I think the difference between the two situations is that you are a reputable breeder, who takes care of her dogs. This lady is a backyard breeder that has been breeding an unregistered dog, who isn't house trained, or trained at all from what PP have written. How many rescue dogs would have a home if the rescue organization/pound charged 700+ to help out a dog.
They aren't asking for a free puppy, they are just wanting to help find an older dog with issues a nice, loving home. Just because someone doesn't want to pay close to a grand for an unregistered dog with issues, doesn't mean they can't afford to take care of it once it gets to them. My little guy is a rescue, and I gave a rehoming fee of less than 200, but he has never/and will never want for proper care and treatment.
It is okay if you choose not to haggle with potential customers, I can understand that, but the lady with this ad obviously doesn't care to talk about price, so why should it bother you?
