We've noticed an increased number of people selling or giving away animals that may need homes. While this is a wonderful sentiment to find homes for these animals, many members of the Wolfhome community, including the Wolfhome Administration do not feel comfortable with such sales continuing on this site. The sale of items like game consoles or tablets are fine, but we ask that you do not post topics selling animals or looking for homes for any animals you might like to give away. Please keep these types of sales to websites like Petfinder.com that are meant for these types of transactions.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Good idea, it is upsetting seeing people who no longer want their animals, or have to get rid of them.
Though it would be great to see them go to their forever home, I agree with this

well, that may not necessarily be the reasoning behind most people's choices to do that, so this is not to shame anyone. this decision was more based on the legal issues at hand as well as pure concern for the safety/health of any animals involved. these forums aren't exactly an appropriate place for those scenarios.. or "transactions", if you want to call it that.

Yeah, Wolfhome forums really isn't appropriate for sales like that, especially if something goes wrong.
There are tons of sites out there for that purpose anyway where I assume you'd get much more interest for example, Dogs and Puppies.co.uk :)
