Sadly, I've seen many adds like that.

Re: We should have a sticky for Craigslist adds we find

Look closely at the pics Hedy. They have funny lumps in them. I asked if they were feeding lumps and he said no.


Here is another winner!

Yep, I saw the pictures.

Stepard and dovermen?

I loathe people who get dogs only to give them away later. A dog is a commitment for life.

They arent always given away through choice, you dont know why they have to be rehomed.

There is NOTHING that would make me give away my dogs. If you aren't 100% sure you can provide for the dog its entire life, you have no business having it.

Try getting hit by a truck and not being able to walk and then seeing the dogs physical and mental health deteriorate. It may not be an easy decision but for the health and well being of the animal it is the right decision.

Re: We should have a sticky for Craigslist adds we find

BB there are a lot of things that should be a lifetime commitment but get thrown away. Children is the first thing that comes to my mind. Unfortunately that's how some people are.

And sometimes there is no choice, we shouldnt judge people without knowing their circumstances.

All dogs need jobs. It would both benefit the animal and the owner if the dog went into training as a service dog. It would be mentally healthier than the average "pet" dog.

Life has a funny habit of kicking you right in the teeth. Changes can occur in an instant that turn your whole world upside down. Karma is indeed a b!tch.

No judgement here. Sometimes what is truly best for someone or something we love is the hardest thing we can possibly do. I can see both sides of the card. I am just saying that people make terrible decisions all the time. Yet someone one else can make the exact same decisions under different circumstances and it is truly an amazing decision. I can elaborate if my point is still unclear.

I'm going to step out of this conversation before I get myself in more trouble.

Ugggghh. This is depressing. Selling a Timor as an easy to care for pet, and it comes with a 10 gallon tank! I seriously want to meet with this guy just to punch him in the head

2 adult Timor monitors

I love how people call it a re-homing fee. Apparently he got ripped off on the older one.

Ya, technically its illegal to sell them, so it becomes a "rehoming fee" to get around it
