Given away dog on Trade Me for $900
Wendy Sadgrove thought she had given her beloved pet to a "good home"
but only weeks later her basset hound was listed for sale on Trade Me
for $900.
The mother of three, from Waipapa near Kerikeri, reluctantly gave away the three and a half-year-old pedigree basset hound named Simi after a string of tragic events meant she could not keep the playful canine.
She is demanding the dog be returned as she never intended for money to be made out of her unfortunate circumstances.
Mrs Sadgrove said she was widowed last year when her husband died of cancer. Their other family dog, also a basset, died last month.
"Simi needed another dog for company but we couldn't afford to get one. So the only thing to do was give her away to a good home," said an upset Mrs Sadgrove.
She posted on a Facebook group called Northland Grapevine - Info Sharing Group, where people give away or sell items. She wanted a good home for Simi, ideally a loving family with another dog.
