Our platform is dedicated to animal welfare, and we employ several measures to block and remove breeders who fail to meet ethical standards:
Verified Accounts: We highly encourage, and in some cases require, sellers to complete our Identity Verification process. Verified accounts must submit government-issued ID, which ensures accountability and helps us quickly ban fraudulent users.
Account Types: Users must register as a Breeder, Owner (Private Seller), or Shelter/Rescue. This classification helps us monitor users with high listing volumes who are operating as professional breeders.
8-Week Minimum Age Rule: This is a zero-tolerance policy. Listings for puppies or kittens younger than 8 weeks old are instantly flagged and Rejected during our Ad Moderation process to prevent premature separation from the mother.
Health Transparency: Sellers are required to disclose vaccination, microchip, and spay/neuter status, promoting honesty about the pet's health condition.
Active Moderation: All submitted ads pass through a Pending status review by our team, where we actively screen for red flags associated with commercial breeding (e.g., generic descriptions, high volume/low-detail listings, or suspicious photos).
Reporting System: Buyers are empowered to report any ad or user instantly via the Report Ad feature if they suspect animal cruelty, misrepresentation, or any unethical practice. Reports are prioritized for immediate investigation.
