Pretty cool deal eh, $450 for some puppy accessories and then a free puppy?! Maybe I'll just buy the stuff and pass on the free dog. A corgi x husky would be pretty darn cute, its a good thing they didn't post pictures  Bybs are lovely but... those stubby little rear end in a top hat puppies would be too cute for me.

For $450 from a byb the puppy better be altered and up to date on all its shots, but of course, knowing those guys, they aren't. Oh hey, anyone want a free horse? http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/pet/3471538343.html quote:Free registered arabian horse, she is 17 years old, very well broke to ride, suitable for an advancerd beginner as a step up horse or for an intermediate rider. She will make an excellent 4H horse. Her front heels are lsightly contracted. With two trims she is doing loads better, it should only take one or two more trims to be fixed completely. She needs a stall, no pasture. She has a tendency to founder on green grass but will do fine in a dry lot. Email with any questions! Any bets on whether a kill buyer picks her up?

I'm near Lancaster, and that's the place you'll find the New Holland sales barn. If you Google it, be aware there are graphic and upsetting pictures. It has many meat buyers, and there have been some shady practices in the past. No water, downed horses, injuries. The usual gamut of horror. This poor girl will probably be sold for meat - "I'll use her with my grandkids" stories abound. I can't read these without cringing. Also - idiot owner, kid in a dangerous act, no real control on the mare. Hopefully she gets a good home.

I wish I could find a cheap/free elderly pony to keep my horse company, everyone around here wants way too much for grade "Christmas ponies". I REALLY don't need another mouth to feed, though. Sigh.

UGH quote:Remmie is an adorable tb/draft colt foaled in April of 2012. He is only 8 months old and already has a saddle on his back. Dollars to donuts, someone has been in that saddle and they've already ruined this poor foal's legs. It is important to teach foals manners, but they still need time to be babies. To develop physically and mentally - to learn how to be horses. Especially draft horses who mature a bit slower. http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/grd/3465750285.html

I've seen the result of a boxer and lhasa apso. Love will find a way  Edit for content. Well, here's a thing. quote:My border collie lab mix puppy Leila was stolen Dec.2nd. She was taken from her crate that was outside while I was doing chores. The Oregon Humane Society recieved my dog later that day and didn't call any vets offices to see if someone was missing an obviously cared for and loved puppy. She was adopted the 4th of Dec. I've asked them to give me my dog back several times, because it's in their power to do so, but they refuse to. She answers to Leila, "Leelee", and "Leelee puppy". The OHS renamed her "Lara May". She weighs about 50lbs. and has a small white spot on her chest and chin, with a few strands of white on her legs and flanks. She's 7 months old and is about the size of a fully grown border collie. If you suspect you see her say either of her nicknames and she'll react in a joyful butt wiggling way. There is a reward for anyone who finds her or helps me find her. Please call or email me at XXXXXXXXXX anytime with leads, and not rants on why to get her microchiped. AND TO YOU FLAGGERS,GET A LIFE!!!!!!! I'm trying to get my dog back who was taken from me by cruel hearted people and the OHS who didn't obey the protocol in adopting out animals by evaluating her for a longer time then two days. Which makes me wonder, A) why was her dog crated outside while she was doing chores and B) why didn't she contact OHS herself when her dog went missing? platedlizard fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Dec 16, 2012 |

Don't most shelters hold dogs that were picked up as strays for at least a week before putting them up for adoption? And wouldn't a dog thief keep the dog and not immediately surrender it to a shelter? Lady is nuts. Edit: Looking through my local craigslist, I discovered that "labraheelers" are a thing. ...A thing I want no part in. Giant landsharks!

I mean, day one should be calling all the local shelters and vets to let them know your pet's description in case someone brings one in that looks like it, so unless there are extenuating circumstances (out of town and the sitter let the dog out, etc.), that's usually enough.

