Important message from the Amarillo Police Department regarding puppy scams.
πΎ **Beware of Puppy Scams!** πΎ
We've noticed an increase in scams involving puppy sales. One common scam involves posts claiming to offer full-blooded breeds for a rehoming fee due to financial reasons. These posts often don't specify the fee and may use photoshopped images.
Please be cautious and follow these tips:
- **Fully check out the seller and their claims.**
- **Never pay before seeing the puppy in person.**
Remember, many wonderful pets at shelters and foster programs need loving homes. If you're set on a specific breed, look for reputable breeders. Do your homework and avoid becoming a scam victim.
Stay safe and adopt responsibly!
