Another one from the: my customer just told me... ...that her neighbor is neglecting her dog to the point that it is considered abuse in her book. The dog she said is all bones and ski. He is a Labrador. And very sickly sad looking creature. She almost screamed, that is how hype she was and she is a huge cat lover and animal advocate so she can't stand it and if I can find him home. I went on craiglist and posted. A lot of people told me it is a bad idea because people prey for free animals there. I personally do not get what can anyone gain even from a pure breed dog except a headache...however... I was crying a little bit thinking of poor huge dog in a small crate all hungry and all...talked to a few people, emailed to animal activists friend...did what I could. Then I had decided to forest this dog and went to meet with him. This is an email I wrote to one of my animal lovers friends: I was feeling like such a fool!
I had just met the dog and his owner.
This animal can kill with his might! he is so energetic, he made me laugh so hard.
There is 23 years old cat in the house, so she takes care of animals.
He is big and so far from being malnourished...he has tons of bones, toys and all over wonderful dog.
I wish I could have a dog like that.
My both Afghan Hounds were so mild and never came up to people so to me this dog is like...I had never had a dog and I don't know dogs! he is so different from what I'd used to in dogs.
I need to find him a good home. that and stop listening to crazy people...
Regards, ------------------------------------
I am still in search for a good hands for him... I remember there was a site with a very fun name for dogsomething and catssomething...I wish someone told me what is that site's name.

call animal control....if it's truly neglect the owner needs to be charged with animal cruelty....posting an animal on Craigslist is one of the worst things you can do - that's where dog fighters look for bait dogs.

This post I can't figure out.
Psycho customer flips out and tells you of abuse of neighbor dog <<but she is not willing to do anything about it or call humane society>>
You put up an ad to adopt out a dog that does not belong to you and that you have never met.
You actually go meet the dog and find out that the dog is fine and healthy.
But you are still looking for a home for the dog?
Translation please.

Loony, you really need to starting keeping your mouth shut and stop sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong.

Why are you still looking for a home for the dog that is fine?
Why do you let crazy people in your store? I guess not so bad as Cawiau's customers, but still.
Why are you leaping into a situation WITHOUT ANY FACTS
You notice i capitalize in case you are hard-of-reading!
You are no Mary Barra!

I'm still stuck on putting an ad on Craigslist for someone else's dog that you never met. LOL What were you going to do when someone showed up to get it? Just go knock on the lady's door and say, "Hi I'm Loony (obviously), this guy is taking your dog".

She loves it but can't keep it. I leaped into situation because I had never thought anyone will make something like that up. I notice you capitalized. I am reading just fine. Who is Mary Barra. And how do you know I am not her? Now my turn. WHY are you thinking that you can talk to me like if I was 12 years old. I am 48 y/old business owner. Please, remember that. And why helping animals is treated here like a disease? What if he WAS abused? I could save him. Luckily he is not abused. I went to make sure. Why slamming?

What I am wondering is if I have a problem, you will not just be my Agony Aunt, but you will go fix it for me?
I would like you to start Loonya Advice column here. We post problems and you answer with solution, including what you are going to do about the troubles. Then we have to argue if we don't want to do what you tell. And maybe by then you have posted our problem to the local Craigslist and all the neighbors know what is going on!!

What if he WAS abused? I could save him. Luckily he is not abused. I went to make sure. Why slamming? You are not 12? I am so sorry. I had you mistaken for emotionally reactive child-like woman. You should be flattered that I think you so young!!!!! You are an emotional woman that wants to fight for justice. But I think you are tricked too easy into doing things that a person won't do for themselves. Your crazy customer only had to make one phone call to address an animal abuse situation that she is seeing EVERY SINGLE DAY. Do you not wonder why your crazy and stupid customer does not do anything about it herself? You will not save the world by doing foolish things with no facts. I would respect you if you said crazy customer tells me this, so that night I go to house and find out dog is fine, crazy customer still crazy. I do not respect posting to adopt someone else's pet away from them. That would be Petnapping. And it is actually illegal. Now, grow up and do some good in the world to fix OUR problems, not your ridiculous customers.

I had already met one person online who gave me his address and phone so I know he is for real. He is fostering animals. I would give him her phone and make them talk and meet and solve the issue. So no one is stealing anydogs, no Petnapping problems, Lilly. Nada! Just can't stand abuse of those who can't fight for themselves.

All you would have had to do was make a call to the humane society. They would have investigated and if needed taken the animal to foster care with the law behind them. Just lining up somebody else to take someone's dog without even discussing it with the owner could have gone very badly.

Just lining up somebody else to take someone's dog without even discussing it with the owner could have gone very badly. You don't really think anyone over there in 'society' cares? I did call. The man from craiglist provided me with a few phones to call about animal cruelty. I had called to ask how they go about animal abuse. They ran me around between departments so I was like WOW! You don't really give a damn, do you? So I went my way. Asked for her phone, spoke with her, found her very nice and not threatening. Said I want to see the dog. Went and saw and now all I want is to find him home. Nothing that you all 'assuming here had happened and now I am very sorry actually I had posted it. Because you are jumping into conclusions assuming that what I said is ALL and nothing else had happened. Very narrominded disposition!!!

So if you are going to walk by abuse - you will keep walking because you don't know abused or it is not you? What a wonderful disposition! NOT! And I do not believe in these 'nice dressed up family' crap...grow up!

And sorry, but the nice family coming to get your dog happens ALL THE TIME on Craigslist ads. We don't have the dog fighting around here, but I know a guy that gets goats off Craigslist all the time that are advertised "Free to a good home". He takes his cute little daughter along and says it will be her pet, then he runs them all through the livestock sale rings every Thursday where they're sold by the pound. Actually, I don't know this guy personally, but I mentioned to a friend of mine that I was thinking of giving my goats away as pets and he told me about him. Even told me his name. But, I'm sure there are plenty more that do the same thing.

there is also a very real story circulating, and I can't remember who the dog was, - I think it's Puppy Doe - but she was 'free to a good home' and was tortured, her tongue cut in half, stabbed, burned, etc. people also look for free kittens to feed to their snakes. I think maybe you better do some more research Looney....and several of us said we would call animal control - who are the proper authorities to handle abuse and neglect cases. and MPL - I wouldn't be so sure that you don't have dog fighting there...

Loony, you really need to starting keeping your mouth shut and stop sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong. An abused animal is everyone's business. Her nose (and anybody who knows of this abuse) DOES belong in it. Minding one's business and keeping one's mouth shut in this type of situation makes that person as bad as the abuser.

I agree that abuse is everyone's business, however, putting the dog on Craigslist is NOT the way to go about being responsive to abuse.

I thought she said the animal was in good condition.
I don't know how you can sell someone else's dog.

NO. you DO NOT get to tell people to get out of your threads, remember? you've been told a whole lotta times.
Also, once you determined the dog was, in fact, NOT being abused, then it ceased to be your business. it's the dog owner's responsibility to find it a new home, not yours.
