6 different dogs we tried to purchase and all we’re time wasters either didn’t answer or disappeared without a trace and customer support was a waste of time . This site is a disgrace.they take your money and in return you get absolutely nothing . They should be shut down there as bad as the scammers and time wasters they support.

Thank you for your review.
We're sorry to read about your experience. Having reviewed our records, we're unable to find any contact from you via our support team or live chat, so we haven't had the opportunity to investigate the concerns you've raised.
Freeads Pets has no control over how quickly breeders rehome their pets or when an advert becomes unavailable after a pet has found a new home. Once a pet has been rehomed, advertisers may remove or close their advert at any time.
If you'd like us to review your experience, please contact us with your account details or reply via Trustpilot. We'll be happy to investigate any genuine concerns.
