White Bull Terrier
I need to sell my White Bull Terrier. He is 5 years old. A very fun and
family oriented dog. He thinks he is one of the kids. We are moving, and they do not allow pets... Kids hate me... email: ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Unless your dog has a slew of titles or some special skills, your chances of "selling" a 5 yr old dog are probably nil. |

Its not that I want to sell him, I want the person adopting him to know it's
a costly dog, and if they don't have the funds to "purchase" him, they can not care for him. He is VERY spoiled. I am sorry to do this.

He is VERY spoiled. I am sorry to do this. Janet's correct - not many people want 5-year-old dogs, and your best chance for placing him in a good home is to go through a breed rescue organization that does home screening and that attracts adopters with a particular interest in the breed. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - "Some people call you the elites, I call you my base" -- George W Bush, at a black-tie fundraising dinner |

I am sorry to do this. 1) Janet and Melinda are correct. it is in your dog's best interests that you contact breed rescue. 2) requiring the payment of a nominal amount to purchase the dog might weed out possible collectors, but it is no guarantee that the buyer can or will properly care for the dog. every day, ignorant people spend hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars on pet store dogs that they have no clue how to properly care for. -- shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net || http://cat-sidh.blogspot.com I shut my eyes in order to see. -- Paul Gauguin |

That they pay for heartworm treatments, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and all kinds of veterinary care? That they house and feed and train the dogs, often for months? That they carefully screen prospective owners and take the dog back if it doesn't work out? Will you be able to do that, after you've moved? Of course not. So if it doesn't work out, your dog will end up in a shelter, possibly a kill shelter. Believe me, if you are determined not to find a place where your dog can live with you, breed rescue is by far the best alternative. -- Janet Dear Artemesia!

And do I just give them the Dog? I don't think so. So let's get this straight. 1. You're dumping your dog because you're too lazy to find a place that will accept dogs. So obviously, your dog doesn't mean that much to you. 2. You think of your dog in terms of possible profit, instead of in terms of the well-being of the DOG, because lord forbid you ensure putting him in a safe place, you'd rather make money off of him. Need a deposit or something? 3. If you did think in terms of the well-being of the dog (#2), then this whole thread would be totally unneccessary. |

rec.pets.dogs.breeds: [Referring to breed rescue] And do I just give them the Dog? Not always. In many cases you'd also give a monetary donation in appreciation of the work, time, and medical care the rescue contributes to ensure your beloved dog is placed in the right home. I don't think so. OK then. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
