The Dog Sale is an online classified platform that helps users discover pet listings and connect with other users. Since listings and communications are provided by individual users, we strongly encourage everyone to use caution and verify important information before entering into any purchase, sale, adoption, or other arrangement.
Stay Alert When Viewing Listings
Please review each listing carefully before contacting the person who posted it. Information such as the pet’s breed, age, health, vaccination status, location, price, and other details is generally provided by the listing owner. The Dog Sale does not guarantee that every detail in a listing is accurate or independently verified. If something appears unclear, incomplete, or unusual, ask the listing owner for further information before proceeding.
Verify the Pet and the Listing Owner
Where possible, users should see the pet and communicate directly with the listing owner before making any commitment. A phone call or video call can help you better understand the pet and confirm that the information provided in the listing appears genuine. For important matters such as health, vaccination, breed, or medical history, users should request appropriate records or seek advice from a qualified veterinarian where necessary.
Be Careful With Payments
Users should exercise particular caution when someone requests an advance payment, booking amount, delivery charge, registration fee, security deposit, or any other payment before the pet or listing has been properly verified. Do not allow anyone to pressure you into making an immediate payment. Always confirm the identity of the person, the reason for the payment, and the details of the arrangement before transferring money.
Protect Your Personal and Financial Information
Never share your OTP, ATM PIN, CVV, password, online banking credentials, or other sensitive financial information with another user. Be cautious when receiving payment links or messages asking you to verify your bank account, receive money, or make an urgent payment. The Dog Sale does not require users to share passwords, OTPs, PINs, or banking credentials.
Meet Other Users Carefully
If you decide to meet a buyer, seller, adopter, or another user in person, choose a safe and suitable location and, where possible, meet during daylight hours. It is recommended that you inform someone you trust about the meeting and consider taking another person with you. If the situation feels suspicious or uncomfortable, do not proceed with the meeting.
Watch for Suspicious Behaviour
Users should be cautious if a person provides inconsistent information, refuses reasonable verification, avoids showing the pet, uses suspicious photographs, demands immediate payment, offers an unusually low price, or asks for unnecessary personal or financial information. These circumstances do not necessarily prove that a person is fraudulent, but they are reasons to take additional care and verify the information before proceeding.
Verify Documents and Pet Information
Any documents, vaccination records, medical information, ownership details, or certificates shared by another user should be reviewed carefully. The Dog Sale does not guarantee the authenticity of documents uploaded or shared by users. Where the information is important to your decision, you should independently verify it with the relevant professional, veterinary clinic, authority, or organization.
Report Suspicious Listings
If you believe that a listing contains false information, appears fraudulent, violates our policies, or presents a safety concern, please report it to The Dog Sale. When possible, provide the listing details and relevant information so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
Your Safety Comes First
The Dog Sale provides a platform for users to connect, but we do not ordinarily participate in private transactions or arrangements between users. Users are responsible for conducting their own checks and making informed decisions before proceeding with any purchase, sale, adoption, payment, transfer, or other arrangement.
Take your time, verify the information, ask questions, and never make a rushed decision. If something does not feel right, it is better to stop and verify before proceeding.
