Sorrowful Craigslist Episodes

[Richard Crowe]

We all know that Craigslist is NOT the place to buy a dog or to even GIVE AWAY a dog.

Maltese Rescue has recently been contacted by a couple who bought a "two year old" Maltese female on Craigslist.  The dog turned out to be eleven years old with a collapsed trachea and serous heart problems.

There have been occasions in which dogs offered free on Craigslist were "adopted" by the scum involved in dog fighting and used as "bait" for the fighting dogs to kill!

UGH!

Very sad....

What surprises me, which I guess I shouldn't be, that 99.9% of the CL ads that I write to giving them info about rescue and what to look for in an adopter (vet records, etc) never contact me. It is all about getting some money in their pockets instead of what is best for their dogs.

My neighbor bought a cute 10 pound dog from Craig's list and the poor baby lives outside..tonight it is chilly here and the poor baby is outside......I have a store credit at pet smart I think I am going to buy it a heated bed otherwise it surely is going to catch pneumonia and die.....

It's poor puppy screams if you try to go near it..I don't know what happen to him before he got sold. ...I have a ladder outside and often climb over and feed him and give water....people stink sometimes

So sad. Never mind people selling a dog on Craig's list, who would buy one?

Sadly, many people still think of dogs as "merchandise", like furniture. Sofas belong on Craig's List, not living creatures.
