http://sighthoundunderground.com/http/free-to-a-good-home-a-fate-worse-than-death/ PLEASE take a moment to read- there is a lot of dogfighting in this area and they look for free dogs or anything under $50. Consider a rescue or shelter, they will screen applicants wanting your pet much better than you or I can. "Certainly, you reason, someone will give it a loving home – and so you post it on Craig’s List. -free to good home- But in the real world, “free to a good home” can be the most terrifying five words in your dog’s life. This approach may expose your loved pet to a life of uncertainty, neglect, abuse or traumatic death. This is not an urban legend – this fate is very real for some unfortunate pets in the U.S. Men and women--yes, women!--searching for dogs to fight or to use as bait for fighting dogs are amazingly creative. They will even bring their children with them when they come to take your beloved dog away. People who torture or kill pets for sport, people who resell them to laboratories for research, even hoarders who believe they’re providing a good home but expose your pet to horrific circumstances all look for “free to good home” pets. The message we’re sending should be very loud and very clear – DO NOT GIVE AWAY YOUR DOG. EVER. We know that sometimes circumstances change and loving, responsible pet owners find themselves unable to care for their dogs. Circumstances change, jobs disappear, owners age and have health issues of their own. Most people recoil at the idea of asking for help--but giving away your pet for free isn’t the answer. There really is "a fate worse than death" waiting for your pet at the other end of that Craig's List ad. Even a humane euthanasia is the better--and kinder--option."
