Please Help!!
 

I've just read this on Craigs List:

not sure why i was flagged asked a rehoming fee of $ 100 obo for a dog we paid $ 800 for but i have to find this little guy a home my mastiff is going to kill him hes terrified I can't even leave him out of a cage or my dog attacks him my mother in law is going to assisted living and can't take him with her, hes good with other dogs older children, and housebroken, has been spoiled all his life and we will let him go for less money but if thats the case, i want vet references and personal references and a home visit if your not willing to pay for him I would rather have him put to sleep then let him end up as a breeder in a cage or see him on the news dead because some sick person got him for free so if this gets flagged again he's going to be put down or go to a rescue if i can find one thats not full, i've already tried and can't find one that will take him in immediately, I don't care about the money and i'm willing to let him go for less as long as you have the credentials to prove you provide a good home Unfortunatly I can't put my phone number on here because last night the happy flagger on here called me over and over again preaching about making money off of this dog so email me and i'll get back to you with my number and pics.

I wrote to the person and begged them not to put this boy down, I asked them to come here and join and post, that maybe someone here may be willing to take the lil guy. Here is the pic that was with the post.

Here's the link to the add on Craigs List:

http://youngstown.craigslist.org/pet/2848956592.html

The add says it's in Youngstown, Ohio.

hoping he finds a safe and loving home!

Sadly I just checked it again and the post has been removed:( I hope the person who posted the add didn't have him put down.

I wanted to make sure that you got this information. DId you get the info from the people on the craigslist ad?

There is an Angels for Animals here in Lima that is (3 1/2 hrs away). The Canfield one is only 18mins away from Youngstown OHio.

Yorkie Rescue Groups < Ohio >

There are several listed....Hopefully this is helpful.....

I have no way of contacting the person now, I could only do it through the add that was listed on Craigs List Unless the person who made the add contacts me at my personal E-mail address (which I sent in the reply to them) I won't have any way to contact them at all. Praying God is watching over this lil one and works it out to where he can find a forever loving family and home to call his own. The ad has also been removed:( I hope the lil guy isn't being put down.

Here is the break down on who to contact and travel time if that helps.

You did everything that you could. Hopefully they contacted someone that helped them. It would be nice if they would let you know though.

I often wonder about the people that flag these types of ads on craigslist...do they actually think they are HELPING the dog??? I wonder how many people get frustrated like that poster about their ad being flagged and removed, and end up just dumping a dog to get rid of it.

I've not heard anything back.... I'm going to have to think that perhaps the poster found a home for the lil guy, there's already enough sadness in my heart right now. If I ever hear anything back, I'll be sure to post and let you know.

Be very, very, very, careful with this one - I smell a scam, not saying it is, just saying what I'm thinking... Did you give her your phone number? did she give you hers?

I hope someone can save this little guy. He looks so scared & confused in the pic :(

Yes, please be very careful, and if you meet up, please take someone with you, don't go alone. I've never heard back from the person at all. If this is not a scam, I pray things work out and you can get him. Please let me know what happens, I've been thinkin about him so much and wondering if he had already been put down.

Thank you so much for doing what you can to help this lil guy, hopefully your DH will come around, if not, I know you'll find the best loving forever home for him if you can get him. Please keep me updated.
