"BOXER GIRL DOG" for sale...

http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/dogs/1772422

Beautiful looking dog, hope nobody is missing her.

Shanao · 10-01-2011 6:20pm

FFS, 'ready for breeding soon'. Asshole.

Zapperzy · 10-01-2011 6:25pm

Yes, 7 months old and ready for breeding, poor things still a puppy herself, no way is she anyways near ready for breeding. Also the left the report sheet (presumably the vaccination card?

) in a car he sold sounds to me like a poor excuse. In another ad he placed 2 weeks ago he stated she was 8 months old. :rolleyes:

SHE BE READY 4 BREADIN

whats this a recipe for kievs? sounds like a traveller giving a baking lesson.

anniehoo · 10-01-2011 6:58pm

Everything about that ad is wrong. God almighty, what "nidles" did she get only 2 weeks ago, presuambly vaccinations and at 7 (8mths) is too old to be only getting the last one and sure the "ready for breading", jesus....enough said :eek: Poor girl.

portgirl123 · 10-01-2011 7:01pm

also if he left vac card in car, sure its easy to get copy of the vet.

DeadlyByDesign · 10-01-2011 7:05pm

My heart goes out to the poor thing, god knows what it is being fed or how its overall condition is. I'd take her in a flash if I had any room. Anyone give him a ring?

sligopark · 10-01-2011 8:05pm

not an expert but thought dogs shouldn't be allowed a litter till around 2 or 3 - like a human - may have a period at twelve but not the done thing to have kids ....

Disgusting ads by disgusting people - donedeal have alot to answer for

Isn't that lovely, using your dog to buy a car :rolleyes:

lrushe · 10-01-2011 8:47pm

Unfortunately if there was nobody buying these dogs there would be no one selling them!

koneko · 10-01-2011 9:05pm

The poor thing

She'll probably end up with puppy farmers and they dont care at all

looking at pictures, the place she is kept is looking like a dive, dirty dingy, pity animals in that kind of place

Tucking Fypo · 10-01-2011 11:46pm

What filthy dirty scumbags those people are.:mad:

I'd love to get that bitch out of that environment. She needs a warm, comfortable bed, not a mucky hell hole like that! If I had the funds I would, there is no right or wrong way with cases like that. Yes, we shouldn't encourage them by buying them, but the thoughts of the alternative is horrible.

I will give him a car to trade (one with the brakes removed :mad:)

goat2 · 11-01-2011 12:58am

the dog is not even seen as a living feeling breathing pet which needs to be looked after in a clean environment, that picture make me sad, the dog looks sad,

Goldenegg · 11-01-2011 1:39am

The dog looks really sad and in one of the photos looks like she is tied up by her leash. I would love to ring his number, arrange to have a look at the dog and if I saw any evidence of cruelty would ring the dspca straight after. Just sickens me.

DeadlyByDesign · 11-01-2011 8:25am

These 2 poor things were on my mind a lot last night. Is there anything we can do here guys? Does anyone know anybody with space to get these 2 lovely animals?

DeadlyByDesign · 11-01-2011 8:33am

I'm gonna send the links to the DSPCA and see what they think. Will keep you informed.

The one that is in pup is in Galway, so you'd have to inform the ISPCA for that one.

Best of luck.

IvySlayer · 11-01-2011 9:58am

Seriously, licensing is needed.

Will help reduce unwanted dogs. Will stop cruelty. Will ensure healthier dogs. Puppy farmers will then actually go to work.

Government can use it to bring in a source of revenue. Registered dogs only, inspections of the dogs, inspection of the dogs living space. Something from the vet where s/he says the dog is healthy enough to breed. Only 2 litters max from each mother!

Am I making sense or just rambling :P

Well that was the hope for the puppy farming bill, but all it seems to be is a revenue stream for the government, as long as people buy a licence, they don't care how many bitches they have, or how they are kept.:(

boxerly · 11-01-2011 2:03pm

I was so upset by those 2 adds,I love boxers and my one is a rescue who was used as a breeding machiene:(.He doesnt even know how long they are in pup for?just goes to show what an idiot he is.I offered to foster her if a rescue could get her but somehow I dont think he will just let her go:(.She looks so sad and cold.She should be in a home with a lovely warm comfy bed especially with her being in pup:(.I reported a few adds and the responce I got was "they are doing nothing illegal" WTF??? that site should be shut down

falabo · 11-01-2011 3:02pm

I weouldnt give him a car for the dog or even cash... in fact I'd love to STEAL THE DOG, rescue her ...

