I put a classified ad for "Forever Home" for spayed female chihuahua and a lady by the name of Tavarius Williams contacted me.  She appeared to be very caring and said that she had just lost her chihuahua of 12 years and wanted to give a home to another one.  I called her on Saturday to check on "Zydi" and she said all was well.  Well, it turns out that she has had her plastered all over "Craigslist" for sale along with other dogs.  I went to the Humble Police Department and they said that they could not do anything, I called BARC and they directed me to SPCA who just informed me that they cannot do anything.  She is pretending to be a shelter and probably the dogs are not in good containment.   Her address is in Atascosita. I did microchip her.  Any thoughts on what I can do.  I even called her and offered her $200 cash to get her back.  She must have sold her or she would have taken the money.  Also worried about the other dogs on her property.  Any thoughts??????  Very distressed. 4951

I have contacted the local government agencies trying to have them go out to her property but I have been told she can call herself a shelter and sell the dogs if she wants to.  There are NO laws against it. 4951

I don't think this person posted an ad on KDC, he was just responding to doddlebug's ad... 4951

Do you have a link to one of the classified ads? One of the KDC'ers could attempt to buy the dog, if he still has it. 4951

Did you rehome the dog with an adoption fee of some sort.  Because it looks like this guy is working as a broker for "free to good home" dogs. 4951

One thing I have learned in the rescue world...no dog should be rehomed for 'free'. Rarely anyway. 4951

I was going to ask a fee originally but after hearing her "story" and the fact that she would give her such a good home I told her no fee involved just promised a "Forever HOme" OR, if it didn't work out to please bring her back. I preferred that she spend the money on Zydi instead of buying her.  So sick over this.  Contacting her employer now.  I think that she must have sold her as she had her price "lowered" to $75.  A friend of mine went on Craigslist to try to buy her back but got no response.  My only hope is to try to find who purchased her.  Just was told that she no longer works for the company she has posted on her facebook page. 4951

I don't think you'll get her back.  Pray she will wind up in a good home.
 
You know it's a 'HE', right?  Did you look at the facebook page?
Good detective work, Longstocking.

ALWAYS:
 
Require a vet reference check
Require a home visit
Require a contract
 
When placing an animal. Do not take people for face value when it comes to living, breathing animals. 4951
