Kijji ads!

[megansmomma]

Everyone has their opinion of what the RESCUE/REHOME FORUM is all about. I understand the rules
Only Yorkie Rescues with a minimal adoption fee ($300 or less) are allowed. If fees are OVER $300, do not post the ad or link to another site in this forum. NO EXCEPTIONS (unless approved by a moderator or admin in advance).

This is for YORKIE RESCUES and YORKIES NEEDING NEW HOMES ONLY.
IMO by cluttering up the RESCUE/REHOME FORUM with a bunch of links to Kijji ads puts pups that are in real danger of being PTS at risk of meeting this fate.

IMO~Kijji is nothing except a breeding ground of poorly breed puppies coming from BYBers trying to make a quick buck. If one person purchases one of these poorly breed puppies it keeps these people in business, just like the puppymills. Is that really what any of us want to see?

As much as you might be enticed to call about a Yorkie puppy for $300 or less from one of these ad you need to remember that all you might be getting $1000 of vet bills in return. There are plenty of puppies for sale by members of YT that have a good reputation, why save a few buck and in return let a BYBer from a place like Kijji take your money while laughing all the way to the bank?

Woops. I posted a baby on here that I saw on Craigslist that is $350. Admin can delete it if they need to. Sorry. I just really want this baby to go to a good home!

uh oh... I did too.. but it was before I got the amount... I'll have to remember next time not to post until [U]after[U] I hear from the ad.

What I am trying to point out is not only the price but also whether or not it is a FOR SALE ad. Craigslist.com has rules about FOR SALE ads and when these ads do not follow their set rules they are "flagged" by other readers and removed. That is why we see a lot of Craigslist Yorkies For Sale links that have been removed by the time we try to use the posted link. If you read these ad closely you will see the warning signs that the ad is actually a puppy for sale which is against the posted rules. But when you post links to Kijji these are actual FOR SALE ads which clearly break the rules of the RESCUE AND REHOMING Forum. The real issue is that these are BYBer pebbling puppies they have bred solely for the purpose of selling for a profit. They most likely come from poor quality yorkies that should not be used for breeding in the first place. So basically when you repost their FOR SALE ad whether or not it meets the YT RESCUE AND REHOME price cap you are giving these people an even broader viewing audience and at the same time defeating the entire purpose of RESCUE and REHOME.

There are plenty of dogs that are in need of being rescued in Animal Control and risk of being PTS all over the country what would benefit from a new home and a post on YT. Just in the past few days I have actually lost track of how many pups were pulled out of kill shelters in several states and made their way to a new and loving home or into a rescue were they are safe from being PTS. We should make a concerted effort to find pups like them buried on Petfinder as well as other sources to save their lives. Otherwise, what I see happening is by word of mouth these unreputable breeders will begin using the YT RESCUE AND REHOME Forum as a way of selling puppies.

But that is the reason they do not advertise the amount. They know they are breaking the Craigslist rules so they get you to email for the "rehoming" fee and it turns out to be a FOR SALE ad.

Just make sure that you read between the lines before you post a link. If they will not say in their ad what the "rehoming" fee is then most likely they are selling dogs which is forbidden both in the forum as well as on Craigslist.

People are very sneaky with their motives and you need to weed out the bad and keep the good. That is what I am really trying to do by posting this thread. Read between the lines and you will be able to see the deceptive nature of people.

I believe that most of the posts from members in this forum are for the benefit of trying to save pups. But some times we can be fooled by others. You have to live and learn and that is what I believe brought us all here in the first place.

I do post a lot of Kijiji and Craigslist Yorkies in this forum.
most of them I email them myself make sure their Price is $300 or less and that they are rehoming these babies. I don't do it to help them sell or make money on their dogs. most of them are looking for homes. and they so deserve it. there's are people that come on here looking for a Cheaper Yorkie and there are so many out there just waiting on homes. this forum is for
Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed.

so if I see one that needs a home I post it. but If I think that they are breeders and will keeping breeding to sell pups then I wont post.

