A friend of ours talked to the woman with the 7 month old female today. The original owner was older, got her from a shelter (as a Jack Russell) and she was just too much energy. The current 'foster' took her to help the original owner, but she has several other dogs, the basenji has already escaped once. She has chickens, etc., and her husband wants her re-homed soon. I saw a (poor quality) photo and she looks pure basenji but has one drop-tipped ear and barks occasionally, she is intact still. No one I know is up for a youngster like this, but we are asking around. If anyone out there is interested,I'll help with transport.
URGENT-TX-Seagoville-Male Basenji/Shepherd Mix-In Shelter

He was dumped in a tank!
Here is what I was told about him when I inquired on Facebook:
Hey Jennifer! Hardy hasn't been heartworm tested yet and he weighs approx 50 lbs. We're going to be at the Walgreens in Seagoville tomorrow (Sat) for an adoption fair from 10 am-3 pm. You should come out, meet him and spend some time with h…im. He'll be at the shelter and we'll be set up on the right just before you get to the shelter. Come by and see us and we'll take you down there! We'd love to see him saved! Monday is getting so close and time is literally running out for this poor boy.
