Don't read more into things. Though due to other issues stated would be the red flag.
They not wanting to meet you someplace is not the biggest red flag. Which I've always said, "hey stranger, you "say" you're interested in buying a pup, why don't you come on over to my house see what I have and wait until I leave (remember you told me you're going to 'think' about the pup and 'get back to me') and come back and steal my dogs, my tv, etc"
Sorry, it's a dangerous world out there these days, desperate times for desperate people. Do NOT bring just anyone claiming to be looking for a dog into your house --- especially if it's obvious it's just you and the dogs there. Be a smart seller, not a dead one. It's not like it's not obvious that so many single women sell pups. Just needs to be confirmed by the so called "buyer"! |
I agree with what you posted 100 percent!! When we found Rosies new owner he wanted to come to the house and because I didnt know him personally I wouldnt let him come to the house, I have 4 kids and my other animals to think about, and my house is always clean!! So it doesnt always have to be a "red flag" because the person didnt want to meet you at their house to get the pups. Its a crazy world we live in now a days..
Rosie's owner turned out to be a wonderful guy who loves her to dealth and she is now an even more spoiled 65 pound coon dog that gets to sleep in the bed with her owner and has taken his 8000 dollar leather couch as hostage..
To the OP thanks for taking this pup, sounds like she needs lots of loving care, a decent food and maybe some fish oil supplements to help with her coat issues.
