A few years ago, we posted some of our adoptable animals. We got a lot of replies from people, but most were looking for free dogs, unaltered dogs, etc. I don't think we have ever gotten a good application from any of those postings.

About the only time we use it now is to post events and to keep an eye out for "free to good home" animals. I always try to offer our re-homing services to private people because I'm always scared of where the animal will end up and our services make sure the animal is altered, vaccinated and the adopters are screened.

It is kind of funny to watch the ads and see how fast some get flagged. Breeders flag the rescue ads, rescue people flag the breeder ads and some people just flag everything.
