Not too long ago someone needed to rehome their yorkie (on YT thread) and their were like five "newbies" with 1 or 2 posts and "just" joined YT that posted they wanted her dog! I PM her not to sell to Newbies and warned her why and the dangers. One poster I knew and said she would make a good mommy to her baby. But begged her to at least not let a newbie take her! Don't know what happened and she never replied to my PM.  |
I don't think "newbies" ought to be allowed to adopt from here. Isn't there some talk now about making that a rule? People should at least know the basics of someones life before they give/sell a dog to them!
