On January 18, 2010 success was achieved. I logged onto Craigslist after thinking I will abandon this site forever. I said to myself, OK just one more try to find that puppy. Up around 6 am to eat breakfast with my 18 year old daughter before she was off to work for the day. We did our normal chit chat and then I signed onto craigslist and found a posting for a 12 week old Cockapoo around 5 pounds. The posting had just been listed within the hour so there was a really good chance with this one. Too early in the morning for people to flagg the posting I guessed. I emailed the listing immediately and the owners responded very quickly. We kept in touch all morning and I requested the name of the vet they claimed to have taken the pup to for its first shots and checkup. They were willing to provide the information and it checked out with their vet that the dog was healthy and ready for its next set of shots within 2 weeks. WOW!!!! This was a real opportunity. A picture was listed on Craigslist to show the family and all agreed that we have to continue pursuing this. We once again contacted the owners and said we would like to adopt the dog that day. Both parties agreed on the time and we picked up the puppy at his home in Tuckerton, NJ from a very nice family.
A very good experience that final day of searching. No more disappointing attempts and we have a very healthy and happy puppy.
