Maybe you should have contacted BCOC rescue and they could have taken over. While you may be affiliated with BRAT, in Canada we also have our own rescue and I'm sure someone was aware of it and already tried it. Helps to do a little digging with BCOC.
Basenji mix in Lufkin, TX shelter
-
I'm BRAT's Basenji mix coordinator, there is a very hi-mix in a Lufkin, TX kill shelter that I'm trying to find a home or foster for; they might keep her about 2 more weeks.
She is about 1 year old, 25 pounds, no bark; friendly, good with other dogs, very tolerant. Another BRAT member will pay her fee if someone will take her. I have more pictures of her. Her Petfinder site: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/17452955
