The NJ Humane Society made us aware of the pandemic all of the county of people crusing CraigsList for free of animals with "small rehoming fees" to train their dogs for dog fighting. Please get references for anyone wanting to adopt your dog, kitten, cat, rabbit, Guinea pig as these animals are targeted often for young "fighters" being trained and to "build the confidence of a would be dog fighter."
It took finding 3 bait puppies, gnawed on, bitten, starving, bleeding for me to realize that even in an urban area like NY and vacinty this is the reality today. And, people interested in dog fighting have incentive to pay you for an animal you don't want any longer. A puppy from a dog that is a successful winner/fighter might go for $20,000 or more.
Please make sure you do your research if you love the animal you no longer want?
Here's suggestions from the NJ Humane Society re: rehoming dogs, cats, kittens, rabbits, etc.
1_ get a copy of some kind of identification from the would be adopter
2_ get a list of references (neighbors, coworkers, vet, etc) PRIOR to allowing a stranger to
remove any animal from your care
3_ call the references
4_ ask for an in-home visit prior to and after the placement of your pet in the adopter's home
5_ contact your local shelter/rescue for a list of known animal abusers
Please, we don't want to see puppies like Bella and Buddy torn up with bites, bleeding, fractured skulls, trauma that might last a life time, please use good judgement.
Bait puppies lying on the streets this summer after liters are born may be a health hazard. Do we want them attacked by wild animals, further injured and having kids pick them up as one recent story revealed? A little kid picked up a bleeding, oozing puppy and had the poor little thing inside her jacket to keep it warm. Fortunately, the puppy was saved by this young lady's compassionate efforts. Come summer time, the warm weather furthers the spread of diseases like distemper, parvo, rabies...do we need our wonderful, kind, compassionate kids exposed to diseases like this and endangering pets at home as well as themselves? This may be a possible public health hazard.
Please talk to your kids about this and ask them to come and tell you if they happen across
a little puppy that looks like Buddy did when he was found so you can take caution of using rubber gloves to pick up a puppy and keep it isolated if you have other pets at home, call the Humane Society, the newspapers, tell your doctor that your child may have been exposed to a sick animal, use caution, and, I sincerely hope, you will find the joy we have in saving the life of a precious bait puppy.
Please ask your vet to help you with the expenses of saving a rescued bait puppy as many vets will reduce their fees to help out a bit.
See below. Buddy is wrapped in the leopard print blanket, chewed up, had a deep would on his back paw, one on his neck, 2 over his eyes and his ears were a mess.
Thanks for your help in assisting everyone who loves animals.
Here's Buddy:
