Barter possible- Saint Bernard Puppy-microchipped, shots,

Good evening. We are looking to possibly TO THE RIGHT HOME ONLY, CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH do a possible partial barter/ partial cash for our Saint Bernard Puppy. I would be happy to explain. Ben or Benjamin as we named him is amazing. He is gentle sweet smart, easily trained calm and perfect with our children and other animals he has met. The fault is with us only not him. We bit off much more than we could chew in adopting a puppy when we have very young special needs children and a huge house to care for. I assure you our intentions were good, our son was diagnosed with autism and we were looking for a therapy animal. We went along with other suggestions to have a puppy grow with him and it is clear that it is just too much for me. I am home religously and this puppy is easy compared to some others Ive seen (my sisters chi) as far as training goes but it is my fault I cannot adhere to his schedule. For example when he alerts at the door that he needs to go out I am wrist deep in a diaper change. Please dont send us nasty emails this is hard enough and we are losing out for sure. As for Ben, he is a 9wk old purbred Saint Bernard, however he WILL NOT be coming with akc papers as the breeders were selling the puppies for more with the papers. Since been was intended as a therapy animal and scheduled to be nuetered later on (not meant for breeding) we saw no need to have papers and went with the lower price as a family pet instead. Ben just had his first vet check, his vaccines, was microchipped, dewormed and we even had his nails clipped last week at Banfield Pet Hosiptal in Leominster in which we will provide all paperwork for as well as the info to change over his microchip into your name. Bens father is a hefty 179lbs so please be aware that he has the potential to be a very large dog at full size and we believe he will be as last week at his checkup he weighed in at 19lbs and he has definetly grown since then. His paws are huge. As noted Ben is not yet potty trained and quite honestly though young I think he could be already if I could have just adhered to his schedule as he already shows he needs to go out. We basically brought a treat with us outside and everytime he went we would reward him with one. When he has an accident in the home we clean it thoroughly and avoid any praise or pets to him. He has seem to caught on already as when he does have an accident he sulks, and when outside he immedietly looks for his treat :) This is why it breaks my heart and we are parting with him because he is so smart and sweet its not fair he feels like he failed because of my inability. Now as far as what Ben comes with depends on what you'd like to pay for/ barter for. I will explain what I mean. While we expect some loss we have only had him a little over a week and have put close to $2,000 into him and so thus would like to recoup as much as we can back. We do have recipets for eveything including the purchase of Ben so that you know we are honest people. Some items we can return if you are not in need of them, and some we cant. Thus why we say it depends on what you would like for his supplies. We also signed up for a yearly contract at banfield for Ben that we would obviously need to cancel and that cost us $546 , so we would like at least $500 in cash non negotiable to cover this. This is where we say we would consider partial barter for something we would like and cash. As long as there is at least $500 cash to cover the vet bills then we would be willing to work out a barter value on the rest.....As for supplies they are the following:POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO RETURN IF YOU DO NOT WANT THEM(i have listed how much it would knock off asking price next to the item)1.

Please take the time to read this entire ad as we took the time to think and through and write it. Please also be aware though we try to be fair just because you have the money we wont just give off Ben to you. We do want to make sure he goes to a loving family. He is a puppy that will need love and attention and does not deserve to sit alone in a crate all day so if you dont have the family to be with him then he is not for you. If you are interested in our ben and think you can commit to him please feel free to contact us. Thank you!
