*Here is the story, because of my recent illnesses I had to move into an
apartment from my beautiful 5600 sqare foot home because it was just too
much for me to take care of. When I got to the apartment I realized my dog
Lilly enjoyed having a yard just too much. It was also too much for me to
take her in and out all the time. I needed to find a new home for her. I
posted an ad on Craigslist and on petfinder.com and received many
replies..only they really didn't make any sense. These are the only SOME of
the responses I got. It seems that they all have spelling problems..HMM even
doctors who can't spell! Note there was no picture of the dog on
petfinder.com and also I did not ask for any money for her. I'll call this
segment DogSh*t Criminals of the Web. Oh and I got the added bonus from
petfinder of them posting my email address for the world to see (and phone
number mind you) ala no login required.. and now my NEW gmail mailbox I
opened just for this purpose is brimming with spam. Thanks a lot Petfinder!
I guess I can't complain too much though because it was through petfinder
that I did get a good home for her. *

Hello. I saw your ad for Lilly and I would like to help find her a
wonderful forever home. My name is Amy and I am a volunteer for Nikita's
Wish rescue *www.nikitaswish.org* <http://www.nikitaswish.org/> . We would
be willing to foster Lilly until a forever home can be found. We require
potential adopters to fill out an application, we call their vet for a
reference and do a home visit before any animals can be adopted. Please let
us know if we can help Lilly find a wonderful home.
Thank you,
Amy
