I worry that aliens would judge us by Craig's List

No seriously there is some messed up stuff on there! I saw a post where some guy wanted to experience a tie with a dog...!!!!! Flagged it but still.

People giving up pets for the silliest of reasons. Now I am not one to say a dog should NEVER be rehomed. There are times when it is necessary and there are the right ways to go about it.

So what changed in 4 weeks that you can't keep the puppy? If the person had bought from a reputable breeder or adopted from a rescue she could give the puppy back and not have to worry about finding the right home. At least the ad doesnt' say the pup is a "Jug". I can't imagine what the purpose between crossing those two breeds are.... (I love both breeds but they are so opposite)

And really if you aren't ready for a puppy but get one anyway are you really qualified for picking out a new home? Puppies should not be impulse buys.

"We are trying to find a good home for a 4 month old Jack Russel Terrier Puppy. She has had her first shots and has been dewormed. She is very loving and would make a perfect family dog."

Sooo once again.. WTF? If she would make the perfect family dog why not keep her? Where did you get your JRT that you didn't sign a contract with the breeder? So you bought a skeezily bred JRT pup and now want to dump it after a couple of months..... nice!

And these are tame by CL standards (of course when you are looking the weirdos are not posting)

Anyone have some good examples?
