It’s only legal to buy puppies and kittens from licensed breeders, or adopt them from a rescue.

But you might still see listings on sites like Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace. And there& #39;s no way to tell if these are legit sellers or not.
The scam works when the fraudster asks for a & #39;deposit& #39; to hold onto your beloved pet-to-be. This can be around £200-300. But then the seller goes quiet and you never see them, or your money again.
If you see a dodgy listing, please report it. And only buy from licensed sellers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐶" title="Hundegesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Hundegesicht">
