I don't use Craigslist (it's too disorganized for me), so I've never seen the pet section. This breaks my heart though. It's one thing to be in a serious situation where you can no longer take care of your pet, but these excuses are pathetic. Your kid wants a new pet? Gee, it's not like a dog is the last years bestselling toy.
I had an online friend who moved a few years back. She gave her dog away because it was too hard to move with a dog. Then, after they settled in they got another dog. I really wanted to tell this person what I thought. I can't see how people replace pets so easily.
I hope the dogs on Craigslist have found good homes with people who are prepared for the commitment.
