Detailed Advert Posting Rules
The Pets4Homes website was set up to be as easy to use as possible, and we want every advert to go live the first time you try to publish it without going through the approval process multiple times. Please make sure you stay up-to-date with our full terms when creating a listing.
We may place your advert on hold if you have broken one of our advert posting rules. If your listing is placed on hold, you will receive an email alerting you as to the reason why. Please check your email and our detailed posting rules to find out why your listing was not published:
