HELP! 8 AKC Basenji Pups in Young County Shelter

Basenji Rescue
  • This may be a stupid question, but is there a way that someone like me in California can adopt one of these pups?

  • @conan1911:

    Contact BRAT. www.basenjirescue.org

  • Its not a stupid question. I understand at least one of these pups is headed for Ca.
    You need to go to the BRAT site www.basenjirescue.org
    and sign up for them, and understand that transport costs will be up to you.

    That's great Sharron!!!! I'd sure like to see the all these pups wind up in loving homes. If they are half as good as the one we wound up with last year there will be some very happy Basenji owners in the near future.

    PLEASE keep me posted on the disposition of this litter.

  • Craigh, I am in Wa state. The BRAT gal in Tx is fostering and looking for good homes.
    Please, anyone who wants to be considered for any puppy/basenji needs to have a current BRAT ap and that is where the process starts.
    We need good homes, we so much need foster homes, and so, if you can help at all, please go and sign up. Hugs to all who have.

  • The happy ending just got a little happier: I was just notified that the BYB will be turning the parents over to the Animal Control officer tomorrow morning. When I saw the parent dogs last year, they appeard to be socialized and exhibit good behavior. Unless something has changed they should make good candidates for adoption as well.

    Mark one BYB out of business. :)

  • Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    getting this pair fixed and into a pet home will be heaven on earth to them.
    Do keep us informed if you hear more..
    THAT made my evening!!!

  • Awesome news. One down more to go…

  • I am sorry, I posted these pups were $200. That isn't correct. They are the regular BRAT sliding scale fee.
    I misread a post, and its totally my fault.
    Sorry, for the confusion.

  • Melissa picked up all 8 pups, Mom & Dad today and they are on their way to foster homes. Thanks to everyone at BRAT who came together to give these dogs the future they deserve. Mom & Dad were spayed/neutered today before the pickup, so their days as puppy-mill parents are finally over.

  • Melissa, YOU DID GOOD! Thank you so much for all your work on this.

  • 10 dogs really fill up an SUV! I'm glad they're on their way to happy horizons. Chalk up another "gooder" for the BRAT and Basenji Forums team. Thank you to everybody for your donations and your good thoughts.

  • Melissa…good work...those are some lucky and happy dogs....to finally be on their way to new forever homes.

  • Melissa, my thanks to you and to all of the wonderful people who work tirelessly to help basenjis who need a loving hand.

  • Just now getting on here and seeing all the kind messages! 3 of the pups are on the BRAT website, ready for adoption, the parents are almost ready to post, and everyone is doing great! Thank you to everyone who helped me rescue these sweet babies!

    If you would like more info, email me at : benda4brat@yahoo.com

    thanks!

    Im same person whos been emailing you about the BRAT vendor booth…. vacation is still an option!!

  • Its fine that you might want to protect yourself on any list.
    I think what your doing, well, its good that YOU get the credit.
    Re rescue booth work. Its really something I make time for in the PNW.
    My all breed dog club goes to areas, and I am there.
    I even do the Bull's Eye pit bull rescue booth, and I have to tell you, I have seen more
    attitude with a lot of b's than I did with these lovely PB..but that is of topic.
    Anyway, we admire you, Brenda or Melissa, just let us know how we should address you.
    Oh, I see..its Melissa…good!

    @senjisilly said in Basenji in Kern County, California: @tanza Doubt that he is a purebred. Hope the links to his other photos help you figure him out. I had a nice long chat with a woman at the shelter who thought he likely escaped his adoptive home and that the owners might not want him back. So far none of his adoptive homes were Basenji experienced. The tail. Have to agree. Still, could have a nice Basenji attitude. :oncoming_fist::beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    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.
