Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
How are breeders verified?
Every breeder or rescue is identity-verified and premises-verified by video walkthrough, and breeders must upload genetic health testing for the breed, the dam's health record and the vet's contact for confirmation.
How do you catch fake listings?
Photos are checked against reverse image search to catch reuse, alongside identity and premises verification.
How is my deposit protected?
Payments go through escrow and are released after the puppy is collected, so a deposit is never wired to a stranger.
What do buyers pay?
Nothing. AwwPups is free for buyers, always.
What do breeders pay?
25 dollars per verified litter listing, and a 3 percent escrow fee.
Do rescues pay?
No. Rescues list free, permanently.
Why should I trust the puppy listing scam check?
The score counts the checks you have done, worked out in your browser. It cannot tell you whether a listing is genuine, and it does not search images or scam reports; the free Scam Check runs those searches on a listing URL or its photos.
What should you verify before paying a deposit for a puppy?
Answer fourteen questions about the breeder, the listing, the health records and how you are asked to pay. See which checks are done and what to look into before sending money. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
