Finding animals: search, filters, and distance
Use marketplace filters to find available animals that fit your plans, then open a listing to check the details with its seller.
Build a useful search
- Enter a breed, trait, name, registry, or phrase in the search box when you know what you want.
- Choose one or more Species. With exactly one species selected, you can choose a breed and color, where available. Choose the breed before selecting a color.
- Choose a distance from Any Distance when that option is shown. This filter uses the location Creatures can identify for your connection; always check the listing's location yourself too.
- Refine by sex, sale format, registration, boarding availability, or other choices that matter for this purchase.
- Select Show Results and remove any filter that made the result set too narrow.
Use Fixed Price when you want a stated price and Auctions when you are prepared to bid. The available and recently sold views answer different questions: available listings show what you can pursue now, while recent sales help you understand comparable prices.
Read each result before acting
Open the listing to review the seller, location, photos, description, terms, sale status, and available pickup or delivery choices. A note that the seller has not recently confirmed availability is a reason to ask before paying, not proof that the animal is unavailable.
The main Recently sold marketplace excludes private animals. Within a sale event, an anonymous Private sale card may remain as a limited price comparison.
Keep a good search
When the same filters produce useful matches, save them instead of rebuilding them. A saved search can alert you to new matches, while the watchlist keeps individual listings together. See Saving searches and using your watchlist.