I never stole anything but do you know what, in this case I wouldnt even feel bad about it !!!!

falabo · 11-01-2011 3:03pm

just complained to DoneDeal, we'll see what they have to answer ... and most importantly do they remove those ads as they pretend in their "dog policy"

DeadlyByDesign · 11-01-2011 3:23pm

Anyone try ringing him/her? Have been sorely tempted to.

falabo · 11-01-2011 3:29pm

I am tempted to so so but already have rang someone today who tried to rip me off regarding car purchase, realised its not a private sell at all so I'll elt someone else do it cos I'm very very irrate ;-)

boxerly · 11-01-2011 3:52pm

The add is gone,has any got "owners" number?

boxerly · 11-01-2011 3:57pm

Just got a call back from ispca,they are aware of the dog and will be investigating:)

DeadlyByDesign · 11-01-2011 4:00pm

Just got a mail back thanking me for the inut and that they are following up.

falabo · 11-01-2011 4:15pm

DONEDEAL JUST RANG ME BACK AD HAS BEEN REMOVED !!!

:-))))))

falabo · 11-01-2011 4:26pm

HERE IS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM DONEDEAL

please do not hesitate any ad that you feel is not suitable ....

Hi Fabien,

Thanks for contacting us. I have just left a voicemail for you, your phone rang out so it was obviously a bad time for you. Having reviewed the ad you reported I have removed it from DoneDeal.ie as I felt the conditions the dog was in where not suitable. I have contacted the publisher directly.

In the meantime, if you have any information on this dog I would recommend that you report it to the ISPCA, they are the correct authorities to investigate this further. I see you mentioned in your email that you wanted to "discuss those ads", do you feel there are other ads that we should review. Please feel free to use our "report ad" feature, we do take all reported ads very seriously.

Thanks for your assistance.

All the best

Google the mobile from his ad: 0851978345. His is most likely called Steven, and he lives in Clondalkin.

January · 11-01-2011 5:30pm

I also contacted donedeal about the ad and got a mail back about it being removed

starviewadams · 11-01-2011 5:34pm

This sounds eerily like the donedeal ad,Clondalkin this time though and no photo:

http://www.gumtree.ie/dublin/68/70937068.html

Shanao · 11-01-2011 5:36pm

Its the exact same one, just a different age on the dog. I've already reported that one as well, dunno if it'll do much good though.

Tucking Fypo · 11-01-2011 5:56pm

Don't mean to be harsh, but patting yourselves on the back for getting it removed does nothing. These ads crop up every day. It helps the ISPCA to have them live.

As it happens this was brought to the attention of the ISPCA this afternoon, so on this one hopefully the dog will be lucky. However think twice before complaining to donedeal, they don't really care and it's taken no further. You should always report ads like this direct to the ISPCA cruelty line. 1890 515 515.

MaryK666 · 11-01-2011 6:54pm

The ad for the 7month old boxer bitch is back again on donedeal :mad:

http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/dogs/1800481

I've reported this scumbag - Again!

IvySlayer · 11-01-2011 7:09pm

He's classy, has all her 'needles' but he lost it 'in a car'

I shudder to think what happens if he doesn't sell her.

Whispered · 11-01-2011 7:28pm

If there was a rescue space available for her, how much do you think he'd let her go for? I'd be willing to put some cash to getting her but would have nowhere near 150, and I couldn't keep her, I've got my own boy and a foster coming some time next week. Anybody else fancy getting together and getting her out of there?

Shanao · 11-01-2011 7:33pm

I'm willing to put in some money to getting her out of there. If someone could transport her to Cork I'd be willing to foster her for a while as well.

DeadlyByDesign · 11-01-2011 7:48pm

give me an account number and ill scrape as much as i can together. I would love to see this dog go to a happy home.

Count me in as well. Just PM me bank details. Poor dog, she deserves to get the hell away from that idiot.

Isn't paying this person only rewarding him for mistreating his dog??? Why not see if you can get him to hand her over for free. Most people with such disregard for an animals well being can eventually be persuaded to hand the animal over for nothing as most times they see the animal as a burden.

Whispered · 11-01-2011 10:27pm

Yes I agree lrushe, I would not usually condone paying for a dog like that, considering there are probably 20 more with similar problems on the site right now.

What would you suggest?

January · 11-01-2011 10:57pm

I have to agree, what will come from paying this man for the dog? He'll probably just do the same thing in a couple of weeks and will we buy that dog from him too?

I know it's a hard situation and may people feel helpless, believe me it pulls at my heart as much as anyones but I firmly believe that purchasing animals in this situation is not the answer, it only fuels the fire.

Does this ad ring alarm bells with anyone else?
