Even if BRAT were to be contacted, it seems that pets on Craigslist get transferred very quickly. Could send a message to the owner and suggest that as an option – if placing the animal in a good home is truly their concern, they'll be open to the suggestion.
As I mentioned in my intro post, the recent gal that came into our home is a Craigslist dog, also from the SF Bay Area. I e-mailed within a very short time of the post being put up, and we got the dog. She was not an impulse acquisition, as my partner and I had been looking for a very specific kind of second dog for well over a year.
But since we started looking, I made it a habit to check Craigslist just about every day. There was a rash of Basenjis that seemed to pop up all at roughly the same time. There was someone offering a male and female puppy at $650 apiece, definitely out of line with Craigslist terms of use (listings are only supposed to be rehoming animals with a reasonable fee, not selling animals or soliciting breeding services -- a point of contention that seems to drive a lot of people crazy, if you've ever broadly perused the pet listings). Then there was my gal, and at roughly the same time, a 9-year-old male ex-service Basenji. Then, a couple weeks after the first pair of puppies, the same person offered one last male for $250 (I'm thinking they were dumping the last of an irresponsibly-bred batch).
What worries me about Craigslist pet listings is that they're susceptible to quick sales. I've listed furniture and random household goods that have left my home within HOURS of being listed! That's part of why Craigslist is so great, but it's not what people should expect with animal listings, and it's definitely not the way to go for all breeds. Yet, I went there too. And some great pet owners I know also got their babies from Craigslist, puppies and rescues alike. But it always scares me when I see ads for these 'difficult' breeds like Basenji or Shiba, or large breed dog puppies, or name-brand pit bulls or "teacup" anythings... it's not a forum that inspires confidence in the general public. 
I think it's great that Craigslist listings get reposted here. Just have to move quickly as ads tend to disappear fast.
