		<description><![CDATA[I got her a little over a week ago and she does fine with my kids but not my other pup. She is 4 years old, UTD on shots, spayed, comes with leash, collar w/rabies tag, 3 outfits, and 1 bag of food. She will need to be taken back in another 2 weeks for her second set of one of her boosters. It is on her paperwork. She also will need to be puppy pad trained as she was used to being in a kennel all day (from her previous owners/breeders) and only knows to do her business where she sleeps at (being honest here as I found out the hard way lol).  I feel so badly because I love her dearly but it is just not fair to her or my other pup as she just does not like him and he is overly inquisitive and wants to play. So she would do good to go somewhere without other dogs. I do not know about cats as I have none. She is pretty calm and does not bark a lot. I will also include a big cage/kennel but the bottom latch is broken so you might need to rig it somehow. Just trying to be honest about the cage lol. She also comes with her AKC papers, and I have not switched over ownership yet. She just got spayed a week ago today. She was also a rescue dog from breeders. Feel free to email me with any other questions as well as the rehoming fee. I am only asking what I paid and no it is not really outrageous lol. Thanks for looking and I hope someone can give her the forever home she needs. It will be sad to see her go. I am already upset enough about having to part with her so please no hatemail. When I got her I was told she was good with other dogs, so I did not know and I WILL NOT send her to a shelter!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok. I can see two sides to this debate however, it clearly states on the terms and conditions that the pets have to be free or a small rehoming fee. If you want to sell your dogs for more then, try kijiji. It's another great classifieds site. Now with that being said, I think that while you own the pet it is your responsibility to provide and care for it. If you get stuck with vet bills and so forth, it's your responsibility not the potential new homes. They are taking the burden off of your hands by taking and caring for your pet that you don't want or can't take care of anymore. I don't think that a rehoming fee assures that the new owner will love the animal anymore than one who doesn't want to pay it. I don't want to pay a rehoming fee so does that make me a potentially "unfit" owner? No it doesn't. I have more than enough to support another pet. I think that if you are asking more than $150 or so then try another site. No harm, no fowl. For not much more than that you can get a purebread with papers and it would also be a puppy nott one that may have been abused or sick in the past. Bottom line, if you're asking too much (and we all know what too much is) then just try another site or you risk getting flagged. If you love your animal, you will go with the best suited not the one who can pay more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I have inherited a bunny and his hutch...am hoping to find someone to take him and his home to their home. $100 for the cage, Bunny is FREE.  My daughter wanted a bunny, I got her one and a cage/hutch.  The hutch is approx. 4 1/2 tall, 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep, has a wire mesh floor, with an aluminum catch pan, comes with bunny "box" water bottle, climbing box, food, hay, treats, and any other bunny stuff I can find here.  Daughter has gone off to college and I can't take care of this poor critter.  I keep up on keeping him fed and watered but I have 4 cats, and 3 dogs, and so I can't take him out of the cage to socialize and play.  He looks so SAD....BUNNIES DESERVE TO BE LOVED, AND PETTED AND PLAYED WITH.... So I told her I'm trying to find Oreo a new home...She is in full agreement ... she doesn't have the time, and has three more years of college before she can settle down and own pets again...Oreo is about 1 1/2 years old, is a black and white domestic, he's tame, but not well socialized any more, he's a bit skittish and jumpy...my cats like to jump up on his house....He's a NICE bunny....he comes to front of the cage for me, and I take a few minutes to pet him and talk to him, but if I take him out I get mugged by the pomerainians and kitty cats...I don't think they want to hurt him, they are curious and they all play together, and they want to play with Oreo too...but I don't want Bunny to have a heart attack, he panics when they all want to sniff at him...If you have a bunch of other pets I wouldn't recommend Oreo for your house but one or two should be okay as long as you're able to introduce them....carefully..  I am not physically able to take apart and clean out this huge bunny house so it is a mess !!!   SERIOUSLY.... So if you think you can take a bunny home and love him and pet him and play with him, please send me an e-mail...this is a long term commitment...and I wish I could keep him but he deserves to be happy]]></description>

His name is Jackson and I'm really sad to have to get rid of him. He's de clawed and neutered. He's very good with my 2 y/o son and will get up and leave instead of swatting when he gets treated too rough.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone, I have a puppy that was the last of her litter, and needs a home.  She is about 9 weeks old, and is a mixed breed of small dogs.  She will not get much bigger then she is, and she is eatting solid food, and will potty outside if you take her. She is very health, and loving, but a little shy.  We are asking 80.00 rehoming fee to insure that she goes to a good home, and to help cover the last of her mama's spay bill.  So if you think you would like to give her a loving home, please feel free to e-mail me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a young male Chinchilla with a tri level cage. His name is Archie, and he was born in september of 2009, so he is a youngster still. I try to handle him as much as possible, but he is still a little skittish. He's a very playful little guy, who loves to have treats, and he loves playing on his wheel. I'm rehoming him because I just got a new job and I find that I don't have the time to play with him like I used to. And I don't want him to be in a cage and be unsocialized his whole life.  
<br />

<br />
I am asking a reasonable rehoming fee.  I bought the cage from petsmart a month ago and it is still in great shape. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions, or if you want to stop by to meet him I am available most evenings after 5.  And wednesday all day. 
<br />

