pets for "sale" or "adoption" and the owner says he's $100 OBO..
really or best offer on your sad poor pupp that you're just getting rid of!

sorry had to vent! darn pregnancy hormones! 

If I had to give up my puppy it wouldn't be for the money, I'd give him away if it meant it was to awesome people so maybe they just don't want to detour the "right" family by naming a price. In being hopeful that people are that heartless lol 

I would think that most people who say that are doing so because they don't care so much about the amount of money they are given, they just want to make sure they keep away the people looking for a free dog for nefarious purposes. 

This is sad because people get cute puppies not thinking of the price tag that comes with them.. Not to mention the effort to properly care for them. I have two puppies.. Four and six months.. I could never get rid of them.. They r family members. They love me, and I will never understand how so many people sell there pets. Moving is not a reason.. Having a baby isn't a reason.. There is no reason unless u have failed that dog.. And it's mean.. In that case.. U never should have gotten the dog. I'm so tired of seeing people selling dogs on pys. I totally agree.. 

....smh 

It happens. I don't always agree, but quite honestly with the extremely high euthanasia rate of shelters and rescues being overcrowded, I'd rather give an animal a chance in an "average" home, then to assume it's fate by the other route. I've seen pet owners turn around from uneducated and slightly irresponsible to absolutely amazing. Some have to learn by doing. We are insanely overpopulated with dogs and cats (hello... breeding laws. Where are you?!) so sometimes a home that isn't up to your standards is better than the shot of death. 

Yes there is a high turn over rate for pets around here, some people dont think of the responsibilities that come with owning a dog so they get rid of it. But that is not always the case. Who knows whats going on in the persons life. A pet is still a pet and in my eyes the health and whats best for family (actual people) come before a pet. There is no reason unless u have failed that dog.
There are plenty of reasons a pet should be re-homed other than this. For some people its a extremely hard choice to make, I know some probably could careless but for some this is a very hard and agonizing choice. So sit there on your high horse and say how wrong they are because it makes you feel better. It accomplishes so much. 

I hate it when they say they are PCSing and can't bring their pet, and want to sell their animal. What, North Carolina/Arizona don't allow animals or what?

People are horrible pet owners nowadays. Pisses me off SOOOO much! My two dogs are my children! They spend all their time inside and sleep on Egyptian cotton sheets, they're spoiled! 

I agree that people need to research and really understand the responsibility of owning a per. However, at the same time, I feel like in certain.circumstances, such as severe allergies, like need to.go.to.the hospital allergies, are absolutely a reason to find a home for a pet. There is always an.exception but yes I agree for the most part people don't think before they get a pet

It drives me nuts! I feel so bad for the mommas, seems like the same "breeders" over and over again on PYS.

There are legitimate reasons why a PCS would mean that for the best for the animal it should not go. When we moved to England when I was a kid all animals had to be quarantined (read:kept in a small cage) for 6 months after arrival. We had an old dog who we loved, but we loved her enough to know it wasn't right to put her through that at her age. We found a home for her rather than the alternative because we loved her.

There are other legitimate reasons why it might be the best choice to find a new home for an animal and it doesn't mean that the animal has been failed. Now most people who are rehoming animals do so because they are unwilling to put the time, effort, or money into doing things they should be as animal owners, but that isn't always the case. 

I never said anything about PCSing overseas, I specifically mentioned NC and Arizona...

There is no reason people can't take their pets with them when they move to different bases in the states. NO reason. I honestly can't think of one reason I would have to give my dog up if we moved. 

Blondie I totally agree.. And as for whoever it was that said something about me sitting on a high horse.. And it made me feel better.. Did u saying all of that make u feel better? Did I offend u personally? People on here are so quick to get rude with everyone. We're all military wives right? We all have problems? We're all adults? We all have opinions? Why is it every time I look on here.. Someone always has something mean or rude to say to someone else? Like really... Child's play! I don't understand how our husbands can be in the middle of war and were arguing over little opinions on the Internet. 

I dont understand the "I'm PCSing I can't keep it"
We are leaving for Quantico, 2 kids, 2 dogs and I'm pregant and we did not even consider getting rid of our dogs... We have had so many people tell us "just get rid of your dogs" bc we were having a hard time finding a place to rent that would allow them both of them(big dogs Golden and Lab) So now we are buying a home. because I refuse to just get rid of them like they are a piece of furniture.

I just don't get it... If we were leaving to another country then yes I understand some people can't afford to take the dogs, but selling them is disgusting. At least give them away to a good home! 

