The most distressing one I saw was a week or so ago, a ginger cat looking for a home, the same ad and picture appeared a few times then disappeared. Then a couple of days later there was an ad from the original owner saying that the cat had been homed from them onto someone else who had then posted another ad selling the cat on. Original owners seemed quite distressed as were trying to pass on the likes and dislikes and what food kitty had been on before rehoming to whoever had ended up with it 
So there are people taking on the free ones to then sell on for profit 
It just gets worse and worse.
There's one on there today, 9 month old being given away because the owner is moving. Nothing else in the advert, not even a picture, wonder where that poor little kitty will end up?
That is awful, if only they knew before hand what is likely to happen
we are dealing with a bloke doing this.. he is getting dogs to free homes and selling them on, telling us though he has been dumped with them (he dont realise we see the ads) half of them 3 days later he is calling me and pleaing with me to take them as cant cope. recent one is a bullstaff x staffy pup at 10 months old.. he is threating to hand it in to police as a dangouras dog in which then they will PTS
he called me other night saying the dog had bit him and he had to pull it off, was on his way to police.. I had to drag my kids out at 10.30pm and get my mate down to go down with me.. 10 month pup isnt likely to bite with agression as such and i had feeling its was a lie.. I went down and the dog was in acage, he growled at us but he felt trapped and scared. i corrected him and once he laid down and relaed let him out. he pounded out that cage tail wagging ten to the dozen wanting ,ove and fuss. I went to stroke him and he hit the deck and cowered so bean beaten by last owners
I asked the guy what happened for him to bite and he said he tried getting him back in from the garden and grabbed his harness from behind. I pointed out IF he did bite because of that it was because you grabbed him, he thought you was going to hurt him.. I looked at his hands and asked where the bite marks were as a bigbreed like that if latched on would of caused damage.. there wasnt even a tooth mark or dent! he then hmmd and arred so i knew he was lieing.. The dog is lovely and trys to so hard to please and look for love. I showed him how to handle the dog, that he doesnt even need to touch him to get what he wants as he is treat orientated.. I have found a rescue space and now urgently trying to get transport to Norfolk to get him safe.. We did have stern words with him also and told him he has to stop taking these dogs as one day he wont be so lucky if one does attack! he know I am watching him and I go round frequently. That night I also took from him a rabbit and two giunea pigs together in a cage no bigger than a cat carrier. Its not surpising one of the piggies had broken back legs!
