Unless the dog has about 3 months to live here . It is cheaper to buy a random mutt off CL than what the humane shelter wants . They blew 250k endowment in 2 years with new management .

That is an unfortunate situation, but CL is a terrible way to find pets, for some of the pets. It IS very attractive to sadists who want something to torture, etc.
There are usually alternatives to a local shelter. You can search by area code at petfinder.org, and generally find small local rescue groups.
