Missing B in Texas

[Terry]

This one is close to my heart.

Our daughter's Basenji, Juan, dug out of the yard of their new home in Shenandoah, TX, (nw of Houston, right next to The Woodlands) on Monday, 4/8. He has never been a roamer or a digger, so it came as a surprise. He has not come home or even been sighted. The kids have checked local animal control, driven around calling him, notified local vets and the whole neighborhood. Their 3 year old just keeps saying, "I want Juanie to come home!"

Juan is 8 1/2 years old, neutered red and white. He is microchipped. He was from our first home-bred litter and went to live with our daughter's mother-in-law several years ago when she was fighting cancer. Since she passed away 3 years ago, he has lived with our daughter (she loved him so much she refused to send him back to us!).

Hoping someone can help find him...

Contact all the animal control folks, contact your mail facility and leave flyers with photos and contact info and contact the bus drivers who take the kids to school.
These folks drive everyday...and they keep eyes out.
Good luck.
The more flyers with photos and contact info the better.

Oh no... I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you contacted BRAT? I wonder if they could put a word out to their people in the area. ??

Have you already registered this with Craigslist & dogdetective.com?? Def. call the BRAT and the local breeders in your area, they are excellent at smelling out Bs astray.

Thank you to all for your good thoughts. Still no sign of the boy as of last night. It's now been a week... We're just hoping that someone has him and he is safe. It seems odd that no one has even seen him.

I did contact BRAT, they've been fabulous! They have all their volunteers and fosterers in the area keeping an eye out for him.

My daughter's hopes were up briefly when Animal Control said they had a Basenji, but it turned out to be a tri female mix....

The more fliers you post and hand out ...
Hope you get good news soon.

Over a month now, no sign of Juan. All we are doing now is hoping that someone took him in and fell in love.

I am sorry to hear that Juan had not returned as of May...I have been missing my Dot now for two and half weeks (since August 17; I am new to the forum tonight). She climbed the fence. I am so crushed. Did Juan ever come home? I am still looking for Dot and will not stop. I too hope that someone has fallen in love with her and is treating her well, but I want her back more than anything.
