Spot is a trustworthy online space for buying and selling pets.
Spot’s secure verification system ensures all pets are being sold by ethical breeders that meet Spot Standards*, and breeders can feel at ease, knowing buyers are in fact who they say they are. For the first time, Spot helps ensure that pets are being handed off, and handed to — safely, lovingly, ethically, and legitimately.
*Spot Standards are consistent with the AKC’s breeder standards and guidelines.
