Pick up any newspaper or look on any internet classified ads section and you will find people trying to find a new home for their pet. What you may think is the right thing to do for the animal, offering the pet free to a good home is not a very safe thing to do.
It’s hard to believe, but there are many people out there whose only job is to scour the ads for free pets. Acting as a concerned new pet owner, these people will collect your animal and either use it as bait in a dog-fighting ring, or sell it to a lab for research testing! If your pet is unspayed or neutered, the dog could be gathered up by a puppy mill and used for breeding, living a life of isolation and misery. There are also people out there who only want to get their hands on your pet for abuse and/or torture. It does happen, and it happens every single day!
If you value the life of the animal you are trying to rehome, please ask an adoption fee to help weed out these types of people! Isn’t your pet worth that?

Longing for a Canine Companion? Don’t Get Conned! — | |||
For Immediate Release New York, NY – The American Kennel Club® (AKC®) and the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) are warning consumers about scams targeting unsuspecting puppy buyers.Both the AKC and the CBBB have recently received a number of reports from consumers throughout the nation who have lost money after responding to online or newspaper classified advertising. Commonly, the scammer —posing as a breeder—will place an ad offering free or inexpensive puppies. Communicating solely through emails, the scammer may claim that he/she is affiliated with a religious organization and is being relocated to a foreign country and needs to re-home the puppies.“The consumer can be taken in by the sincerity of the scammer, who’ll say that they don’t care about money and just want to find a good home for their beloved puppies,” said Steve Cox, Vice President of communications for the CBBB. “But then the fees for shipping the pet mount up and the consumer can lose hundreds of dollars before realizing they’ve been conned and will never get their puppy.” “This is certainly not the only scam to be aware of, but it is a common one,” says AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson. “Because of the emotional investment, consumers are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of when it comes to a cute cuddly puppy than with any other purchase. A dog is a major investment — a living, breathing being who will rely on you for 10 years or more. Take time to educate yourself on the hallmarks of a legitimate and responsible breeder.” The AKC and BBB offer the following advice:
“If you are sure you are dealing with an actual breeder who has a dog to sell, there are still things to be aware of,” adds Peterson. “If you expect the dog you are buying to be AKC-registrable, you must obtain documentation when you pick up the dog. Be wary of excuses such as ‘AKC hasn’t sent the papers yet.’ If a breeder is doing his paperwork in a timely manner, there is no reason the AKC Dog Registration Application form should not be available, so wait until you receive it before you pay for and take home your puppy. Once you have completed the financial aspect of the transaction, there is little recourse for an unsatisfied buyer.”
