Scam Prevention

How to Avoid Puppy Scams

At Rose Tiny Dogs, we are committed to helping families find healthy, happy puppies while protecting them from online scams. Unfortunately, puppy scams have become increasingly common, and dishonest individuals often steal photos, videos, and website content from legitimate breeders to deceive unsuspecting buyers.

Some scammers advertise puppies at unrealistically low prices—often between $300 and $800—and promise immediate shipping with little or no verification. Their goal is simply to collect your payment and disappear without delivering a puppy.

By knowing what to look for, you can protect yourself and ensure you’re working with a reputable breeder.

Warning Signs of a Puppy Scam

1. Prices That Are Too Good to Be True

Quality puppies require proper breeding, veterinary care, vaccinations, premium nutrition, and daily socialization. If a puppy is advertised at an extremely low price that seems too good to be true, it is likely a scam.

2. Unsafe Payment Methods

Be cautious if a seller requests payment through gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other unsecured payment methods. Reputable breeders provide secure payment options and clearly explain their payment procedures before any transaction is made.

3. Little or No Puppy Information

A trustworthy breeder should gladly provide recent photos, videos, health records, vaccination details, and answer any questions you may have. If a seller refuses to provide additional information or avoids communicating directly, proceed with caution.

4. Missing Contact Information or Customer Reviews

Always verify that the breeder has a professional website with complete contact information, clear policies, and genuine customer reviews or testimonials. A lack of transparency is often a warning sign.

Tips to Protect Yourself

Before purchasing a puppy, we recommend that you:

  • Review the breeder’s health guarantee and policies.

  • Verify the breeder’s contact information and online presence.
