Community guidelines

Petfinnly works because people on both sides, buyers and breeders, adopters and shelters, can trust what they see on the Site. These guidelines describe what we expect.

Listings

• Describe the animal accurately: breed, age, health, and temperament.
• Use real, unedited photos of the actual animal, never stock or misleading images.
• Only list an animal you have a lawful right to sell or rehome.
• Keep listing status current, mark it as no longer available once it's sold or adopted.

Messages and communication

• Communicate the way you'd want to be communicated with, no harassment, spam, or pressure tactics.
• Don't use messaging to advertise unrelated products or services.
• Report any message that feels threatening or unsafe rather than responding in kind.

Profiles

• Represent yourself and your organization honestly, no impersonation.
• Shelters and rescues: keep contact details and adoption process information current.

What happens if guidelines aren't followed

We may remove a listing or piece of content, and in serious or repeated cases suspend an account, that violates these guidelines. Our Terms & Conditions has the full policy. To report a concern, contact us.
