| Craigslist rant I made the mistake of browsing through the Craigslist pets section. I came across this jewel: teacup sized dog wanted (crawfordville) Date: 2011-05-05, 10:17PM EDT Reply to: comm-d45gf-2365121784@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Small teacup sized dog wanted. Does not have to be a puppy. No breeders please. I dont have a problem with you i just dont have that kind of money to spend. Please e-mail pictures and info. Will remove ad when I find the dog Im looking for. Location: crawfordville it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 2365121784 I cannot begin to COMPREHEND how those of you that work in rescues/foster parents handle yourselves when you know that it's people like the idiot above that brings in little ones in deplorable conditions because they want to buy a $50 TEACUP. I have many choice words for this lady but I don't even know how to begin. I also found a lady who constantly posts adds for "family looking for a puppy" the ONLY requirement is that the puppy/dog has to be FREE! And THEN a few weeks later they post an ad saying they can't keep it and require a "rehoming fee." This has happened at least THREE TIMES. RANT OVER. Bless all of you foster parents/rescue workers out there. I would be so jaded.

Now that lady that keeps FREE Dog's, what she is doing is getting them free and then selling them so she can make money. Alot of people do this to supplement their income. I know it's sick.

| I did get a long hair chihuahua from someone on craigslist. They wanted 20 for him. 15 months old. Love him to pieces. Vet said looks purebred and in excellant health. The family sd the husb's doxie would not stop fighting with him. Harley is the sweetest dog and so loving.

| We adopted a gorgeous Belguim German Shephard. The owners could not find work and had to move back to Romania. He is a strong 131 pound 4 year old and we love every pound of him. We do keep a doggie gate deviding the house from my toy poodle and (new to the famil) Yorkie. He wouldn't hurt them on purpose but would play to ruff and hurt them. So there are good dogs and x-owners on Craigslist that just need a good home. Lupu (meaning Wolf in Romanian) was free. I DO agree on the anger of the greeders, it's discusting ! |
