THERE ARE NO LEGITIMATE PET ADS ON CRAIGSLIST.
Craigslist prohibits the sale of cats and dogs on it’s website, but there are literally hundreds of puppy mills and backyard breeders who do so. These people are well aware of how to get around the rules: most of them call the sale “rehoming” if they list a price at all. There are lots of people (myself included) who routinely flag these ads for removal. The breeders re-post them immediately. Breeders aren’t the only problem. Those who view these animals as a commodity by making these purchases are also to blame for perpetuating this cruelty.
If you can find these people again, they can be sued in civil court. Next time, adopt from a shelter. If you can afford to shell out $500 for a designer dog, then be prepared to pay for vet bills and other associated costs. Anyone who chooses to support illegal and unethical businesses relinquishes their right to complain about getting burned.
