According to the media outlets, the demand for dogs has skyrocketed since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. That is very understandable, as the imposed isolation caused many to understand the value of companionship pets can provide.
In fact, the demand has increased to the point that some shelters have stopped accepting applications to foster animals and breeders say that the waitlists for puppies have quadrupled.
Pet scams are not only risky, but they are also the most heartbreaking kind. To avoid falling prey to such scams, the BBB recommends the following:
Some sellers try to take advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic as an excuse to not meet in person, but a genuine breeder will agree to talk on the phone or video chat. Scammers are likely to try and handle everything through e-mail, as that way their location is more difficult to track. We hope that all the would-be pet owners out there stay vigilant an safe in their search for a new best friend!
