An adorable, healthy goldendoodle puppy for only $100? Is that even possible? Probably not. When you see something that seems too good to be true, slightly suspicious or just plain wrong, the CommuniTeam at KSL Classifieds wants to know about it.

In order to keep KSL Classifieds a safe and trusted marketplace, we remove any listings that are deemed fraudulent or otherwise violate our Terms of Use. When it comes to our pets page, this is especially important. Not only do we want to make sure you are buying the dog you think you are, but also that the canines are coming from a safe place.

Reasons to report

If you see something that makes you leery, you can help us out. Please report a dog listing if you suspect:

  • Fraud. If something feels off, it probably is. For example, do the images look fake? Is the seller refusing to show you medical records?
  • Incorrect pricing. If the price is much lower (or higher) than other listings for similar dogs, it could be a scam.
  • Guardian listing. This is when a breeder asks you to be the dog’s caretaker, but they retain the breeding rights. This practice can put animals in harmful situations. Therefore, no such listings are permitted on KSL Classifieds.
  • Mistreatment. If you suspect the dog is being mistreated or harmed in any way. For example, the dog seller always has a new litter available (overbreeding the mother).
  • Duplicate listing. No more than one listing per dog is allowed.

How to flag a listing on KSL Classifieds

When you see a dog listing that does not meet our Terms of Use, or concerns you about the animal’s well-being, click or tap the flag icon in the upper right corner of the listing. Easy! You’ll be asked to fill out a super short form. Then, we can investigate and remove inappropriate listings promptly.
