Gumtree – Pug For Sale, £800

This poor little lad is from a puppy farm and at three years old has become surplus to requirements. Doubtless he has done his due and sired dozens of puppies - probably some of those Pugaliers and Puggles as well as Pugs you see advertised on glossy websites by puppy farmers and dealers, making plenty of money for his unscrupulous owner. He owes them nothing, but still they are greedy.

Not satisfied with what he has earned them to date, they want one last payday – so are advertising him on Gumtree for £800. That is an outrageous price for a three year old dog and the worry is that he will be bought by another puppy farmer. Fortunately, Swansea Pug Rescue are coming to his aid and desperately trying to raise the money to get him out of this awful situation. They have arranged fostering and found a forever home, but can’t take him until the £800 is raised. If you are able to make a contribution to save this poor little guy, however small, please do so.

It won’t surprise anyone to be told that he hasn’t been looked after too well and there are certainly going to be vets bills to meet. Just from the photograph you can see his eyes need attention, and goodness knows what else will be found. He is a desperately sad looking little dog and needs to find a lap and a sofa away from the concrete and weldmesh.

Thank you.
