    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

While we are on the subject of animals.


In your tag line you state "1.0 Hubby ~ 3.8.1 Leo ~ 3.3.1 Crestie ~ 0.1 PitBull "

No mention of hedgehogs. So where are the hedgehogs coming from in your ads?

Are you selling these rescues?

I have a female hedgehog that is an adult no longer able to breed. She has only had 1 litter in her life and would make a great pet. She is 3 years old.

Is that what the rescue network had in mind for providing suitable rescuers? To offer them up for trade to anyone?
 
As stated earlier I went to the sheriffs department. There are no warrants on file in my name. This is why it took a bit to reply.

I asked why would other people be getting replies over the phone that there are warrants on file and the only answer I got was that either they haven't called or that the person they are speaking to is not looking at the correct information. Honestly I don't care cause I've been told by so many different offices that there are no warrants, although I find it odd 2 people are saying that they have called and there are warrants. I'll stick with what I've been told by over a dozen people that work in these offices.

I did breed hedgehogs and rescue on the side. Many hedgehog breeders do this and the only hedgehogs I have sold have lineage and are not rescues. The rescues are adopted through application process unlike the hedgehogs I breed. I have no hedgehogs other than rescues currently. I sold my breeders and I do not list rescues as my pets since they are property of HWS and NWFHR.

I'm still awaiting any proof of the check Renee says she has and I find it odd she is not replying or posting any proof of this check. Also I find it very odd that there is nothing in the court records indicating she has filed the check with them. If anyone else sees something different please share. Until then I am still saying Renee's claim is a lie. If it were true why is nothing showing up and why cant I be given any proof that she received a check with my name on it?

Also, I still have yet to hear an answer as to why anyone would sell anything to a person with one name and accept a check with another name on it?

Is this the lawyer you are using?
 
I searched the attorneys in Tallahassee, Fl and cannot find his name anywhere. What's his address and phone number?

Dennis is well respected and honest with info he finds.
In my household (including myself) there are backgrounds of Law Enforcement, Corrections, and Detectives.
What we stated, with re. to what was said by Bay Co. Sheriff's Office, is correct.
 
Candace, You care to explain why in your auction you shared the same IP with the person that raised your auction up? You guys were posting from the same IP 9 minutes apart then yours changed at the end of the auction and you didn't use it again. Seems strange the only two people that have used that address posted in the same thread and nobody else has ever used it before or since.

I work in a police dept and can confirm that what Dennis says is true. Not that Dennis needs me to.
 
By the way, you have used many IP addresses. The one time you used that one is in that thread minutes apart from the person bidding on your auction using the same.
 
The day of auction I was using a public computer on a college campus. I can tell you that the winner of the auction was that user and it took him a week and a half to email me back. As for the IP address the only thing I know to explain this is I was using a public computer.

As for any and all legal documents found on the web I've already spoken to all the legal offices and have stated what is on file as of today.
