I have a 6 week old male pit bull pup in need of great home. This active little guy will be great for the kids & Family. I am asking for a rehoming fee of $150 O.B.O The fee is to cover the first shots, dewormer and food. (Picture in ad shows guy holding puppy, suspended, by the scruff of its neck)

*** Fantastic: "great non violent home." *shakes head*

*** It's not the ad itself that bothered me (as in the text), it's the fact that the children in the photo are wearing tennis shoes and NO helmets! What the heck???

A Little History: She is Cutting Horse Bred, Hancock/ Doc Bar, Not Too Late to Start on Cows, Would be a Good Jackpot Horse.

**** Once again, it's not necessarily the text of this ad. It's the fact that the person that posted this ad is [supposedly] a professional trainer who advertises [non-stop] on Craigslist. You'd think they would be able to spell "palomino" correctly as well as "Intermediate," "Companion," and "Conformation." Someone should tell him that you don't have to capitalize every word as well.
