Beware of Posting Your Pet on Craigslist

Colorado Springs CO

Description

Dog fighters scour Craigslist and Facebook all day looking for pets they can use as bait. Dog fighters and animal abusers will dress nicely, show up to meet your pet, act courteously, promise to love the animal, and lie the entire time. Once they have the animal you listed online, it's highly likely that the animal will wind up dying a miserable death. This is how dog fighters train their animals to fight and kill. Craigslist is a gold mine to animal abusers and dog fighters; it is the cheapest and easiest way to get what they need. Most shelters require references, home checks, and adoption fees. Dog fighters and animal abusers are highly unlikely to get around all these requirements.  If you absolutely insist on giving your animal away online, make sure you require a fee. Dog fighters will not pay hundreds of dollars for your pet. They want to train their animals to fight as cheaply as possible; why pay for an animal that won't survive long anyway? Keep your pets safe. Never list online; instead, contact shelters and rescue groups, family members and friends.
