Craig's list Yorkie for re home I seen this Yorkie on Craigs list that is 4 years old and owner wants her re-homed. I sent a request with some questions and of course how much. The only question she answered was the fee. I emailed again and ask some other questions, like how does she get along with other pets. She is in a home with another dog. Also is she house broken? The post says she is UTD on shots and spayed. I haven't heard back with the qustions answered. I just thought it was strange with the questions I ask in the first email. Her email was only the dollar amount of $350. and nothing else. Is this a normal "re-home fee"? Anyone ever done that? (re-homed a dog) And does it seem odd she didnt answer me to the other questions? Here is the link: Spayed Female Yorkie |
I am not sure about a re-homing fee as I would only ask for what my costs are but I would be sure the animal goes to a great home |
On Craigs list you are not allowed to sell pets, So what people do is a re-homing fee. This covers what the person paid to care for the pet. vacc, food whatever. I got Corky from CL, my re-homing fee was 35 bucks.. Depending on the dog should not cost no more than 100 bucks. Sounds like this person is selling the dog, and calling it a re homing fee. he/she might have thought you were someone that might get them in trouble. And has not responded to you. Just ask for the dog papers vet checks. and take them to you vet. |
Wanted to add this might be a stay at home breeder selling a litter. |
We have had news reports in our area telling ppl to be careful about buying dogs on craigslist - especially the "toy breeds" such as yorkies. Apparently, ppl are stealing yorkies and selling them on CL to get quick money. Not sure if this is the case w the little one you are looking at, but not getting answers to questions makes you wonder. I don't know what to tell you to do if that is the case. Do you leave a dog w ppl who steal? Buy the dog anyway to give it a good home? I don't know. You will have to follow your heart. |
I just looked at the pic. She looks like a sweetie. |

She is sooo cute.... I think they are just selling her.. Which if it were me I would flag the ad. The re-homing fee is to high. |
Thanks everyone who has given suggestions. I think we are all thinking on the same line. This is the next email she has just sent She's been around a lot of other dogs and gets along well with them. She's usually submissive toward them. I think I am going to give her my number and try to get her to call me see if I can feel her out better on the phone. Maybe she just dont have very good emailing/computer skills? |

Maybe she is asking this amount to make it's a more serious inquiry and not someone who wants to turn around and sell for more? I noticed they both have matching sweaters and the picture of her sleeping her hair is shorter then the one with the Schnauzer. Sure wish I lived closer, she looks adorable :( |
Good luck! I hope this pup gets into a home where she's wanted |
I live in Jacksonville and would love a new dog but I sure don't have $350. |
I hope someone from this group can "rehome" her |

I would, But I cannot afford to drive to J'ville, pay 350 and pay for vet for the cutie. |
She is so cute. |

I have 2 just hate to see any animal (especially a yorkie)go to a wrong home. Not saying this one will. |
I sent an email asking if she had her vet records. I was emailing from work so not sure if she responded back. Going to email again from home and leave my number. |

Heck if it were me, I would to make sure mine went to a good home. I would give mine to a good home if I had to get rid of them. Thank God I am not in that situation. It would be a last resort and best thing for them if did. Going to email now. BBL if I hear from her. Thanks everyone. |
I paid $250 for a sweet, friendly, and housebroken one year old re-home, and I thought that was a very fair price. After all, if I had gotten a free puppy, once I had paid for all of the first year vet care and neutering, I would have easily spent more than that. The sad thing was when dh gave the cash to them -- the husband excitedly said that they "were going on a cruise in two weeks and that money was going to be spent in the casino!!" :eek::thumbdown:( I thought to myself "you fool!!!, in three weeks we will both be out $250, but I'll have this sweet boy and you'll have nothing!" |

I just sent her another email from home. TOld her I was the person inquiring ealier and gave her that email. She did say she has all her vet records, and she is house broken. I did give her my cell number if she would like to call me. She said the movers just arrived today with her stuff and she was busy with that. I guess she means putting her stuff up. I am going to email her back and ask her to call me when she gets a chance that I am interrested. |
She looks so sweet and precious! |
She does look so sweet! I really hope someone here could give her a good home! |
I'd pay $350.00 for her if only to make sure she went to a good home. I hate to see pets put on CL or any ad for that matter. If she really is healthy and doesn't have any major issues I would say that is a fair price although I wish she sounded more concerned about the welfare of the little darling. |
If I had the money I'd get her too. I miss my Paris so much. |
Carp.......... Someone is trying to get my Yorkie. LOL Lady is emailing me more someone else has sent her an email also but she thinks her girl will be better fit with me. May be meeting her this afternoon. I'll check back. |
Be careful she is telling the truth and not trying to drive the price up. Do you live in Jacksonville? I live in Neptune Beach! |
Just checked CL and there are more Yorkies on today. How sad. |

She said the other girl has been on and off about getting her and seen some of my pictures and felt better with her going to me. We'll see, I will met her after work today. Yes I am in jacksonville (Callahan actually). Work in Jax though. I think you and I have PM'd before. |