<br />
He would come with, two food bowls, the tri-level cage, a glass water bottle, extra bedding, all of his treats, and all the food I have left, which at the moment is getting low, but you can buy Chin food at petsmart/petco for like 8 bucks for a bag that lasts about two months. He has a chube (basically I big paper towel roll) , and a wheel that comes with the cage. I just ran out of the dust bath for him, again you can buy this at any petco/petsmart for around $10 bucks. I don't have a dust house for him, I've just been using an old shoe box. Petco/petsmart sells those as well. 
<br />

<br />
I also have a much smaller cage for sale. Like new condition, could fit a small chin, rabbit or guinea pig. I'll let go for $15 obo. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[dont talk about what you dont know grand cayman blue iguana hybrids are extremely expensive and rare he paid at least 800 easily for this and it is not in any way just another iguana on craigslist these are very very desirable. 
<br />
and really who cares about re-homing fees, this guy just want to be reimbursed for the money that he spent there is nothing wrong about that no matter what the craigslist rules say. get a life dude really
<br />

<br />
re: ***GRAND CAYMAN BLUE IGUANA HYBRID*** (KITSAP) (kitsap)
<br />

<br />
you want 600 for your rehoming fee for your iguana. dude get real. thats not a rehoming fee. thats a sale price!!! doesnt matter what you say you are selling that poor iguana that you dont want any more. anything over 100 dollars is a sale price. why dont you read the craigslist rules before you post an add it says specifically small rehoming fee's ok . i am always seeing iguanas being posted on here because there owners "just dont have time for them or im having a baby" so they need to get rid of the poor iggy. dude grow up. aint no one here on craigslist going to pay you 600 for your iguana.
<br />

<br />

<br />
***GRAND CAYMAN BLUE IGUANA HYBRID*** (KITSAP)
<br />

<br />
Hugo is a male Cyclura Lewisi X Caymanensis hybrid. The Blue Iguana or Grand Cayman Iguana (Cyclura lewisi) is a critically endangered species of lizard of the genus Cyclura endemic to the island of Grand Cayman. They are legally sold to the public as hybrids with Grand Cayman Rock Iguanas. These are beautiful and big iguanas that acquire an awesome blue color as they mature. He is a little over 2 years old, 24? SVT (snout to vent), about half-way grown and already showing a lot of blue. He?s been extremely well taken care of. His diet consists of collard, mustard and turnip greens as well of a mix of green beans, parsnip, different squash types, alfalfa, figs and the occasional fruit treat. He has a voracious appetite! He?s been under a strict regimen of calcium and multivitamins. He?s also been kept under Reptile UV Mercury vapor light bulbs (best out there) and Zoo Med 10.0 fluorescents. His cage is kept in a temperature controlled room (about 80 degrees) that allows him to free roam.
<br />

<br />
Hugo is, for the most part, tame. He will let you pet him once outside his cage. He needs some work to tolerate being picked up and become ?puppy tame?. Cyclura?s are famous for their docile temperament, but like any other reptile, they need work before they get there. The reason I am selling him is because my work schedule does not allow me to handle him as much as I would like to and make him completely docile. I want someone with plenty of iguana handling experience that can give him the time to make him the puppy tame iguana he can be.
<br />

<br />
He was purchased from a reputable breeder in California. These guys can go for up to $1000 when fully grown. Cage and light bulbs as well as supplements are included. These terrible photos don?t do him justice! I have hundreds of pictures of him growing as a hatchling until now. I will accept a re-homing fee of $600. E-mail or call Ed at (360) 930-4537. Serious offers only please! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is Bruen . We hate to let him go but unfortunately we do not have the time for a 3rd dog and this puppy is very energetic and needs a good home, most possibly with big yard. He is not neutered yet but has all his shots. He knows how to sit and lay down... all the good stuff. He's been taken to the dog park and shows NO sign of aggression towards other dogs or people. He is a complete lover  and has been raised with kids.
<br />

<br />
I hope someone will find it in their heart to take him because he deserves more than we can give him. 
<br />

<br />
The picture is not so good, but he is very very cute.
<br />

<br />
For more information please call 253-365-1513]]></description>

Both are litterbox trained, spayed and current on vaccines, worming and health care. Sadly my teen promised to spend tons of time loving and caring for them but its just not happening so i feel they would be happier in a home where they would get TONS of love and attention they deserve. Dezi is almost 2 years old and Daisy is just under 1 year old. These cats are FREE to good home on the condition they are fed the holistic food and supplement i have them on. Must go to home together!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have need to upgrade my fishtank to a bigger one soon, but I don't have a ton of money for the ones I like at petsmart. All I need is a tank and top, can be glass top or lighted, doesn't matter. I would like at least a 20g, but anything bigger would be great as well. I don't need any gravel or filter or anything like that, just simply the tank and top. If you have anything, (preferably free obviously or under $50-$60) let me know! I can take some fish with it if you are trying to rehome fish as well, but they need to be compatible with South-Am Cichlid, Dragon fish, and peacock eel, and around 1-3 inches -OR- they need to be community fish that will be ok in a 10g tank.
<br />

<br />

<br />
**also i would be more than happy to take a stand also, but it has to fit in my scion XA (little hatchback) or you have to be willing to deliver (or meet me at ft lewis visitors center)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My Grandfather just suddenly passed and my grandmother has alzheimers and has to go to a home. Need to find a home for their dog Jo Jo. Looks like a pure bred lab. He's a very sweet and house trained dog. I already have three dogs and don't have the room for him. 
<br />

<br />
No one else in the family is stepping up so this is my last ditch effort for finding him a home before I have to take him to the Humane Society. I'd rather not do this so someone please help!!!