You didnt offend me personally. Lack of sleep made me a bit grumpy this morning with my post, Ill admit it but your post saying the only reasoning you see ok with rehoming is if youve failed the dog. Which in my opinion is ridiculous to say. But you are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine. And no we are not all military wives. There are husbands and civilians that are on here too. This is a place for people to post there thoughts and opinions, share information basically whatever they want to say as long as its clean. Its a forum, you dont like it you dont have to come on here. Pretty simple. This same post is posted probably about once a month and it ends up the same way. 

One of the saddest reasons the rescue I worked with would get dogs was when the owner developed serious health problems... or even worse they passed. Things happen in life and I sure wish that we could minimize the times when animals are dumped for no good reason so that the time, effort, and money spent in animal rescue could go towards the cases when it is necessary.

And when I spoke about an out of country PCS it had nothing to do with money. When you have a dog who is at the end of their life and has health problems, placing them in a cage for 6 months without their family would be cruel and I doubt she would have made it. We left her in the loving arms of close friends to finish out her days. 

when i moved to camp pendleton with my hubby i had people me i was crazy for bring my dog. hell we drove from iowa where i lived to texas where we have family to here. and that was in june last year. in a car with no ac. and i made damn sure i had a way to keep my dog cool. but he passed and i plan to get another. but if we pcs somewhere else i will take my dog and cat with me. so pcsing to another state is not a rason to get rid of the animal. unless they are sick or just plan old and then give them to a friend or family member to take care of until they pass on. 

I hate seeing people selling their pets online. There is an adorable yorkie on pys, but the owners can't keep them for whatever reason. My mom and I help with a yorkie rescue and offered to help them out. They want $1200 for their dog that they can't keep and want basically what they paid. Even for the pure bred yorkies thru the rescue the charge is never more than $400 and thats if there was a lot of medical treatment... sigh... how could you sell a family member.

It's sad to see that greed is more important than the dog 

We just got a puppy from a rescue and had to sign a contract saying that if we gave him to anyone but back to them we would have to pay $1000 and if we had to give them back to them we'd have to pay the rehoming fee. I think that's a great idea, might detour people feom getting a puppy for fun. We have no intentions of EVER getting rid of him. We looked at all of the possibilities like deployments, PCSing and getting out and we have plans for it all. I understand sometimes there are legitimate excuses but when getting a dog a person needs to be completely prepared with plans in place. A girl posted the other day "gotta get rid of my dog, we're moving home and my husband won't let me keep him" I wanted to scream. That's not a legitimate reason and really I don't let my husband "tell" me how things are, we discuss them as mature adults. 

Some husbands are more controlling them others but I would ever put up with my husband telling me I had to give up I my dogs or cat. If for some reason I couldn't move them with us (like overseas) my parents would take them until we came up and that was planned the day we got our first dog and talked about when I moved my cat out of my house in with my husband and I. 

We had made plans for our furbabies. Before my husband decided to get out we were faced with PCSing to Japan. I couldn't think of giving up my dog, but I heard its very hard to get your dog from one country to another. So my mom had offered to take in my babies while we gone in Japan for four years. She herself has two rescue yorkies (one is a breeding dog in a puppy mill and the other was a pup that was given up by an older lady). I don't think people think in advance or have a plan for their pups 

Yeah, if we ever get pcs over seas, depending where it is since quarantines are different for different countries, either I would go live with my parents with our dog, or they would take him in and my hubbub and I would go together. You have to always have a plan for those what its when you're a military family. 

Exactly ladies :) plan plan plan. I couldn't give my puppy up for the world, I've only had him for a month and I'm hooked. 

It drives me nuts! I feel so bad for the mommas, seems like the same "breeders" over and over again on PYS.

I have noticed this too. For over the past 6 months I have been trying to gather as much proof as I can showing that there is illegal breeding activity going on PYS. I have already contacted PYS but nothing got done. I am now in touch with a Humane Society and just need to get some more information. Hopefully I'll be able to help stop one "breeder". It isn't much in the grand scheme of things but anything helps, I guess.

PYS cant do anything to stop the scammers much less the breeders that post. All that can be done is flag the item.
. Hopefully I'll be able to help stop one "breeder".
Not that Im saying its right cause I hate seeing a animal used just for repeated breeding and not given any time to heal before litters but how do you know they dont have a breeding permit. All someone has to do to get one is pay $125. 

I've spoken to them. They claim they are not breeders.
