Justice...I'm so sorry you've encountered this in trying to find a loving home for you doggie. Did you place this ad for your pet on Petfinder.com?
It's scary.
I was reluctant to place such an ad myself for my Golden Retriever, "Henry," since I didn't want her to end up in an unfit home or tied to a chain, or abused, and that is why I contacted Golden Retriever rescue. I lacked the skill, time, knowledge and patience to train her properly and she was bored with my absence at work. The resouce I contacted does home visits and screenings before placing the dog, as well as Henry going to the prison for training with an inmate.
I see lots of ads of "free to a good home," but who knows how the pet will end up in such a situation.
What kind of dog do you have?
Love
Patty
