"I have never seen a site that is so great!,” she said. “I posted my puppies at 11:00 at night and by the time I got up at 5:45 a.m. my email box was full of people wanting to buy. Wow!”
Jane Mallgren of Mastic Beach, NY, who specializes in small breed dogs, ap preciates LiveDeal’s free listings. “I have been running a pet classified ad in a major New York paper for the past three years,” commented Ms. Mallgren. “I recently found LiveDeal. Ten minutes later I posted two ads with pictures and all the words I needed. The rest is history. I received over 25 responses and all the puppies are gone. I am getting ready to post several new listings this weekend.”
Sandra Newcomb of Hollywood, FL, a breeder of Hairless Rat Terriers, also cites the high quality of LiveDeal buyers for her pets. “We are so pleased with the quality of your customers,” states Ms. Newcomb. “We have placed our hairless puppies with children with allergies. These children make such good homes for our pups because they appreciate them so much."
