Excellent link.

Alana · 07-16-2007, 08:45 PM

Oh my...I feel sick

Poor kitties.

That is a good link though.

boysmom · 07-16-2007, 10:35 PM

Excellent link Kim.

I think every one of us should bookmark this link and anytime we see a "free to good home" ad in either Craigslist or where ever. Post the link.

Maybe it will get thru to at least one person.

Payton & Cooper · 07-17-2007, 06:38 AM

Wow. Hard to read, but good to know.

cnoblitt · 07-17-2007, 06:58 AM

That is wonderful information, it made me cry, but it's really good. Maybe Woody could make it a sticky??

BratWorst · 07-17-2007, 09:44 AM

Brutus's story and picture just breaks my heart.

Thanks for the link Kim. Scary people out there.

GussyandHudson · 07-17-2007, 10:55 AM

Very scary people in this world

Poor Brutus! That is a very informative link though.

Woody · 07-17-2007, 11:23 AM

Consider it stuck. Oh my, how many people like that have we had on this board. No need to answer, just food for thought.

PATEX · 07-17-2007, 11:42 AM

Thanks for posting that, Kim! That is one of the two links I like to give out. The other one is this: http://www.petrescue.com/library/find-adopter.htm
It tells people where to advertise, and the library section has a telephone screening form to evaluate people who inquire about the animals.

Buddy's Mama · 11-14-2007, 01:01 PM

Heartbreaking! But, it is something that everyone should think about. I see signs like this everywhere I go and, you really do wonder where the animals will go. It is not always a happy ending and not everyone has good intentions. Thanks for posting this!

I read this posting on a local Kijiji site today and wanted to share. My apologies if it's been posted before.

FREE TO GOOD HOME
After two long years of being on a waiting list for an agility dog, we have been notified by the breeder that, at long last, our number has come up and ...WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY!!!
We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time consuming our new little puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children this weekend! They are described as:
One male - His name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the toilet. Has had Chicken Pox and is current on all shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats everything, is very clean, house trained & gets along well with others. Does not run with scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon.
One female - Her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix) strawberry blonde hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy & can be affectionate. Gets along well with other little girls & little boys but does not like to share her toys and therefore would do best in a one child household. She is a very quick learner and is currently working on her house training - shouldn't take long at all.
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them; that is why we contacted a rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy.
I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real emergency here!!! They MUST be placed in rescue by Sunday night at the latest or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some dark, country road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy.
Sounds just as ridiculous when you have to "rehome" your dog!!

Wow I did not realize that some of that stuff could happen. It just sad how some people treat animals. I wish that the laws were more strict about abuse and neglect. I think that animals are just as human as we are so why should they not get the same respect?

Riggs · 01-12-2009, 10:35 AM

Great info to bring up. Thanks for the link

lovelife81 · 01-14-2009, 03:01 AM

We responded to one of those adds...yes we are guilty of it. One of our puppies, Isis is now hospitalized with Parvo and Hook worms. I can't see myself ever recommending someone getting a puppy from one of those adds. Not unless they are truly willing to spend time and money to make sure they will be healthy dogs.
