This doesn't sound good to me. Anyone know anything about this, or anyone in chicago looking for a pup? I instinctively know not to call, cuz I can't take another dog now. I just have a bad feeling about this. |

Poor baby... I wonder why they are giving him up? I would call, because I wouldn't be able to help myself, just to find out why, but like you, it's never a good idea to call unless you're prepared to take another pup! LOL I have ended up with many rescues that way! LOL
Perhaps if you are nearby you could look into it and help make sure he finds the right furever home? |
Alot of Petstores and/or Mills (brokers) will advertise the puppies that they haven't been able to get rid of - they often will pretend to be a consumer who has one excuse or another for getting rid of the puppy (moving, allergies, etc, etc.). Beware!!! |
Oh you're right Kristen, I hadn't thought of that... |
Well..... If anyone is brave enough, the number is 815-332-7172. (I'm not brave at all!!) |
Someone could call and let them know about RESCUE and try and encourage them to place the puppy through RESCUE instead - but that's probably a shot in the dark!
I would avoid calling just to see what's going on - because they may be looking to see what the "turnout" will be and if they are a mill and have a lot of calls - they'll be cueing up the production lines for OES puppies to meet the needs! |
Should I call and find out? I woldn't be any good because I am in NY, but maybe i can get the scoop and see if they would place him in a rescue? |
Just an Update I called today and didn't get an answer... I left a message with my number, but since it would be out of state long distance, I'm not sure they will call me back. I will try to contact them again later... If anyone knows anything else, please let us know! |
Just to update you: The ad is no longer in the paper. Sure hope the little guy got a good home. |
Yes beware. I called one ad in the paper that was local and it turned out to be a pet store. One of our friends knew of it and said it was bad news.
I'm worried, because when we were looking a few months back we called a place in the 815 area code and went to see a female pup. We didn't have a good feeling about the woman selling her (she was haggling on the price and said she was selling for her friend from MO). We didn't takethe pup, though I would've like to gotten her out of there. Unfortunately, I don't think I saved the number. But I know the woman was in the Crete/Monee, IL area. Sue |
