All dogs are worthy of love, no matter what they look like or how sick they are, this isn't about the dog it's about the breeder. We should never "rescue" a dog from a poor breeder, they will just continue to breed more dogs. You have no way of knowing whether this is a rehome or a breeder selling it. She has made it clear the dog will be sold "as is". Many breeders will take $500.00 for a dog, the price alone doesn't say much. The OP should know that when buying a dog like this, it could end up costing much more than the original purchase price. I always suggest going to reputable breeders or rescues, where you are somewhat protected. I've read many rehoming threads because the owner couldn't pay for the cost of surgeries for Liver Shunt or Luxating Patella, this is what's really sad. My answers have nothing to do with what the dog looks like.

Once again...the seller IS NOT the breeder. The puppy needs a home!!
