Thank you for your review.

We're pleased to hear your advert attracted plenty of interest. While a high number of views doesn't always result in enquiries, every pet, price point and location is different, and buyers often compare several adverts before getting in touch.

We appreciate you choosing Freeads and wish you every success in finding the perfect forever home.
