UGGGGGG!! I am just so disgusted by people right now.

I thought this was a joke- are these people serious? :mad:

That's sickening! I saw the following one ( they also have a picture of him ) and it broke my heart!:(

We need to find a home for our little yorkie. He's a gorgeous little boy that is not nuetered but is NOT
breeding quality due to an overbite! He is an indoor dog (as I would hope most yorkies would be) and loves to have his belly rubbed. He will need his shots updated! We got him before we lost our home and are now living in a small trailer and there is just not enough room. We also dont have the neccessary funds to take proper care of the little guy. I am asking a very small rehoming fee ($50) just to make sure someone who will love and pamer him will take him. Has been around other dogs and cats so he's good with them both!
I don't want him in the same situation with another family as he is wish us. Please do not respond if you think it would be fun to own a yorkie. We only want someone serious and willing to have patience with him while he adjusts to a new home. He's very friendly but I imagine he'll be shy the first few days or so. Someone who can AFFORD to take care of him properly only please! That was our problem, we just don't have the money anymore to properly take care of the little guy!
He's adorable and loved by two little girls who will miss him so very much so I need to have him picked up where they wont see him go. I don't plan to tell them until it's done. I am including a photo of him.
please email me at cmp_payments@yahoo.com for more information or to see him!

These are sickening and disgraceful! My heart breaks for these little dogs.

To some people dogs are just things, objects, possessions with no feelings and they have none for them. I know it true but it's so hard to understand it sickens me.

Breaks my heart:( I wish I could take them in and give them the life they so deserve..

Grrr! :mad:

I saw a post on CL that had me boiling mad - I had to walk away from it. Some idiot was ranting, asking why he couldn't sell his dogs on CL - you can sell everything else there, why not animals? It was his right to breed and make a little money.....after all, they were his property. :mad::mad::mad:

I came close to doing some physical harm to somebody with that one.

I know -- I'm thinking, is she wanting to trade her dolls for a stuffed animal Yorkie or something? Then she gives her demands. She has no clue!

These ads are just crazy. Can't believe a former Yorkie shower is trying to trade off a Champion bloodline Yorkie, in standard, 3 pounds for a laptop. They also would not advertise as Teacup. It does say he was raised by a show person though so maybe this person got him from a show breeder, as retired or something. Can you imagine how angry that would make you as a breeder? If they have an adequate contract when they sold him to this person, maybe they could just go get him back.

It is not that I don't believe in bartering, but for your pets? Just screams of treating them as accessories instead of family members. Sets the wrong attitude you want to get across when finding a forever pet home. You also want some indication the person is financially solvent enough to provide adequate care.

That is sad. I can imagine how very difficult it was for her to write up that ad. I am glad there there are people who will put the needs of their pet first. Sure it would be nice to keep a beloved pet but to have him continue on un-neutered, behind on his shots is just not right. What if something serious comes up. She knows she will not be able to provide the care. Needing money, she could ask more, but she loves the dog too and must feel bad taking money for him at all. A minimal $50 rehoming fee is all she asks except the assurance that whoever takes him WILL have the financial situation to provide him with the care he deserves. So many people hitting on hard times now having to make these painful decisions.

It is easy to think we would never let this happen, but I know at my age if I suddenly lost a job before I retired, choices would be few! Before I let one of mine do without, I hope I could make the sacrifice and find them a new home. Thank the Good Lord I am not in her shoes.

Oh, I totally understand. It just broke my heart. Having to do something like that would kill me.:(

Wow that sounds like it was written by a kid.

Heart Breaking and Sickening at the same time. Some people are too cruel. They don't deserve the precious animal they have.

So sad :(

Another stupid one!

Hello there, Im looking for a pregnant Yorkie, Maltese, or Shih tzu. The reason why is because It will give me time to start paying you the rehoming fee. And possibly by time there either born or ready to go to a new home. They will be paid off. Heres the twist. I would make up a contract, because Im looking for a little guy. So if your pup doesn't have a boy, I would be able to get the money back. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Please email me at the email above. Also, I'm willing to pick up or meet half way. Whichever your comfortable with. Have a great day,
Katelyn.

I hope that everyone is flagging the offensive ads. The one isn't a bad ad, she's just in a bad situation and is thinking of the little boy first:unlove: I know when we got our girls, we were doing great financially. We're not doing very well now and if one of them were to get seriously ill, I'd have to surrender to rescue:cry: There, but for the grace of God, go I.

How could anyone not fall head over heels for these precious puppies. As was posted earlier, they are a possesion. they're treated like a watch or a ring headed for the pawn shop...how cruel...

i know!!!
i mean it's important who yorkie puppies go to. Even one of my closest friends wanted a yorkie pup but i had to deny her because i knew she couldn't take care of up to MY standards. LOL how horrible but it's the truth.

My parents think I'm kind of a little obsessed with my yorkies, but they've grown to love them just as much and have become a little obsessed themselves lol

Do a Google search on the e-mail address - she has a my Space page and she is 16 years old:(
