🚨 Puppy Scam Alert! 🚨

🐾 Puppy scams are on the rise in South Africa, and PETport is here to help you avoid falling victim! 🚫

Scammers are targeting families across the country by offering multiple breeds of puppies for sale on websites that look legitimate. These scammers often speak ONLY through WhatsApp and will share static images of puppies, claiming they're potty trained, vaccinated, and ready for adoption. But don’t be fooled! 😡

They will convince you to pay for a "flight stand fee" of around R900, and then claim the puppy is at the airport, needing a special temperature-controlled crate and insurance for R15,000. They promise to refund the crate cost upon delivery—but it's all part of the scam! 🐕✈️💸

What to do:

Always request a video call to see the puppy and its parents before making any payment.
Visit the Puppy Scams in South Africa page for updates on the latest scammers.
If you’re ever in doubt, contact our team directly on WhatsApp at 063 868 7964. We’re always here to help you make safe and informed decisions. 🐾

🚨 Puppy Scams Are on the Rise Again in South Africa! 🚨Attention Pet Parents! 🐾❗️

It’s heartbreaking, but we’ve noticed puppy scams are once again making their way across South Africa—this time, they’re getting even more clever. Scammers are now using fake "adoption and rescue" websites, even referencing KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa), and sadly they’re even using PETport’s Westville branch in Durban as a false reference for their “headquarters.” 😡

For years, we’ve been fighting against these scammers, working tirelessly to have these syndicates shut down, but they keep coming back with new tactics.

It’s crucial that YOU stay vigilant before purchasing a puppy online.
🛑 How to Protect Yourself From Puppy Scams:
1. Ask for a video call: Make sure you see the puppy in real-time with a direct video call. A legitimate seller won’t hesitate to show you their pups face-to-face. 📹🐶
2. Contact PETport directly: If you’re unsure about a website or seller, WhatsApp us at 063 868 7964. We can help you verify if they’re a trustworthy source. 💬
3. Google the number or website: Put "scam" first in your search along with their phone number or website. Often, you’ll find reports from others who’ve been scammed by the same seller. 🔍
4. Follow Puppy Scams South Africa: This amazing resource lists fake puppy scams in real-time. They do an incredible job of keeping the public updated on the latest scam attempts. 📉

Your safety and your puppy’s future are too important to leave to chance. If something feels off, trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and to make sure your pet’s journey is as smooth and safe as possible. 🐾💚

Please share this post to help spread the word and protect fellow pet lovers from falling victim to these heartbreaking scams. Together, we can help put an end to this!

💖 February is Spay & Neuter Month – A Time to Make a Lifelong Impact on Pet Welfare 🐾✨

At PETport, we believe every pet deserves a life full of love, health, and happiness. This month, we’re highlighting the critical importance of spaying and neutering, especially with recent changes to the requirements for dogs returning to South Africa. 🇿🇦

🐕 New South African Pet Travel Requirement: Dogs traveling back to South Africa must be spayed or neuteredto comply with new regulations. This step is vital in preventing overpopulation and ensuring a healthier, happier life for our furry friends. It’s not just about travel—it’s about making a lasting impact on the future of pet welfare.
But this issue goes beyond international travel. Around the world, rescues and organizations like the SPCA are working tirelessly to save pets from the horrors of puppy mills, where dogs as young as four months old are forced to breed—often with their own family members. These poor pups are expected to carry litters and face a lifetime of suffering, simply because of the lack of proper spaying and neutering.

We thank the brave rescue groups and dedicated SPCA staff who tirelessly uncover these abusive situations, rescuing innocent lives and giving them a chance at a better life. 🐾💕

As we raise awareness this month, let’s make a pledge to do our part:
✅ Spay & Neuter Your Pets – To reduce the number of unwanted litters and ensure healthier, happier lives.
✅ Support Rescues & Shelters – Help them continue their crucial work in saving lives and advocating for better treatment.
✅ Educate Others – Share the importance of spaying and neutering with your community.

Together, we can make a world of difference. Let’s stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves and put an end to the cycle of overpopulation. 🐶❤️
