This is Petsmiles' latest fill in area called 'WARNINGS'.
If you or anyone you know has had dealings with situations you were not happy with, leave a 'WARNINGS' story here for all other Petsmiles visitors to read about.
Petsmiles are being emailed with reports of puppy farms popping up all over the UK. When seeking pets, rescue or pedigree, please, please, please, speak to as many expert breeders and associations relating to the breeds you are interested in. You will find reputable breeders and pets needing genuine new homes through these 'good-contacts'.
Petsmiles lists all these contacts within our 'SEARCH FOR' yellow bar at the top of every Petsmiles page. A drop down box will list over 100 Classification Titles to choose from...
Most if not all of the emails within Petsmiles' Classifieds FREE-ADS pages will be authentic, but please be diligent and CHECK sources. Due to the power of emailing, many nasty people ship pets illegally. If you check your sources well, your pet will more than likely be happy and healthy. Pets that come from puppy farms or via exporters may die young or become very, very ill.
*** Petsmiles do not knowingly support any dishonourable or illegal pet trade. If any of our editors suspect your authenticity, all of your contact details are permanently banned from this websites' service ***
You automatically expose your FREE-AD to 2,000 daily visitors. They only take 10 seconds to fill in, anyone can apply and they're FREE.
