Puppy on craigslist - Buffalo, NY

For some silly reason I keep one eye on craigslist in our area for sheepies or other dogs in trouble. This one popped up yesterday:

to loving home only inside dog timid, but playfull female adoption fee 716 801 1039 after 3:30 pm

I would LOVE to take her, but I don't think I can right now. I worry about what kind of person might pick her up on craigslist.
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
I was worried when I saw and add in the Rochester paper about someone selling OES puppies a few weeks back. The area code was for the Buffalo area. I would love to take her but hubby would have a cow with 3 dogs. 2 is our max with all the other animals we have. Has anyone sent the info on to Madeline????? Maybe they would consider rescue.
I don't know if this person is a breeder or bought a puppy and then decided it was too much. I e-mailed but haven't got a response. I will call the number after 3:30 to find out what's going on with her.

We have some dog flippers in the area who have been working through craigslist. I hope it's not one of them. I also don't want the pup to land with one of them.
I sent an email out to someone local that was looking for a puppy a few months back. I don't know if she is still looking or already found a furkid.

Please let us know what you find out...I have gotten a few nice applications from some NY area families in the last
few weeks!
Ok. Just talked to her. She has a 1 year old and a 9 week old. She said the pup is an accidental litter. She only wants $150 for each, which scares me, because of the dog flipping thing...

Ok, but onward...they apparently don't have vaccinations and the 1 yo isn't fixed. She's the momma of the baby. The woman also says they're not fully housebroken, but she may have been referring more to the baby.

Ugh! I'm so upset!

Wonder what happened to the rest of the pups? I don't think it is possible that a 1 year old had a litter :?:
What a cutie pie puppy!
Hoping mom and baby find a good and loving home.
Madeline Erickson is in the area..has anyone contacted her? A nine week old pup? Surely someone is willing to foster it and possibly adopt! Agh...these people get me so upset :twisted:
I sent her and e-mail. I will work on my spouse about the fostering thing....but we already have 3 dogs.

Thanks for everything you've done! If you believe you're at your limit, it's likely best not to bring a new dog in. It has
to be right for everyone or things will be difficult.

Hopefully someone in rescue will talk with the owner or people looking to adopt will find these dogs a great addition.
any updates yet ???
please PM me private....
What's a dog flipper?

It's technically feasible for a one year old to be the dam of a 9 week old puppy. Not likely, but theoretically certainly feasible. Mine don't typically come into season for the first time till they're a year old. Then again, maybe the one year old is closer to two and she just think she's more likely to unload her the younger she sounds.

Does she know what mix the puppy is?

Seeking out free or inexpensive dogs, usually purebred, for the purpose of
reselling them for a profit.
Just spoke to Madeline and the dog warden is now involved in this case. She had three of hers last year and 2 had hip dyplasia so bad they could not be saved. Thank you Kerry for letting Madeline know about this dog, she is trying to stop the lady from breeding. The dog is still on craigslist.
I also saw pics. The MOM has a full tail. She told me she still had 3 pups left.
So glad to hear that Madeline knows. I also called her and left message.

That's horrible - If I was still living in Rochester, i'd help in a heartbeat.
The 1 year old female is now on Ebay Classifieds-
