I agree with Wolfsoul. The dog looks well cared for so we can't be too harsh on the owner. Yes what she is doing is a little bizarre, but maybe she thinks she's doing the best thing for the animal? She did say they don't have the time for the dog like they thought they would. I think instead of condoning the owner we should help educate and maybe give her some good ideas on how to place the dog without using EBAY. Maybe she thinks if someone is willing to pay that amount of money, that the dog will be well cared for. And like Jordan said, it's really no different then putting an add in the paper, except someone is bidding for your animal, and maybe that is what the lady wanted, as she's gullable and thinks if someone pays a higher price they will take care of her. "Well if they can spend 2,000 bucks for her, they must have enough money to provide vet care, good puppy food, etc." That is how some people think. I think it's our job as animal lovers to help people like this, so that they avoid this in the future. You don't know. She could LOVE this dog. How do you know she doesn't? How do you know she doesn't treat the dog nice, provide a lot of love, and toys etc.?


And just to clarify a lot of petshops hand out papers, as I used to work at a petstore and we did give the owners their AKC, UKC, or CKC papers along with the dogs vet history etc.

But another thing I wanted to mention is that I have been in the Westminster Malls petshop hundreds of times, since well I used to live in Orange County and grew up in Orange County and they take as good care of their dogs as they can. I am not trying to justify pet shops who sell live animals, but I know that they do get pedigreed and registered dogs. I doubt the owners faked the papers, but the breeder could have. It happens all the time.

Anyways, I see the owner lives in Huntington. I used to live there, right on the beach. I better be able to go back to California soon darnet. Especially in the summer. I used to be 2 mins walking distance from the beach, and lets face it, Oregon's coast is nothing compared to California's beaches. Anyways, going way off topic there lol!
