The sale of dogs through online marketplace DoneDeal has been temporarily suspended as the site looks to help “improve animal welfare” amid a rise in dog thefts across the country.
According to a spokesperson, DoneDeal will introduce measures to further improve animal welfare and advertising transparency.