When the owners didn't come for her, they released her to me to be adopted. I guess it varies, but I think most have a waiting period while they try to find the owner. It could be she wasn't spayed and the lady didn't want to pay or something. My ACC has a rule where to get back your unneutered dog it is $300. It's $70 if you agree to neuter your unaltered dog instead of taking them back as-is. Seems like a REALLY good policy, except I was told a lot of people just give up their dogs entirely rather than pay.

From the website: Non-Sterilized Dog or Cat Fees: $300 to redeem or have animal sterilized for $70 Daily Board $15 Rabies Vaccination $15 Tag Fee $75 Microchip $20 Medical Fees (if applicable) Transportation Fees (if applicable) The ordinance says: "(4) Fees and costs. The owner of an impounded animal shall pay all impoundment fees, daily boarding costs, medical expenses and other costs related to such impoundment prior to release of the animal. These fees shall be established by the board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the owner of an unaltered dog or cat agrees to have the animal spayed or neutered prior to release from the division, the owner shall pay the impoundment/redemption fee established by the board for sterilized animals."

Superconsndar posted:I think that is a monumentally hosed up policy, holy poo poo. I disagree. It would for responsible owners, but if they are actually responsible then the chances of their dog getting loose should be small. But if they are irresponsible owners, they will either say gently caress it and get the dog neutered and pay the $70, or pay the $300 and be more responsible about letting their dogs wander or keep them better contained in the future. Edit: Missed the part where people just give up the dogs. Still disagree though. Sure, there is a chance the dog might end up being euthanized, but the fact that the people are giving up the dogs entirely instead of paying $70 tells me they shouldn't have had the dogs in the first place. cryingscarf fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Dec 17, 2012 |

If Moses slipped his collar on a walk and I had to pay $300 to get him back because I refuse to neuter him based on a shelter's perpetual THE PUPPIES tears, I would throw the biggest shitfit imaginable. Holding a person's dog ransom until they agree to do what you want based on your organization's dog opinions should not be legal.

It's the board of county commissioners, and the ACC (as "an entity of the board of county commissioners") is required by law to collect it. Argue against the law all you like, but the ACC literally doesn't have a choice in the matter. Ah, that makes more sense if it's an actual ordinance. I was reading it as that being some ridiculous shelter policy and couldn't fathom how it was legal/enforceable.

Yeah, I posted the text of the ordinance above. It's definitely a county policy. I think a good idea would be to give people with a registered, up to date, current breeder's license a pass/discount. But I don't know how strictly they inspect/regulate breeding licenses.

Holding a person's dog ransom until they agree to do what you want based on your organization's dog opinions should not be legal. I just look at it as a mandatory fine for having an intact dog running loose, but with an option to lessen the fine by fixing the dog because that's good incentive for owners who really don't care either way. There was an intact male that kept getting out in town (like once a week at least from what I saw) and I would have loved for this system to be in place so the owner would have some sort of consequence for his irresponsible ownership. But, that's all I will say on this now cause it is derailing from the craigslist fun. Most of the obvious trainwreck craigslist postings for my area were already flagged for removal. There has been a noticeable increase in BYBs trying to sell their "BIG BULLBOXERS", malshis, peekapoos etc though. Initially, I thought Whight was some sort of line of pit bulls, and then I realized they were trying to say white.

Oh god yes this. You have no idea. wtftastic, odds are the pup's hearing is fine. It's probably at no more risk of being deaf as the rest of its littermates. Odds are the breeder isn't testing any pups for deafness though.

Bonus points for saying the puppies are "ready" to leave at 4 weeks. Hopefully you're willing to spend a week or two watching them like a hawk and feeding them formula and softened puppy food every few hours, as well as having the fun of trying to track down an open vet during the holidays.

Glad to know its not necessarily true. I think it's kind of a crap shoot. The hearing loss is related to the amount of white shown on the body, and breeders like to see ears fully coloured, but I've seen quite a few heterozygous merle Aussies with proper markings and hearing loss. I think it's a low enough likelihood to not be too worried if you have a mismark with a white ear. Being mindful of it and testing for it would be good though. It's a lovely photo, and the pups are still potatoes, but I don't see any mismarks there.
