    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
