Greetings from Florida!
We are in the midst of making plans to spring the seized Wimauma basenjis from the Hillsborrough County Amimal Services shelter. Thanks to all for your wonderful offers of help! We will be in touch with you soon.Kenyatta, the mother of our bottle-fed litter, has spent the weekend with the vet, is showing improvement, but is still in a very guarded condition. Her pups are gaining weight, and most are beginning to suckle a bottle, progressing from being mostly tube-fed. Keondra, our last mom-to-be, looks ready to whelp any day now. She is even following nicely on leash and seems to be enjoying her last days without pups. Initially very distrustful of humans, Koca is begining to warm up to Pam. Her two week old pups are becoming rolly polly. Attached is a photo of one of our young puppies.There are now over 50 basenjis in the pack. Transitioning these dogs from their beginnings in a five acre field with little human contact to becoming healthy, well adjusted pets with loving families is our goal. We have been receiving notes asking about donations. Our webmaster has set up a link so that donations may be made by PayPal, credit card through PayPal or by check. We are determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax exempt pursuant to IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Donations are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. We would appreciate any contributions made to help these basenjis find their way into forever homes. http://basenjirescue.org/donations/FLBasenjisDonation.asp
Thanks for all your thoughts and concerns for these basenjis.
