Answer 1

There are far too many scams out there that sound very similar to you situation. Be Careful.

I look at it this way, there are way too many breeders, animal shelters and pets for give away in their area, so be wary.

Also, England has a very strict regulation as far as bringing in animals to the UK. There is a Rabies titer that has to be done, pet passport, deworming and flea/tick verification, quarantine and an International Health Certificate by a USDA Veterinarian. This is an extremely costly and stressful process.

I worked overseas with the Army as a Vet Tech and this was my job sorting out this headache with Service members trying to bring their pets with them to their new duty stations.

I wish you the best of luck, your best bet is to find the puppies homes in your area.

Be aware there are some stateside scams that run similar to the overseas scam as well.

DO NOT bother with the correspondence that say they will give you a check, you deduct the cost of the puppy, and you cash the rest and pay for the shipping.... THAT IS A HUGE SCAM right now.

Good luck finding your puppies a good home.

Answer 2

i wouldn't give a puppy away to anyone i wasn't sure wouldn't be an absolute 100% responsible owner, simply for the puppy's sake. over the internet isn't a bad way to make contacts, but you should probably do some research on these people. why someone from the UK wants one, thats a question you should probably be asking them. its probably not going to be cheap to have a puppy flown overseas. seems like something that would be done for a certain expensive breed of dog, but not for a puppy that was being given away by a stranger. i'd be finding out exactly how serious they are and why they want your puppy and not one a little bit closer to home.

Answer 3

Is it a purebred that you are selling? Then the person might want a specific quality. If it's a mixed breed you are giving away, I would be very leery of someone wanting to adopt from the UK when there are already plenty of pets there needing homes.

When you ship an animal on an airline, they take very good care of them. In the past I've had to provide water in a contained bottle (like a hamster cage type) and food in separate bags. That way if the flight is cancelled or delayed for any reason, they can take care of your animal.

Answer 4

Unless your puppy is of some direct championship lineage and the mom and dad are best of show at westminster type of award winners it is very unusual. Usually this only happens with oversees buyers for top of the line show breeding.

But not for regular pets. Be very careful its not like there are reputable breeders oversees, so it's probably a scam, why would they go to the huge expense.

I personally wouldn't send a pup across the pond even if it was legit. That is a VERY long way.

Answer 5

That's a very common scam. They try it on animal rescues too.

He'll send you the money to ship the puppy. But will "accidentally" write the check for much more than he owes you. So he'll ask you to cash the check, and then send him the difference. When the bank finally realizes that the check is fake, you've sent him quite a lot of money, and you're responsible for it.

Stick to adopting puppies out locally. :)

Answer 7

This is a common scam. Lot's of this going around net lately.

For the safety of the puppy, it is best that you only work with people you can meet in person. Otherwise you really won't have much of a good idea who the puppy is going to anyway or can ensure it is a good match.

Answer 8

Don't do it. This is a scam. I would only adopt puppies out to someone who lived locally. Surely there must be people right there in VA looking to adopt puppies!

Answer 9

Do not ship that puppy overseas. Not only is it a long and hard trip to be placed in cargo at that age, but England is notorious for quaranteeing all animals for long periods of time. Don't waste your time and most definitely don't put that puppy at risk.

Answer 10

Don't do it. Not only is it likely a scam, it's way too hard on the puppy.

Wherever you place the puppies, please make sure they are spayed and neutered, so the next people don't run into the same problem you're having. And hopefully you will have your dogs spayed and neutered as well so you don't have to place puppies again.
