These days, when you finally feel like you are ready to be a dog parent, you can just hop on the internet and browse what options the shelters have available. Sometimes, though we don't recommend it, Craigslist can be a good option. This is because dogs that come from happy places, like a farm whose barn dog just had a litter, or a family who adopt a shelter dog they didn't know was pregnant and now they need to find homes for the puppies, or even just someone going through a hard time who can't take care of their furbaby anymore and want to assure it goes to a happy home. The downside about Craigslist are the abusive breeders that turn to that site to sell. Again, not highly recommended to use Craigslist, but if you do, please be sure you're going through reputable person.

Anyways, a new trend has started on TikTok where people who got their dog off of Craigslist are sharing their pup's before and after photos. The person they got the dog from would say the dog was one breed, but then as the canine got older, they would turn out to be something completely different. It truly is a guessing game when it comes to Craigslist (and that also goes for furniture).

No matter who these pups turned out, however, these dog parents are truly in love with them and are happy they were united. In fact, they feel like they scammed the Craigslist person because their sweet whatever-breed was the best thing that ever happened to them. Check out the before and after photos below!
