having to deal with me
    on the phone!

  • The peskier you are, the less likely they are to be euthanized. It shows that someone is looking out for the Basenji. I say be a pest.

  • Oh, Ms AJ, I always try to be a help to the shelters…and I do call them..often several times a day...laugh, can't help it.
    I WANT them to make sure these b's go to the BEST home possible.
    Thank heavens they realize I do care about the dogs, and am not trying to tell them
    their jobs.

    Lighthouse i hope you're going to post some pics when you get you new Basenji.

  • Yay! That's great news. Thanks for jumping in with the shelter so quickly Sharron!

  • Good to hear that these dogs are out of there and in a home..

  • Oh, Rita Jean, these dogs went back to the owner. I am not sure this person even notified the shelter about the dogs being missing…and you saw the photos..sigh.
    I posted to the shelter to ask them to see if they could get the owner to take them to the vet.
    I so hope they do..
    Sigh.

  • I am so sorry breaks my heart to see the one little guy so thin. One can only pray and hope that the owners will take them both to the vet. Thank you for all your care, time, most of all concern.

    Rita Jean

  • Thank you all for the support. I do so appeciate it.

    It just occurred to me. They probably were thinking of Benji the movie. :)

    Pat, as you know, we really do work hard in BRAT to make sure that any quality basenji breeder are notified. I know myself, I have told folks that their b was in need in rescue, and the info never showed up on the rescue list. We are not out there to slam anyone. Our jobs are all about the dogs..ALWAYS… its about the dogs. If I get more that I can share, I will be happy to do so. Hugs my unmet friend.

    The thing with multi-generational mutts is that they tend toward the dog "default" which is the same look that you see in many street dogs and pariah dog, medium size, prick ears, and often tan coloring. Since basenjis are a primitive dog they share these characteristics.
