Things you should know about buying or adopting a pet

While pet sellers can be reputable individuals or breeders who treat their animals well, the ease of selling pets over the Internet also makes it attractive to careless, irresponsible breeders and scammers. To protect yourself, you must be careful and believe only what you see and not what you are told. It is highly recommended to arrange for an inspection of the home where the pets are bred. This allows you to check that the mother and other animals are living in suitable conditions, being well cared for, and are in good health.

Remember that the Kijiji Pets section is NOT intended to facilitate uncontrolled breeding, irresponsible commercial pet trading, trade of dogs or any other animal for the purpose of fighting or stud services. Any ads that are suspected of promoting this kind of activity or reported to us will be removed. Users are responsible for adhering to the applicable conditions in relation to adopting, buying, selling or listing of an ad on Kijiji.

Kijiji encourages, where possible, the adoption of pets and encourages all pet owners to have their animals spayed or neutered as well as microchipped.

When looking for a pet, it is important to meet the breeder or seller and examine the pet before agreeing to anything. Since Kijiji is local to your community, this should be easy to arrange. Never adopt/buy a pet from someone who is unwilling to let you see how and where the animal is living!

Description

This is extremely difficult for me. I love this dog very much. He's extremely loving and sweet. All he wants to do is just hangout with me and do whatever I'm doing, whether that's something really active outside or just being lazy at home, as long as he gets at least one walk a day.

But, unfortunately, he actually bit my 7 month old daughter in the face when she reached for one of his toys. I was sitting right there with the two of them, as we had been before many times, but he just snapped and it happened so fast. She ended up needing three stitches, and is okay now. But we can't keep him and we've been trying to find him a home with friends for months with no luck. I had one friend's mom try to take him in, but he ended up biting one of her cats. The cat is okay, but he was traumatized so we ended up taking him back. So, he really needs a home with no kids, cats, or other small animals. He has a high prey drive for cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc. So other small animals like birds, ferrets, etc., probably wouldn't work either. He's lived with my two cats for years, but it was a very specific introduction over a few weeks before they even actually met, so it is possible, but not ideal. He gets along with most other dogs, but I definitely wouldn't say all.

So this is our last hope because I really don't want him to go to a shelter. He is a very sensitive boy, and I know any new transition will be hard for him.

If you are interested, message me and I'll tell you more details about him.
