Let's Play! Detecting Backyard Breeders on Craigslist & Online Platforms
Update: 2025-09-27
Description
In the season’s finale of The Rescue State podcast, I dive into one of the biggest loopholes backyard breeders use to sell puppies: Craigslist. Even though Craigslist bans the sale of animals, many people try to get around the rules with misleading ads. In this episode, I walk you through how to spot these posts and show you how to turn “flagging” them into a game.
Together, we can push back against illegal puppy sales, protect dogs from backyard breeders and remind sellers that the public is watching. Tune in to learn how to play the “flagging game” and join the movement to hold backyard breeders accountable—one flagged ad at a time.
