Hi, be very careful. If they ask you to pay for shipping only and want you to pay by western union back away fast!! Probably a scam going on!! If you live close to this person I would go see the dog and ask tons of questions. Why are they wanting to find the dog a new home?? It could be innocent but most people know how much these dogs sell for, so someone willing to give one away for free is definately something to question. If they truly are looking for a new home and are good people that simply can't keep the dog I'd ask for vet papers and make sure the dog is healthy. Be careful and good luck to you
