Pawrade.com lists hundreds of puppies for sale on their website. We do not endorse ever buying a puppy online or from a website that lists hundreds of puppies for sale. This is a red flag. This website seems to act as a middleman or broker of sorts connecting families to the breeders they use to supply their puppies.
Pawrade.com states a “No Puppy Mill Pledge” on their website and they also say they have a “Zero Tolerance” for unethical breeders. Many online puppy selling websites have claims such as these, it’s common to see and it’s all very subjective.
Just because a breeder is licensed, does not mean they take good care of their dogs or breed to improve the offspring. We recommend never buying a puppy from a picture and always meet the mother dog and where she lives.
Pawrade.com offers Zoom video chats so you can see the puppy, meet the breeder or the breeders representative and get your questions answered. But, Pawrade.com has policies where they will not let you know breeder information before you pay for the puppy, even a state license number for the breeder. Video chats, videos and photos do not take the place of seeing firsthand.
They have to give them your money before they will give you breeder information which makes it impossible to do your homework and research where your puppy is coming from. We do not feel this puppy buying process is transparent.
Also, in order to reserve a puppy, their PetPay system requires your private information yet they won’t tell you where your puppy is coming from. This seems like a conflict of interest to us in addition to the transaction not being transparent.