I agree that the ones from puppy mills and kill shelters and no kill shelters needs homes ASAP and they so deserve a loving home.
but so does all the others or they will also end up in kill shelters.

and I understand your post and what your trying to say. but saying one thing and also doing some thing your asking members here not to do that your also doing makes no sense. as for this craigslist biewer you had posted. and I didn't see a price on him?
Biewer on Craigslist in Chicago

Craigslist posts get flagged every day some because they are asking to much for their dogs and its also for rehoming not to sell from breeders. but some just like to flag to flag.I have seen many poor sad pups cheap needing homes and someone comes by and flags. that's so wrong.

You are mistaken, it clearly stated in the link that I posted that the dog was being REHOMED for a fee of $300 and they needed to rehome due to a family situation. It went on to say that he would only go to a good family with references. Furthermore, the listing was never flagged by Craigslist for breaking Craigslist rules and the link is still posted here in the rescue and rehome forum. I actually emailed the poster and the puppy found a good new home and the owner asked that their post be removed from Craigslist.com. This will further back my statement that the listing was within their guidelines.

I will stand by my original statement and back that up by the FACT that all your puppy For Sale posts were REMOVED and my Craigslist linked post is still here. But then again this is just MO.

Well I dont know why they were removed because I had emailed most of them myself and they were $300 and under. and I really dont check them to see if they are still there or removed. and Id like for admin/mod to pm me telling me what was wrong with those posts if they were removed , so Ill know not to post them again.

But the the statement I was making is you started this thread about

Only Yorkie Rescues with a minimal adoption fee ($300 or less) are allowed. If fees are OVER $300, do not post the ad or link to another site in this forum. NO EXCEPTIONS (unless approved by a moderator or admin in advance).
and all that I posted was $300 or less

IMO by cluttering up the RESCUE/REHOME FORUM with a bunch of links to Kijji ads puts pups that are in real danger of being PTS at risk of meeting this fate.
If you feel this way and want to get the word out to other members then why did you post the Biewer on Craigslist in Chicago in this Forum and also pm'ed a member asking her to post her pup she was trying to sell here? your doing the same thing I did yet you seem to think its different
and I do feel that the poor puppymill and killshelter Yorkies should be posted here first, because they need homes ASAP like I posted before.


well this forum is for Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed posts
people are starting to start threads in here on other things what they feel the rules should be and their opinions on this, that & other ... this is NOT the place for those such threads , they need to be posted in the
Site Suggestions / Comments / Questions Forum Or Off Topic Discussions forum
posts in here should only be for Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed posts

[YorkieShadow]

megansmomma sense I seem to be the only one posting in this forum fijiji ads. I know this thread was started for me. if you have a problem with me you need to bring it up to admin. I read the rules and I did not see any thing about not posting threads from fijiji. there are Yorkies on there that need homes too. not all of them are breeders. I have seen a few rescues and puppymill pups on there . I have not posted any Yorkie or Yorkie mix above $300.
and I feel that this thread is cluttering up the RESCUE/REHOME FORUM .





Admin megansmomma seems to want to let me know that my Post on here had been removed. if I did some thing wrong by posting those ads PLease pm me and let me know, for I want to stay with in the rules. Thank you.

below is what she had posted to let me know ( kind of childish If you ask me.)

[admin]

This forum is for Yorkie Rescues and for Yorkies Seeking New Homes, and ones that are priced at $300 or less. We would not allow posts or links with breeders selling multiple Yorkies, as that would definitely be considered for sale.

I didnt see your adds that were removed but I dont see anything wrong with the existing kijji adds

[TLC]

I too am going to be more careful about CL ~ what I am finding out is that my is heart breaking for alot of these FREE ads are not really Free after all

So I agree to be more careful and not clog up the Rescue section

[ladyjane]

I have certain people on ignore so the only way I see what they say is if someone quotes them.
I am disturbed to see through quotes, that there is name calling going on when the rules clearly state this is to be a positive forum.
