About AwwPups

Buy a puppy from a verified breeder, with your deposit held in escrow.

What we do

Verification as the product. Every listed breeder or rescue is identity-verified, premises-verified by video walkthrough, and required to upload genetic health testing for the breed, the dam's health record and the vet's contact for confirmation. Photos are checked against reverse image search to catch reuse. Payments go through escrow released after the puppy is collected, so a deposit is never wired to a stranger. Buyers get a full health record and a lineage they can check.

Who we built it for

  • Families buying a puppy

    Families who want to know the breeder is real and the dog exists before any money changes hands.

  • Responsible breeders

    Breeders who health-test and lose sales to scammers, and want a way to prove they are real.

  • Rescues

    Rescues, who list free, permanently.

The problem

Puppy scams are one of the highest-volume consumer frauds there is: fake listings with stolen photos, deposits wired for dogs that do not exist, and a family that ends up heartbroken and out 800 dollars.

Beyond outright fraud, buyers have no way to distinguish a health-testing breeder from a puppy mill with a nice website, so they guess, and the dogs pay for it.
