You are not allowed to sell a dog on Craigslist. You can ask for an adoption fee. The rehoming fee should be the cost of the spay/neuter surgery the dog should have. If the dog is already spayed/neutered, a small fee to assure you that someone is willing to pay for the dog. Do all of the proper screening. Ask for references. It’s not enough to just ask for them, actually CALL them. Your best option in finding your dog a good home would be to go through a no-kill rescue organization.

Yes, you can charge a small re-homing fee of $ 100 or less. But you cannot sell puppies on Craigslist.

If you read their rules & regulations, you will see what you can & can’t do.

you cant legally sell a dog, but a re-homing fee is ok. what ever you want to sell the dog for thats what the re-homing fee is.

just make sure he goes to a good home ask them questions and make sure they are responsible people.
a lot of dogs that were free to a good home or with a low re-homing fee, are used for fighting or bait training for fighting.

best of luck

You CANNOT sell a dog on craigslist.

You can rehome them and charge a fee to ensure a good home but it cant be an excessive fee or itll be lumped in with the rest of the scum and backyard breeders selling their pets on craigslist and will be flagged.With enough flags the post will be deleted.

“Legally” is completely different than what the rules of the site allow.

Yes, you can “legally” post a dog for sale on CL, but, you’ll be violating the terms of the site.

A small rehoming fee is allowed, but anything over what the local shelter charges is usually flagged and removed.

I think that $ 50-$ 100 is fair, and that $ should go *directly* to your local shelter as a donation. And the dog needs to be fixed and have a ‘take back’ clause meaning that if they can’t keep the dog, it MUST be returned to you.

Answer by BBQ’d Pomchi.. YUM YUM!
you can NOT “sell” dogs

You can charge a “small rehoming fee”.. if the dog is current on all vet care, about $ 50 or so.
