Cheska's Bella · 10-25-2006, 06:18 AM

LOL! Just checking in to see if there has been a response!

Guess I will have to keep a look out for reply to.

Who knows maybe one of our trolls alerted her to this thread, it has happened often here.

We all helped out and gave her all the stuff she needed. We found out a couple weeks later her hubby never was losing his job and she sold the stuff in the paper and made quite a small fortune.

She later told another friend about what she did to us, laughing at how dumb we all were, little did she know I also knew that friend too. It was not pretty the next time I saw her.

It's people like that who ruin it for people who really do need the help. This is why so many people don't donate to people or help out people who need help, because they think it's a scam.

I know the ads can't be free and you said she placed one in several of the newspapers, how is she going to pay for that and not be able to pay for a puppy? Maybe she has friends or family in other towns and if she got a free puppy she would get them to sell it for her?? Sounds like a scam to me, if she has other animals, she doesn't need a puppy. jmo:

JeanieK · 10-25-2006, 09:09 AM

That entire thing doesn't make sense. If they have other female dogs, why are they looking to get one free?

The writing in that ad is atrocious.

And as someone else mentioned, those ads have to cost money. Sounds very fishy to me. Give us the email address and we'll all write to them.

gypsyqueen · 10-25-2006, 09:31 AM

People want a free pet if you cant afford to pay for the pet you cant afford the vet I will give money to beggers , homeless , charitys but never a free pet

I just think someone else should email her and say that they have a female mutt puppy that is already fixed that they cant take care of and they are willing to give her a new home...i could do it and i even have pics of a mut i could send her because my mom has a mutt lol...or i could email her and tell her that i have a large breed but registered female thats not fixed that i can give to her because i have pics of my aunts american bulldogs on my pc and if shes willing to take it then you know shes just trying to make some money lol if she turns the small one down but takes the big one which is completely opposite from the one she asked for lol...if you want me to try just pm me her email

I agree. Sometimes, there are people who genuinely needed help. For me, when it comes to money donation like someone in the street who asked me a buck or two because they don't have money to pay the fare to go home or for food; I will usually give them a buck or two because I give them the benefit of the doubt..what if the person really needs it? What if the person is already depressed and not getting some money for food, he got so desperate and committed suicide after? The buck or two won't hurt me so sometimes, I do give although if my hubby finds out about this, he would give me a good nag. When it comes to puppy.....that is a whole different story. That is something i do not want to take chances with and that is probably why I never breed my dogs because i will not be able to part with my puppies and I would worry about them all the time even if they had gone to good homes.

Just an idea..maybe in the email you can include that you are giving them a puppy but it comes with a contract to sign as well..something that says to cover the neuter/spay costand to be neuter/spayed before going to their home and puppy must be with them for the next say 3 years in exchange of the free puppy.If they are going to use them for breeding or resell, they would respond differently to this.

sweetr72 · 10-25-2006, 04:55 PM

Well this is her only and last response...she is totally off her rocker and I hope no one gives these people a puppy...no matter how big or small!!

right now we did have a jack russel terrior we have a fence in the back yard
but it not fenced all the way around and right now finacial wise we can not
afford to have her fixed

thanks for the reply please get back

sweetr72 · 10-25-2006, 04:59 PM

Here is her email addy...go cwaaaaaazy!! I am interested in what she wants thats younger than 4 months???

chathamgirl2006@hotmail.com

sweetr72 · 10-25-2006, 05:09 PM

OK I had to email her again..couldnt help myself..

Younger than 4 months?? A good breeder will not sell you a puppy much younger than that..16 weeks is very young!! Anything younger could be dangerous...if you cant afford to have her spayed..how can you afford her shots? What if your puppy were to get sick..then what would you do? I am sorry but if you cant afford a simple medical procedure like a spay then you should wait a while to get a puppy. A good quality puppy food is around $16 per bag and small breeds NEED it for their teeth and general health. What if your puppy were to get loose...and she wasnt spayed? A litter of puppies could end up costing you over $1000. Maybe a small breed isnt the best choice for you. You should wait until your fence is complete and your finances are more in order..this is a commitment and the small breed puppies are just alot more work. I am offering you a VERY expensive dog for FREE and you cant even afford to take care of the simple things?? Good luck on your search...but think about the best interest of the dog!!

Dawgcrazee · 10-25-2006, 06:17 PM

The whole thing reeks of scam and I can't believe she turned down a 4 month old Yorkie. And it is said that beggars can't be choosy...apparently she can...Ha

sweetr72 · 10-25-2006, 06:34 PM

Ohhhhhhhhh it gets better...

i have had pleanty of animals in my past and have had alot of them come from
homes that they beated the animal also a puppy is ready at the age of 6-8
weeks to go to a home i know that cause i helped raise my mother 5 year old
dog now from when he was 1st born i have had pleanty of experience in
raising a dog so there for i know exactly what i am doing no offence thanks
for the advice and we know exactly how much it is to take care of a dog and
how much dog food is

i know you are looking out for the benifits of the dog but im sorry to say
you are asking me to have the dog fixed before i even get her what is to say
that i give you the money you get her fixed and i don't get the dog?
don't take me worng the reason im saying that is for the reason it has
happend to us in the past and alot of people i know have had the same
experience in that

also we had a terrior before and like i said the previous owner beat him
can't prove it but i can say this much whenever a man came near him he would
grow and show his teeth to the fact we had him for a year and he finally
turned against my husband and attacked him so we had no choice to put him
down and that was only a month ago also the reason i said we are looking for
a puppy after christmas that way then we can save between now and then for
the exspences of shots fixing and esentuals the puppy will need

thanks again for the reply

Someone...please offer her a FREE 6 week old cockapoo or whatever the heck it is she wants lol...ask her to sign a spay-neuter contract..this person irks me to no end lol...
