My question, and I think someone mentioned this, is why are these people getting pets in the first place? Did they not understand what taking care of a pet entails? Too many people think of pets as a novelty, and when the novelty wears off, then off to Craigslist to get rid of them. I'm glad that they actually try to find the pets a home instead of dumping them on the side of the road. The pup we rescued was never placed on CL or anywhere else. The poor guy was just left alone all the time and when the owners were home they were mean to him. Nevertheless, there is still no excuse for people to get pets, tire of them, and then toss them on Craigslist.
