Terms of Use on Scaashanghai.org

Website Intent

This website is intended to help people in Shanghai find pets available for adoption. Although we will not ban or disallow pets which have been bred, we will discourage our visitors from purchasing from breeders. The goal of this website is to find a home for homeless and abandoned companion animals, or for those needy pets that, due to their owner(s) circumstances, can no longer keep their pet or to find homes for animals currently in a rescue group or shelter.

Information for Breeders

This website is now solely intended for pet adoption, not pet sales.
