Basenji Male in the Martinez, California shelter

Basenji Rescue
  • Northern California

    I received a message from a shelter worker by the name of Pat (510-532-2309) about an owner surrender of a neutered male Basenji (Trigger). He is not yet up on the Shelter's web site (925-338-8300), his ID number is 385619 shelter phone is 925-338-8300, enter 0. She didn't leave any other information and I tried to call her and left her a message. The person that left me a message did say he is available to breed rescue.

    Looks like according to the shelter website they are closed tomorrow, Friday (mandatory furlough day in California) and Monday, Shelter will be open on Saturday.

    I sent an email to the BCONC and asked copied Sharron, as I don't know who the BRAT person would be for No. California, since BCONC can not do rescue and asked her to pass on the info. Maybe some club members could do a transport if there was a foster home available for him. Or someone here that is from No. California?

    If I get any other information, I will let everyone know. If anyone goes to see this boy on Saturday and can report on his condition, etc. that would be great. I will not be available on Saturday.

  • Pat, my understanding is that he was p/u and is now in rescue.

  • So I have also heard.

  • I will see if I can find out when he his placed for you.

  • I would image that he will show up on BRAT's site. I just wonder who he came from

  • 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.

    I'm sure this has already been forwarded to basenjirescue.org but I sent it again just in case as well as posted this on their Facebook page. Hopefully someone can help this guy out. I can help with transport if needed. :-)

    I also thank you for being so good to give this boy a,home. it sounds as though he's had a really rough time in the past but I know you'll make up for all that. I hope he gives you a lot of pleasure.

    I guess for some people he is too large for a Chi and not quite a Basenji-too small as he weighs 15 lbs. He is estimated to be 5 years old. If you know someone who might be interested in him or a rescue group that could take him, please forward the information. This boy is listed on Craigslist as urgent and here is his information and the link: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pet/2772364788.html "CODY" needs a second chance. He is a male, Chihuahua / Basenji Mix. He has been at the Van Nuys shelter since OCTOBER 15, 2011. Because "CODY" has been at the shelter so long he is running out of time. Due to the shelter running over capacity he will be euthanized soon if he does not get adopted. Please if you are looking for a dog consider adopting "CODY" and giving him a second chance. He is at the East Valley Shelter in Van Nuys. To see a photo and get additional information please see the link below. http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=LACT.A1257520 Jennifer
