Selling dogs and cats is not something I want to have on the sudoroom
discuss list. It is banned from Craigslist for good reason, because
monetizing cats and dogs based on their "breeding" means that many more
dogs are dumped on the streets because they don't have the right "look",
flooding the shelters with unwanted breeding experiments.
this is also why some cities have made pet stores selling dogs and cats
illegal:

there are plenty of dogs and cats at the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, in East Oakland and another one in Berkeley too. The
streets are "littered" with them.

if you want to be grossed out, search craigslist "pets" and see people
asking "400 or best offer" for puppies, and then flag them prohibited.

Bella is the one on the right - with the limp right ear
Adorable Yorkshire Terrier Available /Adoption
<https://lorindistrict.nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=33609436>
Bella will turn 3 years old in spring of 2017. Her life expectancy is 15+ years. She is
a pure bread Yorkie with long legs and a floppy right ear. She is house broken. She is so
sweet with people and children. Bella weighs about 10 lbs. Eats 1/3 cup "Hunden
Flocken” dry dog food mixed with chicken scrap & hot water once daily. Bella is good
on a leash when we go for walks and she relieves herself in out back yard. Her poops
resemble marbles - firm to pick up.
I'm looking for a good local home, so I can stay in touch, help if you want to go out
of town with boarding and will offer free biweekly grooming/ bathing if you adopt her.
She would be a perfect first dog for a family with small children. She seems fine with
cats & chickens. I do think she catches rats in our back yard - but that could be our
other dog. I've had dogs my whole life and I'm happy to teach you how to care for
a dog if it is your first time.
I paid quite a lot for her 1 year ago. There will be a rehoming fee to adopt her.
I love Bella and don't want to give her up but her frisky aggression toward our other
dog is not conducive to peaceful living. I Have been looking for an experienced animal
aggression behaviorist but haven't heard back after leaving lots of messages. My
husband and 11 yr old son "had it" a while ago and I have to say I'm at the
end of my rope.
She is a sweet sweet dog and I wish I could keep her so if you are an expert level dog
behaviorist or trainer - your advice is welcome. When I adopted Bella the CL post said
"she must be an only dog" and now I understand why. I though I could change her
but I made a mistake.
If you are interested in adopting Bella as an only dog or can help break her aggression
toward our other dog please call me, Alice 415-272-0596
