I have to say on the one hand I would love to sign it, but on the other hand I decided not too. Here is my reason why, besides putting my personal Info in jeopardy, this was how I was able to rescue Gizmo. One of my neighbors had alerted me to this small pup that was being advertised on Craigslist and unlike caring puppy owners, she was a backyard breeder that had a pup that was dying. The girl that was breeding all sorts of different dogs, a byb, knew he was near death and was trying to get the money out of him before he died. She was refusing to take him to the vet and was determined to get money out of him before he died. My neighbor had even offered to take him for free so she could get him help, but the byb refused saying she wanted the money dor him, and my neighbor did not have it. My neighbor knew of all the animals my husband and I had rescued, so she came to my house and showed me the listing. I called immediately and got there as fast as possible, there fore being able to rescue him, and being able to turn the breeder in to animal control.
Had she not put him on Craigslist, Gizmo would be dead right now. So I'm actually glad she had Craigslist at her disposal so I was able to rescue him and save his life. A week later my daughter found a similar situation, and was able to rescue a maltipoo puppy that she named Dash, who was also very sick and is now healthy. The pup my daughter rescued was only 5 weeks old being sold by a teenage girl who did not know how to care for puppies, and she was also a run away with her dog when it had its puppies.
There are a lot of these types of situations on there, you would not believe how many. We often go on there and look for pups ads that don't seem quite right and we have paid the reforming fees to get them away from these people, and get them to loving homes. So in a sense, it has actually helped us to save several puppies that otherwise would probably not have survived. That is why I am so trn on this issue, because at times it can actually help to save them from bad situations.
The way Gizmo was advertised, was that the breeder had a larger dog, that was beating up on him so he had to be rehomed immediately . I already knew what the situation was and was sickened to see her advertising him as a pet, when I knew for a fact that he was not a pet, and she was a breeder, but this is hw they work. They will advertise like loving pet owners and that they are trying to do what is right for the puppy, when instead they are greedy people just trying to make as much money as quick as they can.
Just another perspective :-)
