PetFinder

No matter the breed, sex or age - this site seems to have them all! I have decided rather than purchase my next dog from a breeder, I will check out available animals on this site. You can search by age, sex, breed, species and location. This is a VERY well designed site. Sometimes it's a little heartbreaking to read the stories of the little critters looking for homes. Before you buy from a breeder, consider adopting from here!

''About two weeks ago I adopted a purebred Yorkshire terrier from ''Purebred rescue of FL through petfinder.com. I drove to Brooksville FL from Little rock, Arkansas to pick the dog up from their rescue. The staff is fantastic, they treat their clients with nothing but kindness. It is hard to find a legitimate rescue group these days so I am grateful I found them. My only complaint toward the rescue is their high fee's.

I adopted a 5 year old, 12lb. $#*!zu, named Leo from Petfinder/Wagging Tails animal rescue, for $600. The adoption process felt like I was adopting a child. Not only did I have to fill out forms online, but I also had to let them see what my house looked like while I was talking to them on the phone. I picked up Leo from the foster parent, who had me sign some additional forms. Leo was cute, followed me everywhere, he's definitely a lap dog. No one told me he bites, nor was it in his profile. He nipped my daughter, growled at my husband and the final straw was he bit my daughter, all of this happened in a week. I returned Leo and lost $600. No refund at all. There's a reason why you aren't able to leave a review on Petfinder.com and it's because they are a rip off. By the way…I saw Leo on Petfinder 2 weeks later for $700. Don't waste your money or time on Petfinder.com.

They lure kind-hearted pet lovers into a net of disappointment and taking their money. I believe, based on my experience, that most of the pets they advertise are either non-existant or have already been adoped. Just recently I immediately applied to adopt a dog advertised and received a response telling me he was nearly through the adoption and was not available. Why did they promote this dog. Are they stupid? Callous scam artists? I believe both. Don't be fooled and disappointed. Unsubscribe from their emails and block contact as I have. Shame on you Jared Saul and Betsy Banks Saul

About 6 months ago I signed up with this worthless group. All the dogs and cats over the years have all been rescues. I lived in Tacoma for 50 years and all of them came from the Tacoma human society and Puyallup animal rescue never a problem. Now back to this outfit. Your prices are horrible you must be making all kinds of money. Trying to get you guys to respond to the emails I sent you about different pets you NEVER RESPONDED. Now after months you start sending me more emails what the hell? You guys are going in the spam folder. And by the way I did find another rescue she's a sweety gets along with my 2 rescue cats and 2 other rescue dogs. If I EVER am looking again it won't be with you. Thanks for nothing and I hope your rescues make it out of your hands SAFETY.

Bunch of Charlatans I'm surprised they didn't want to know my inside leg measurement. Their forms is ridiculous, ": what do you think your pet needs most, reading glasses and a good light?" no replies I'm conv inced they have an age cut off. The are no use. Don't waste your time They don't reply, do they want to have the animals adopted or not They need to be audit\ed by animal services and then closed down

We waited a long to time to get another dog. When we were ready we decided on a rescue. I understand that the website is only a vehicle for 'rescues' to share information about available pets. We had applied for multiple dogs, spent tons of time applying, rarely ever heard back from some of the sites. Some of the 'rescue sites' had terrible reviews too. Made for a lot of hoop jumping, hopes up only to be let down, poor communication. Has to be a better way to give a pet a home!

I put application in to meet a dog. Response from petfinder. Called your vet and you have not purcshed heart worm since. 2017. Yes that is true my dog was eaderly and passed away beginning of 2018. Plus I purchase a lot on line. Petfinder only looking to judge! Never once talked to me visited me. Let me visit the dog. POOR! POOR! Process! Will never use them again. It is about the animal the best place for the animal. NO Way they can accomplish that with emails only! Bad experience! Feel sorry for the animals they are placing in such a poor process!

I went into petfinder so excited to have the opportunity to adopt a pet soon as I've been considering for a few years and now finally the time. Im in search of a small buddy dog for my condo. All I've been met with is disappointment and no response and invasive applications with more no response. It's a weird world on all ends as I keep hearing the statistics on continued euthanizations of animals yet they make it so very difficult for good people to take in a rescue. While petfinder is simply a database, it represents these shelters and is filled with outdated pets that have been adopted ages ago. After this emotional rollercoaster (I'm only two months in and know others have been trying much longer) I'm convinced my only true shot at being a dog mom is to get on a breeder list or go to a pet store.

I had called wanting to get more information on a horse located in Arizona named paloosa. I grew up with horses so I have experience, and the fact that I'm willing to drive 10 hours just to visit the horse should show that I'm more than willing to do everything I can to provide this horse with a loving home. The lady that had answered my call was demeaning, hostile, and unprofessional! Y'all really want to find homes for these animals? Cause the problem is the ones fostering them. She didn't even get to know me or my background. I feel sooo bad for these animals on this site, only want a loving home but can't because stuck up ignorant people don't let it happen!

We had to put our dog to sleep in February and because we r older we wanted to get a rescue dog who was older. We love dogs and have had 5 terrier type dogs. Someone is always home and we have a fenced in yard. We gave the vet as a reference which would show that we took great care of our dogs. We submitted an application with the 5 dollar fee for one of the dogs on Petfinder. We never heard a word from them one way or another as to whether we could adopt the dog. It was a complete waste of time and I would never bother dealing with these people
