Is this posting for real??? Seriously, what breeder would let a puppy go at five weeks?? Obviously, a bad one! This really is so so sad...

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

I am starting to question these Craigslist ads....to many and all before Christmas. Seriously!

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

That's why I said I don't trust Craigslist...too many scams...everyone should watch that movie about the Craigslist killer and then they'd think twice about contacting any freak who posts for things on this! People have been mugged meeting a potential buyer...and obviously worse....NO THANKS!

I think because one person looked, many of us are looking in our areas out of curiosity. I do wonder if there are normally this many posts or if it is because of Christmas...

Rachel, we saw this coming.  There are several reasons for this.  The dogs have become so popular.  Sadly, it is a fad for many to have one of these dogs.  People can make a fast buck breeding their dog so they do.  Then, there are the idiots that buy cute puppies right now because of the season but have no intention and no idea what to do with a puppy. 

Sadly, fostership goes down this time of year.  Also, people give up the dogs this time of year.  It is not a coincidence.

In 3 months you will see another surge because those Christmas puppies are no longer cute.  They are untrained and  unwanted.

SIGN UP TO TAKE A DOG ( FOSTER) INTO YOUR HOMES FOR CHRISTMAS. You can help.  Home for the Holidays applies to just these  types of situations.

This is really sad. It's true that Ollie drove me nuts (and still sometimes does) those first few weeks, but he is my best friend and it makes me sad that so many dogs are given up on so easily. I guess I just didn't know so many were pushed aside.

I always check and usually find one or 2 in my state or surrounding states. This is way out of hand now, I don't believe the young ones as a real story though,
