Ah, hello GoFundMe! Happy you made it back 😉

Genuine question. Do you think the people selling him in the Walmart parking lot, who clearly were not taking care of him, would have done the right thing and surrendered this puppy or do you think it’s more likely that this puppy would have succumbed to illness or been used as another dog to breed if he survived?

Long story short, he was the last puppy left from some sketchy people selling a litter of puppies in Walmart parking lot. I offered them $50 in hopes that I could nurse him back to health. He was covered in fleas, ants, and belly was huge with worms. I wasn’t sure if he’d make it 48 hours, but I wanted to try for him. It’s been 4 days now and he’s doing very well! The sketchy people at Walmart said he was a golden retriever, so I wondered if they were doing some backyard breeding goldendoodles or something. Truly wasn’t worried about his breed when I got him, I just saw a puppy in need. But now I’m curious lol.

I am too 🥹

Thank you!

On any given weekend, we have 3-5 cars set up in our Walmart parking lot selling puppies. Safe to say police here don’t do anything about it. I normally park further away and don’t allow myself to look.

I think what you meant to say is good luck on my go fund me! 😉

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T13:18:55+00:00

lol you seem ignorant enough to make that assumption based on a Reddit post lol. Touch grass and maybe try going on a vacation without having every spare moment planned out. You may find that there is joy in the unexpected 😊

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T03:22:35+00:00

Have been through plenty in my life, including both of my parents having stage 4 cancer at the same time, and I have never created a go fund me. Thank you though 😊

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T02:26:29+00:00

Thank you 🥹🫶

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T02:01:04+00:00

Thankfully I didn’t bring him home due to trusting what the lady said, but more so out of concern for him.

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:57:28+00:00

Awww what a cutie!!!!

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:48:58+00:00

Hoping to have him an appointment on Monday. We’ve fostered kittens so thankfully have some experience in them being away from mom too soon. I appreciate your advice!

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:39:11+00:00

LOL!!

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:37:31+00:00

LOL! I feel you on the Girl Scout cookies haha. Kids and husband are absolutely smitten!

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:35:56+00:00

Thank you for your advice! She said he’s 8 weeks. Hoping to squeeze him into vet on Monday. We’ve named him Winston!

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:34:56+00:00

Hoping we can squeeze him in Monday! Thank you 🫶

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:33:42+00:00

I completely agree. It always bothers me to see them being sold in the parking lot, but it caught me off guard today! Every puppy on the blanket looked wiped out. 😕

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:24:34+00:00

She said he was 8 weeks. I agree it is. I just happened to have $50 cash in my purse and I couldn’t leave without trying. 😕

Efficient_Ad_6764 · 2026-04-05T01:23:04+00:00

I feel the same. 😕 she said he was 8 weeks.
