another craigslist winner.
 
I can not believe this post:
ISO of dog to add to our family

I am trying to find a new dog to add to our family. We just had to recently give away our puppy because anytime we would leave her home alone (even for short periods of time) she would bark. We do live in an apartment and needless to say our neighbors were not happy with us. We do not really have any specifics concerning type or gender. All we ask is that he/she be under approx. 20 lbs and will stay that way (apt rules) and that she/he does not bark when left alone. I can promise you that he/she will go to a loving home. We would prefer one that is under 2 years of age but if the right dog comes along, any age is fine. Also, since I am a student, we only have 1 income at the moment. I do not mind paying a rehoming fee, but it would have to be small if any. If you have a dog that you think would be perfect for us please e-mail me asap. Thanks for looking! :)

I do believe dogs bark!

Ugh. Might as well put in big bold letters- WE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO TRAIN THE LAST DOG, SO DISPOSING OF HER WAS THE FASTEST COURSE OF ACTION. WE WON'T HESITATE TO DO IT AGAIN IF YOU SELL US A LEMON.

What the heck is wrong with people??!! Makes you wonder what they would do if the baby cried too much!

ArmaniMan 12-27-2010 02:48 PM
I never understand this- buying dogs and then dumping them for a new one when they no longer fit your specifications.

I used to belong to a general dog forum years ago and there was a girl like this on there- she always had a different dog that fit her lifestyle at that moment- and then they were conveniently "rehomed" supposedly to various family members everytime they got in her way.

They should get a cute stuffed dog and just be happy with that.

Agreed. If you don't want to put the effort in then why get a dog? This person is clearly not responsible enough to have a dog.

newsflash:
All dogs bark ;) especially if left alone for long periods of time. Craigslist poster... Does not have much money for a rehoming fee, probably has no money to care for a dog 100% . some people are so selfish ans idiotic. :eek:

Could have added WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE MONEY...I waited over 5 years to get my dog...
I really hate to jump in on this person just because they are a student in an apartment, or because they had to re-home a dog...it's the general show or lack of caring, understanding and ability that shows through! I was a student in an apartment with kids-WOW some breeders really stereotyped me and tried to give me the "maybe you need to wait lecture" when I decided I was ready...I see why now, they must deal with a lot of "these people"...let alone just posting an ad on craigslist..hmmmmmm telling.

Well I have to say from experience some dogs will bark no matter what my Ex-boyfriend has these two chi mutts and they would bark and bark for no reason it killed me. they wear never left alone they passed training at petsmart we tried distracting them we tried treating them when they wear quiet we tried putting them in a room with no windows we even tried a shock collar (and like a million other things im not sure they wear not my dogs so when they left a lot of the info about them did to)

in the end we broke up and moved to his dads farm and they get to bark and chase chickens all day but they still bark like mad and it was not for lack of training

They did get removed but they are up again, with this added:

I don't understand why I got flagged... All I am trying to do is find a dog to add to our family and to give a loving home to!! If you still think that I should be flagged please at least have the decency to e-mail me why! Regardless of what you think, we WILL give a dog a LOVING home where he/she will be HAPPY. So keep flagging and I will keep reposting until we find the dog that is right for us!!!!

anyone want to let them know why being flagged? I am worried about payback since it is in the same area.

With all of the advances in technology, they should come up with a little robot dog. It could save information from its day. Then after a prospective dog owner has the robot dog for a month or so, the information could be reviewed. It could show when it was fed, taken out, played with, crated. Hours could be tallied to see if balance was achieved. Experiences could be rated. For example, was the robot taken to the vet at appropriate times when it exhibited symptoms pre-programmed into it? Did the prospective owner show patience with training? There are all sorts of possibilities!! This would be such a great screening tool! Sort of like in high school when you have to carry the egg or a babydoll around with you for six weeks.

Someone needs to call the inventors hot-line...quick send yourself a poor-man's patent!

Here is the email I sent her:

1) All dogs bark.
2) You didn't take time to train your 1st dog - your answer was to get rid of it (disposable in other words) - what makes you think another dog won't bark and annoy the neighbors?
3) You are a student and only have one income so the fee would have to be low - do you then have the money to care for a dog 100% - good quality food, shots and other vet bills that may come up? Money set aside for emergencies in case something happens to your dog and it gets sick?
4) If you genuinely loved your first dog and were going to provide a loving home for it, you would not have gotten rid of her - you would have found some alternate care for her when you were away from the home.

I hope those are enough points for you to understand why your post is being flagged. Maybe you should try a goldfish - they don't bark and usually don't need to go to the vets.

I emailed her too. But mine didn't sound as nice as yours...:rolleyes:

Why is there no tag for bad buyer...?
Just saying...notice ppl like this go to craigslist instead of breeders...huh bet they don't even go to Greeders of pup mills, actually.

This is the reason when I found a lost dog and posted such on craigslist...I picture the dog with three of mine and said come identify your baby...making no mention of the dog's description other than female, found in this area no collar, no tags...and noted how she had recently been groomer (mine had been in the picture too).

J_is_my_initial 12-29-2010 09:24 AM
I looked and the ad is not there today. Thanks. Maybe she will understand though I doubt it. She just may repost later without talking about givining the other one away. Will be watching. Knew I could count on my YT friends.
