Although I understand everyone feeling outraged, I don't think we need to be too quick to judge. Perhaps the woman is too overwhelmed with all the responsibility, perhaps she is thinking more of the dog than herself and has realized that the household with a toddler and an infant is not what is best for the dog. Perhaps it is financial and with the child coming, she cannot afford to keep the dog in the right environment, perhaps she has been forced to rehome the dog at her husbands insistence, perhaps she is having a difficult pregnancy and isn't physically able to take proper care of the dog.

There are a few things in the ad that make me think that this woman has good intentions. She is only asking for $175 with all the items. The items alone are worth about $100, she is specifically looking for someone that will take the dog as a pet. Is she trying to rehome the dog inappropriately? - probably. Are her intentions good? - kind of sounds like it to me.

Many people have to rehome their dogs for a variety of reasons. Many times it is best for the dog. Personally, I am going to contact her and offer my support and suggestions. Contacting Corgi rescue, suggestions on finding the right home (home visit, spaying the dog, etc.) rather than condemning her out of hand.

JMHO
You have a very good point there. Thank you for that perspective.

Although it always upsets me to see a dog rehomed, I would never guilt the person into keeping the dog. I'd rather see a dog moved to a good loving home, then be stuck at a home where they are neglected.
