WHILE LITTERS of puppies and charming young dogs still show up in the shelter system, we are finally beginning to reach a balance in this region between homeless dogs and the number of homes who want them. Most adoptable dogs get new homes or are transferred to a rescue group where the risk of euthanasia is reduced.

The exception has been pit bulls and pit mixes. Instead of declining in numbers like the rest of the dog population, there has been a surge in the breeding of dogs with pit bull backgrounds. These represent a very large percentage of dogs being euthanized in our community, including dogs who were tested and shown to be stable and temperamentally correct.

To discuss the problem, one year ago we organized a Pit Bull Roundtable involving all the shelters we work alongside on this difficult problem.

From each other, we learned that many of these unwanted adult pit bulls were originally purchased as puppies through free online ads. Craigslist, a stellar survivor from the dotcom era, has been a tremendous resource for animal rescue and for owners wishing to rehome their no-longer-wanted companions. But it had also inadvertently become a major source of casually bred pit bull puppies.

The problem was not necessarily that people with dogs couldn’t spay and neuter them — in fact, over the past decade many resources have been developed in the East Bay to increase affordable, and even free, access to spay and neuter surgery.

The increase in pit bulls came because there were people intentionally not altering their dogs in order to create, and sell, litters for profit.

Pit bulls are glamorized in the media as tough, hip dogs. A litter can be profitable if the puppies can be sold with little investment. Unfortunately, few buyers of cute pit bull puppies are prepared for the challenges of a large, demanding dog with a stigma. They wind up in shelters at 1 or 2 years old, usually after being bred again, and we become responsible for their dim futures.

We began seeing an increase in dogs-for-profit about the same time that Craigslist became popular. And not just pit bulls — we see it with any desirable breed. To a shelter, there is no difference between a poor breeder of pit bulls or poodles. Dogs being bred for money, without regard for temperament or the owner’s ability to keep the dog, just adds to the problem.

Buyers who jumped on the Dalmatian bandwagon were shocked to find that they can be hyperactive, unlike the docile pups portrayed in “101 Dalmatians.” People clamoring for “pocket dogs” after seeing “Legally Blonde” were surprised to learn just how fragile they are. Young adults who fall in love with a pit bull puppy might not be prepared for the challenges of renting with a dog many landlords don’t like.

All breeders aren’t bad, just the ones in it solely to make money, because that overshadows the best interest of the dog. Good breeders get client referrals and have waiting lists of buyers before the litters are planned. They interview prospective buyers because just having the cash is not enough. They require that less-than-perfect examples of the breed be spayed or neutered, because they don’t want a generation of Labrador retrievers with bad hips or Cavalier King Charles spaniels with heart problems.

Good breeders don’t have to advertise, and certainly don’t have to advertise for free on Craigslist. And because life can be unpredictable, they take back any dog that is at risk for being homeless.

So, Craigslist had a challenge: How to maintain the community flavor of the user-policed site, but also ensure that they were not enabling the poor treatment of pets. Craig Newmark and his talented team did the right thing: They added “No animal sales please — rehoming with small adoption fee OK” to their Web site. That is all it took.

Today, responsible breeders realize Craigslist is not an appropriate venue for sales. For those who do try to post animal sales there, Craigslist readers uphold the community “flagging” approach to enforcing posting standards, as they do with all items that are banned from sale on Craigslist such as guns and drugs.

Craigslist’s solution maintains the site’s value to individuals and groups legitimately rehoming unwanted pets, but also throws up a roadblock to individuals seeking to make a profit off the backs of popular puppies.

On behalf of shelters and rescue groups across the Bay Area, and across the country, thank you, Craig.
