    Just saw an ad in a popular website looking for a new home for a dog, black Lab type because the owner is moving house. The dog needs a home by Friday. I hope they are joking about shooting the dog!:mad:

    Just needed to rant somewhere!

    No links to ads allowed in this forum.

    OP if you think there's an issue with the ad - report it to the website it's on.

    Well it might have been said in jest - I doubt someone would actually post up that they'd shoot the dog if it didn't get a new home. Report it anyway, and if you like you could even try ringing the warden in their area and direct them to the ad, if you feel it's a serious threat.

    Stevoman you could also just pm the OP and they could send you the link.

    I know I was horrified when I see it and I do knows its common practice for some people to shoot dogs if they are no longer wanted or in the case of working gundogs if they are not great gundogs.:(

    I have reported ads on there before but all they do is remove the ad.

    Looks like a fake to me - if you put in 'Black Labrador' in search box the first one that comes up is a genuine seller, from 3 hours ago, with the exact same photo that's being used by this 'gone by friday' ad (only 50mins old).

    Yup clearly some sad individual. The upside is though that there's (hopefully) no harm to a dog being done.
