I went back and looked and I agree! He is already happier and he smells better and looks better after his 3 baths.


Thanks! I think they look better too. They look redder in the mornings it seems too... We're just going to have to get them checked out to make sure there's nothing wrong, but I think now that he's cleaner and everything his eyes are probably going to be okay.

Well, I know it wasn't the smartest of things to do, but he actually came off of Craigslist. His owners' friend or someone apparently posted him on there for them and they had to get rid of him because Department of Children's Services told them that they had to get rid of all of their pets. Which now that I think about it, they should have gotten rid of all of them because they weren't caring for any of them very well but anyway... I was browsing on Craigslist since I always browse the pet section to see what kind of ridiculous things people post on there. So there it was "Free Basset Hound, call for more information." So, my mom did because she said she'd always wanted a Basset Hound and I've been trying to convince her to get another dog for a while now. I decided that I was ready to be back to being a 2 dog family as it's been over a year since we lost Roxy and everything.

So, she called, we went and met him and we took him home. I feel like we sort of rescued him since he wasn't in very good conditions at all. So, he's my little free Craigslist rescue dog . He is such a happy dog, too. He's kind of got the whole goofy stupid happy dog, but he's cute, so it's okay

Haha, well the "Clearance Puppies'' are always the best, I would know! Mikey was on clearance in the pet store when his first owners bought him, as I was told by the lady. He was then "Free to us" I love my clearance puppy too! He reminds me of Mikey with his little confused looking face but he is so cute. I love goofy stupid happy dogs! Mike and Duke would get on very well.

Seriously though, I count getting a dog off craigslist (an adult dog) "rescuing" in a way. I mean, if they can't find a home for said dog, where would he end up? Probably a shelter, so you're just one step ahead. I know Mikey was gonna wind up there if we didn't take him.

I support rescuing from shelters over anything. However, I don't think there is anything wrong with getting an adult dog this way. If he didn't find a home he would've ended up at a shelter anyways.
I just don't support buying puppies from BYBs in ads, those are the people trying to make money off their animals and contributing to over population.

Oh, I'd never get a puppy from Craigslist if I was looking for one that way, I learned my lesson with BYBs.

I thought of it as rescuing Dukey Duke too

Oooh hes adorable! congratulations
i like the freckles he has on his nose hehe

Me too Thanks!

The clearance puppies are the best . Duke and Mikey will someday have to become acquainted .

I'm very glad Mikey got rescued too then
