Help me

I see. Well, if you're struggling with $300 payment for purchasing the dog, you're gonna be struggling to maintain the cost of keeping a dog. It sounds like a sweet idea, but are you ready for the responsibility?

It doesn't have to be this specific breed, but I need to make sure it's a small dog

That shouldn't be an excuse for this. I mean, i understand, i don't live in a argentina so i don't know how things are working there. But consider searching online marketplaces for small breeds or that pinscher you want, you might even find some owners that can provide you free stuff alongside the dog.

What's your expectation for energetic?

I'd suggest something like a Beagle/Beagle mix. 15-30lb range. Affectionate, friendly to strangers (so your dog won't bite/bark at your kids friends). Playful and has energy, but also capable of mellowing out for nap/bedtime. Most dogs will be able to keep up with energetic kids. And you will end up being the primary care taker for walks and the like.

A prague ratter is also likely to have similar issues to the Pinscher.

I already read but can't see a reason to not adopt?

"I am raising money to buy... If you can help me just sharing the campaign I be graceful"
It's sort of asking money, IMHO.

Staff has explicitly stated in the past that soliciting for charities is prohibited (as with similar things, an exception was given for references made within giveaway descriptions) and, further, have shut down plenty of charity-related threads that weren't even directly related to the user in question (nevermind ones that were).

(Example of previous discussion on the matter:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/dAkY8/allow-asking-for-donations-to-causes-not-giveaway-related-ones )

As I recall, even "visit this site and click this button to donate a meal" threads were subject to staff/community debate over permissibility (and I wanna say staff ultimately decided against them? At the very least, haven't seen the related threads up for a very long time now.)

Regardless of how staff decided on that particular matter, the fact that such an off-hand solicitation was in question to begin with, means that a thread like this one (based in personal goals and active monetary solicitation) is almost certainly not going to pass by staff, unless staff expectations on the matter have significantly changed.

As such, while the current rule description is confusing, it'd be best to rely on precedent on this one (at least, if one wants to avoid the risk of suspension).

Of course, as always, where there's any doubt, it's best to talk to staff before making a thread. When one fails to do that [in situations where a topic can be assumed as being intuitive to ask about] it's natural [for anyone in a moderation role] to assume intent by default, which means that it's hard to argue if SG staff applies a suspension for the matter [regardless of how misleading the rules may presently be].

Edit: I probably shouldn't have posted this as a reply to you since I kind of went on a rant that has nothing to do with your comment, but I don't want to delete and move it now because it already has a response. I just wanted you to know that this comment isn't really directed at you :)

Whether you give money directly or just share the link, this thread serves one purpose and that is getting money into the thread creators pocket.

The issue is that if you allow this sort of thread, just like any kind of advertising, there will be lots of it taking over the discussions instead of talking about what the site is meant to be for, gaming.

I am not saying the OP is lying, but another reason why this shouldn't be allowed is because unfortunately people will do anything to get money and lying about this sort of thing is very common, on the internet and out on public streets. People don't like to give their money away, but when you feed them some sob story about someone being sick and not being able to help them, you can guilt them into it. It is especially effective when you talk about helping children, animals, single pregnant mothers, injured war veterans, or the environment.

Haven't you seen the story about the pregnant mother begging for money on the corner with her child and then driving away in a Mercedes? How about the guy who lost both his legs and is rolling around on a dolly only for someone to pull his pants off and show that he was just hiding his legs. There have been numerous stories about GoFundMe scams where the people have been arrested. There was online scams just recently related to the Amazon and Australian wildfires. This stuff happens non stop.

I am definitely not saying that all charity cases are fake, but it is unfortunate that fake begging has become so prevalent because it becomes much harder to know the truth if you want to help someone. They may even post photos as proof for an online campaign, but that means nothing in the modern computing age where it is so easy to fake the photos.

It is 100% against the rules.
Each of the donation stuff got kicked, latest, after a report.

In the earlier days of sg was it ok, later a lot jumped at that train and because none know if the money reach the right destination AND if it reach the person(s) if they use it for the "promised" things, they not allow it anymore.

And at threads all promoting/advertising/begging is anyway forbidden.

I already explained it, I live in a small town, the shelter has only large dogs, there are no puppies or small dogs because people usually sell them.
all my son's needs are covered, those of the dog will also be covered, as I said we had a Daschun, and he was always well taken care of.
the food and cost of the veterinarian in my town are not as high as the cost of the dog, 300 dollars is a lot of money in my country, maybe in other places it is not

Well in Poland you can get animals for free or pay what you want to support the pet shelter but there is no fixed price for anything.

I never said I had financial problems, I only had a complicated month, that does not imply that I have money to take care of a dog as it should, what I do not have is the amount necessary to obtain it, this month I had many more expenses than expected normally

but it is easier to judge than to read and understand what the situation is or put oneself in the place of the other

If you don't have financial problems, then buy the dog yourself when you do have money. It's that simple. If you can afford to feed it, then you can afford to save up the money to buy him. If I have 3 bills to pay this month, I pay them, then I get what I need next month. Posting a sob story and begging for money does not make me feel sorry for you because you just said you have no financial difficulties. None of that makes any sense to me.

Maybe you think 300 dollars is nothing to people living in Europe or North America, but it is a lot of money. I never understand how people living in what are considered "poorer" countries think that people living in "richer" countries have lots of money to give to them. At the end of the day, the cost of living is much higher in a country like mine.

In 2017, I was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc. I had no medical insurance and could not afford the surgery. I could not work either. I was put on a waiting list for public healthcare. In late 2018, I decided I had waited long enough and decided to go down the route of getting a loan and going abroad to have it done privately. Ended up getting the surgery in Northern Ireland in 2019 for €13,500. Do you think I went and posted my sob story on the internet and expected people to give me money? No. I took out a loan with my credit union. Now, I got some of my money back via crossborder, but still paying off the remainder of that loan. I am still not fit enough to go back to work since I had some complications after surgery that meant healing didn't happen the way it should. It's been a long road for me, but I do my best and ask nothing of anyone.

I get annoyed when I see posts like this because a designer/purebred dog is a luxury item, it is not a need. I can't afford to buy a puppy myself in my current financial predicament, but even if I could, when the time comes to fill the shoes of my much-loved dog who died last year, we'll be looking to get a rescue puppy. I won't be getting one until I return to work though because they still cost money to feed and take care of properly. Besides, mixed breeds are often stronger than pure breeds anyway because their genepool isn't so small. I will not be feeding into the puppy mill industry by buying.
