Due to unforeseen circumstances with working habits having to change I’m regrettably going to have to re home Simba. He’s a lovely puppy who has had both his vaccinations and has been microchipped. He’s been trained basic commands but doesn’t like his crate very much. he’s very smart and playful and likes to chew! hence why lots of toys and his bed and food will be included. we have had him for two weeks and he’s not for the faint hearted but you can tell he’ll make a wonderful adult dog. he’s been health-checked and he is all good to go and his parents scored amazingly high on the dysplasia tests. He is ridge-less not that, that makes him any less adorable. I need him to go to a good home as it’s very distressing having to let him go but it’s out of my control and would be un fair on him to keep him.
Safety Notice: NEVER send a payment or deposit online before viewing the Pet to confirm the advert is genuine. Read our Covid-19 safe buying guide.
Be extra cautious with online transactions!
We encourage you to read these guidelines before buying or adopting a dog.
Carry out the research so you have the necessary knowledge of the pet you are getting. Since owning a dog is a big commitment, you should research about the breed fully to make sure it fits your current lifestyle and budget.
Take time to visit the advertiser's home to confirm if they are genuine. Do not settle for online communications and photos. UK Pets does not verify the authenticity of all advertisers. The advertiser should allow you to personally see the puppies with the puppies' mother. If they keep on giving you excuses why you could not visit their home or the address stated in the advert is not the accurate and permanent location of the pet, consider this a red flag.
Never pay anything online through money transfer companies especially if you have not personally visited the advertiser and seen the puppy, this includes deposit and delivery cost for the puppy. There is also no means to recover your money if issues arise. Before closing a deal, you must have signed a well-defined contract.
The advertiser should only release the puppies when they are 8 weeks old or older. They should be responsible enough to know that separating the puppy from the mother earlier results in medical and behavioural issues.
If you have reasons to believe that an Advertiser is not genuine, please report them to us immediately.
