Answer 2

1. Fix any health or behavior problems: take the dog to the vet for a thorough checkup (and treatment if necessary); teach the dog manners and a basic command or two such as sit or down.

2. Advertise well: put emphasis on good behavior and health, cute appearance, etc.; ask for a reasonable price (but a price nonetheless to ensure a good home) such as $100.

3. Scan potential buyers: ask that the whole family be present; make sure that the dog will be cared for by a responsible adult; request that the dog be returned to you if necessary (or ask them what they would do if the dog needed to be re-homed for any reason); require a daily walk, fenced backyard, good food, etc.

4. Check up on the dog's new owner frequently: if possible, visit the dog; request updates with pictures; require proof that the dog was spayed/neutered if the dog was unfixed previously.

Hope this helps, and good luck! :)
