| This tiny little guy needs a home, Florida I look through craigslist at least 2-4 times a day looking for Cookie. Well I saw this tiny Chihuahua who is being put up for adoption. He was rescued with his litter and was bottle fed since he was 2 weeks old. He is adorable. Anyway please take a look. He is in Miami. This is not my dog, I just thought that someone here might want to give him a loving forever home PUPPY FOR ADOPTION~~MY LAST RESCUE This is what the ad says: I have a male Chihuahua that just turned 12 weeks old. He has all his puppy vaccines and dewormings. so that saves the new owner several trips to the vet. He is a rescue and has been bottle fed since 2nd week of life. Very sweet baby, raised around children, other dogs and cats. He is not a teacup but he is the runt. estimated adult weight 4-6 lbs Adoption fee $300 to help cover medical expenses . Email or text 305-766-3672 anytime to come see this baby. PICTURE; THIS IS GREMLIN. I DID NOT BREED HIM. HE IS ONE OF 9 PUPPIES I RESCUED. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANKS TO YOUR FLAGGING I CAN ASSURE YOU I WILL NOT RESCUE AGAIN. I WILL ALLOW THE PUPPY OR PUPPIES BEING ABANDONED TO BE PUT TO SLEEP AND I WILL TURN MY BACK. I HAVE A DEBT OF $1300 DUE TO THIS AND I HONESTLY CANNOT CONTINUE WITH THIS STRESS. THANKS SO MUCH! ALL I ASK YOU IS TO ALLOW ME TO PLACE THIS LAST PUPPY. THATS ALL. IM DONE |

| Looks to me like the posting is being flagged for good reason.

It means that someone knows this person is not legit and they are flagging it to get it removed from Craig's List.

| I've never looked, but I thought it was illegal to sell live animals on Craig's List. If this is true, that's why the listing was flagged. A litter of 9 would be very unusual for a Chi, but maybe not impossible. That may be why the litter needed human intervention. I dunno. I just feel sorry for the pup and hope he gets a good home. |

| $300. is a bit high for an adoption fee so the ad does look like it is a sale. That is probably why it was flagged. There is a whole lot of flagging going on lately - all of it is usually done by the same person. |

| I have not found Cookie yet. The reason why it's being flagged/reported. Is because in that area of Craigslist you are only allowed to ask for a small adoption fee. I believe the fee is under $200. Anything over that is considered a sale and that is not allowed. If she had to bottle feed those chihuahuas since they were 2 weeks old then it is possible that she got a vet bill up to $1,000 like she mentions in the ad. I'm just saying you do get bad and good people dealing in craigslist. There have been people that try to rehome dogs and are very, very picky to where they go to. I hope he finds a loving forever home and things work out ok. Gen |
