Safety and Animal Welfare is Our Priority
At Find Benji, we’re always working to make our community as safe and secure as possible for everyone. Here are some tips and guidelines to help ensure that rehoming and adopting pets on our platform is safe for both pets and our users.
Check User Profiles & Reviews
If you want to know more about a potential adopter before accepting their pet adoption application, check out their profile or read comments from other users on Find Benji. You may ask for references and specific questions about their experience. Use the messaging feature on Find Benji to set up a video chat with them and the pet.
Finalize a Pet Adoption with an Agreement
Our pet adoption agreement may be helpful as a framework/template to protect all parties, including the welfare of the pet.
For the prospective adopter, the agreement captures things like disclosures about the pet's medical history. It's also helpful to get a guarantee of the pet's health within a specified amount of time after the adoption.
For the current owner of the pet, he agreement also describes the responsibilities of the adopter including commitment to the health and wellbeing of their new family member.

User Verification
At Find Benji, we strive to make our community as safe and secure as possible for everyone. As part of our commitment to remain the most trusted pet adoption platform, for adoption fees exceeding $250, we require verification of the seller's identity.
Breeders / pet owners who complete our verification process will receive a "verified user" badge. Identity verification is done for the safety of both humans and pets. The badge is also available to those that complete our identification process voluntarily.
Our ID verification service fee is $9.99. After your payment is received, a verification link will be sent to your email address. A government-issued ID is required. Once your identity is verified, you will receive your "verified user" badge. We do not share your information with any outside parties.
The service fee is used to keep the community safe; detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions (such as 'puppy scams'); and other illegal or unauthorized activities.
