I want to add also, I'd be weary of rehome ads on Craigslist. Not to say it NEVER happens, but most of the time it's a scam. Or a fake rehome of a puppy that is way too young (meaning they are backyard breeders/BYB pretending to rehome). I would also never pay a rehoming fee of more than $100 for a dog that is not from a rescue. Reason is, rescues can prove to you the dogs are UTD on shots, spayed/neutered, dentals, socialized, healthy, and ready to go to their forever home. That all costs money for the rescue, and most of the time the rescue is charging LESS than what they have already spent on vetting the dog. A private party that charges several hundred dollars to rehome their dog is just trying to recoup their "losses" unless they have proof the dog was recently vetted. But personally I don't think a family would usually vet their dog if they are planning on giving it up, even if they are surrendering to a reputable rescue.
