1. Purpose of Site
DoxieFind.com is a website dedicated to helping dogs find the right human families to live with. We maintain a membership base of dog owners and breeders. These Members have not been screened by and are not endorsed or guaranteed by DoxieFind.com. Members are able to create Ads which describe themselves and their dogs for sale, and these ads are available for searching and viewing by Visitors to the site. Also, Members may create more specific Ads that can also be searched and viewed by Visitors. We also facilitate communication between Members and Visitors by automating an email notification process.
In addition to information presented by Members about dogs for sale, DoxieFind.com allows Members to post Ads, including Rescue listings. The Members posting these ads have not been screened by and are not endorsed or guaranteed by DoxieFind.com.
2. Disclaimer
DoxieFind.com highlights dog breeders, dogs for sale, puppies for sale, and stud dogs. Although DoxieFind.com promotes and encourages responsible breeding practices, this site cannot evaluate or endorse any dog breeders and cannot warranty or endorse any puppies for sale, dogs for sale, or stud dogs listed on this site. DoxieFind.com is not responsible for the truth or accuracy of information or photos presented by site members or visitors. It is the responsibility of the prospective buyer to evaluate dog breeders and make decisions based on the information that buyer obtains directly from those dog breeders. Anyone purchasing from or otherwise entering into a financial transaction with any member, former member, or visitor does so at their own risk. DoxieFind.com plays no part in any purchase transaction, but strongly recommends that anyone purchasing or selling a dog or puppy establish and sign a purchase contract prior to the transfer of any money, for the protection of both the buyer and seller. All Breeder Listing and Ad content is the sole responsibility of the member posting that content. DoxieFind.com assumes no responsibility or legal liability for any such content.
DoxieFind.com makes every effort to prevent the posting of unacceptable content to our website. However, because much of the posted content is immediately available for viewing on the website, DoxieFind.com is not responsible for any such content.
