This sounds to me to be a scam and I am glad you said no. Scammers count on you feeling quilty for saying no. I personally do not feel any dog should be used to raise funds by an auction. The people buying the dog might not be the best parents for a furbaby. The interest of the puppy should come first and being placed in the best home should be the first priority. If I am not mistaken I don't think YTCA allows this in their club as fundraising either.

I realize I cannot help everyone, even if they are a good charity so I pick my favorites and that is who I donate to. I don't feel guilty when I turn others down because I know I am doing the right thing with the ones I have picked. I also will never donate based on a phone call. If I am interested in a charity then I will do it either on-line or with a check. Many organizations pay people to make the phone calls for them and they are paid by how much they raise.
