Pet Advert Policy

 

 

We do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to advertise a pet for sale, adoption or stud on the website. Also, we do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to use the website to contact an advertiser. If you are advertising a pet via the HuzAds.com website, you must ensure anyone adopting or buying your pet is at least 18 years of age.

We have the right to reject any advertisements and to ban, close, or suspend any user accounts if we believe the user is acting irresponsibly or is not abiding by the posting standards outlined below.

Are you an eligible seller?

  • If you are breeding and advertising dogs for sale and require a dog breeding license from your local council, you need to be registered as a licensed breeder on the site, and provide us with a copy of your license. If we suspect you need to be licensed but you haven't provided your license details, we reserve the right to decline / suspend your adverts and any paid fees will not be refund and also we may report this to your local authority.
  • Any pet(s) you advertise must be owned by yourself. If you are advertising a litter of kittens or puppies, they must be owned and have been bred by yourself. We do not allow the advertising of litters of puppies or kittens that you have bought from third parties for the purpose of selling.
  • Pet shop license holders are not permitted to advertise puppies or kittens for sale, unless you also hold a valid breeding license and that you have bred the pets your yourself in the advertising country.
  • You will clearly state whether you are using the services we offer as a private or company.
  • You must be able to show all puppies and kittens to any prospective owner with their mother and (if possible) their father.
  • All pets for re-homing must be available for viewing at your home or place of business.

We do not allow adverts for pets which offer delivery or any courier service.

Information you must include in the advert

  • Adverts must be posted in the correct category and disclose its full breed. If the pet is a cross breed that must be stated clearly in your description as mixed breed.
  • Photos must be of the actual pet you wish to re-home and not one from the internet or elsewhere. If advertising a litter of puppies or kittens, you must also upload photos of their mum (and dad if possible).
  • If the pet you wish to re-home is registered with any governing body, i.e. Kennel Club for Dogs or GCCF for cats, you must state this in your advertisement and be able to provide all paperwork to verify that registration if required.
  • You have clearly identified all health and welfare issues associated with any animal you wish to re-home.

Lucy's Law
According to Lucy's Law, puppies and kittens must be at least eight weeks old before they are permitted to leave their mother. You must be able to demonstrate the interaction of all puppies and kittens with their mother and, if possible, their father. If you advertise a litter of kittens or puppies, they must be yours and must have been bred by you.

Advert Photos
A picture is worth a thousand words. A minimum of 5 photographs is required for the categories: Litter For Sale and Rehome. The photographs you provide must be of the actual pet(s) you are advertising, within the same environment, not stock photographs found on the internet or elsewhere. If you are advertising a litter of puppies or kittens, you must also include a photo of the mother with her litter, preferably suckling. If possible, include a photo of the father.
