Trust & Safety | PetSafe explained for buyers

PetSafe is designed to make paying a deposit for a pet safer and secure.

Instead of sending money directly to a trusted breeder, your deposit is held securely by Freeads.

How it works:

• Send a message to a breeder, for a pet you are interested in rehoming.
• Once they reply a "send deposit request button" is activated in your message thread.
• Click the "send a deposit request" button in your messages to the chosen breeder.
• The breeder can accept or reject this & we notify you instantly.
• If accepted, you can pay the deposit amount requested by the breeder.
• Your deposit is held by Freeads until you have visited the pet.
• Confirm a visit & release your PetSafe deposit, when you're ready to collect your pet.
• The deposit is transferred to the breeder, at which point it is non refundable by Freeads.

Why use PetSafe:

• You stay in control of your deposit.
• All breeders must verify themselves before they can accept PetSafe payments.
• You can cancel at any time prior to releasing your deposit.
• Trusted by thousands of pet buyers & breeders across the UK.

Using PetSafe gives you confidence when reserving a pet and avoids the risks that come with direct payments.
