At GhanaYe-Classifieds, we take our responsibilities towards protecting animal welfare seriously. The Pets category is here to help people find good, safe, and caring homes for their pets. In order to protect animal welfare, please respect the following rules when posting an ad on GhanaYe-Classifieds:

  • Members are allowed 2 rehoming adverts within a 12-month period. Ads exceeding this limit may be removed. Note: A litter can be listed in one ad as long as all individuals are included in the photos. Multiple litters from different parents or born at different times may not be listed in the same ad.
  • All pets must be advertised with a price on GhanaYe-Classifieds. “Swapping” or “Exchange” of Pets is also prohibited.
  • Pet Wanted ads are not permitted on GhanaYe-Classifieds.
  • A pet is for life. As such, we do not allow the advertisement of animals as Christmas presents, Easter Presents, Valentine’s Day presents, etc.
  • We do not encourage breeding on GhanaYe-Classifieds. Stud/breeding services are not allowed. Similarly, animals cannot be sold for the purposes of breeding or when already pregnant.
  • Litters may not be advertised before they are born. This includes hatchling eggs.
  • Puppies, kittens, and other mammals may not be sold before they are 8 weeks old. They may be advertised on GhanaYe-Classifieds before they are 8 weeks under the condition that the ad states that they will not be rehomed until they are at least 8 weeks old.
  • All dogs over 8 weeks must be microchipped before sale.
  • All pet ads require a photo of the exact animal being sold. If selling a litter, each pet must be pictured in the ad, either as a group or individually. Lost/found ads are exempt from this policy.
  • Puppies, kittens, and other mammal litters must include a photo of the litter with mother (preferably suckling mum). Ads reported to us in breach of this policy will be removed.
  • GhanaYe-Classifieds does not allow any ads that offer shipment/delivery of animals. Animals may only be sold locally so that the transactions can occur in person and the welfare of the animal can be ensured. For this same reason, meeting in a third-party location is not allowed.
  • Under no circumstances may animals be sold for fighting purposes.

Certain types of pets are not permitted on GhanaYe-Classifieds. Please do not post a pet if they fit into any of the following restrictions:

  • Dogs with docked tails, cropped/clipped ears, or tacked eyes are not allowed to be sold on GhanaYe-Classifieds. These types of services are also not allowed. Note: Eye tacking is permitted in breeds that are prone to entropion, such as Shar Peis.
  • Cats that have been declawed or birds that have had their wings clipped are not allowed to be sold on GhanaYe-Classifieds. These types of services are also not allowed.
  • GhanaYe-Classifieds’ Pets category is intended for pets only. We do not allow the sale of working or hunting dogs.
  • GhanaYe-Classifieds does not allow the sale of animals for feeder purposes (i.e., mice to be fed to snakes), whether alive or frozen.
  • GhanaYe-Classifieds does not allow the sale of animals that require a license to own under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.
