PetFinder

I can't access the website and the app shows zero search results. My girlfriend was able to get on the website at the same time it was working for me, but she sent out three requests for info and hasn't received a single response. It appears that even if their UI was consistently functional, it doesnt matter because of the lack of engagement.

Process is too slow very unpersonable.I'll find my next best friend elsewhere will never use any online rescue again absolutely USELESS👎

I tried to adopt 2 kittens and give them a home with my 2 other cats. What information they want is ridiculous and they take forever to answer you and are expensive. I went to the shelter and adopted 2 kittens and they are not siblings and act like they are though they boys and I have girls at home now over 3 months later everybody getting along well. I will never use pet finder again and I will not recommend it. A good friend tried to adopt a kitten and they never got back to her. Horrible service.

I have learn that if you try to adopt a pet they have no address or phone number. Some rescue like pyrpawsand furry tails and friends are scam.they lead you on never come through

Quality breeders are always involved in rescue but this group is biased against them and thus favors cast off puppy mill dogs that are purchased by rescue groups to resell, dogs that are from Back Yard Breeders, encouraging more back yard breeding, and non-quality breeders that will not stand behind the dogs that they adopt through rescue. All quality breeders have contracts and will willing support other dogs of the breed to rehome them when something happens and one of the dogs comes into their homes and will work to ensure they are placed in a quality home - this is rescue. Quality breeders do not BUY dogs to rehome, they take them in willingly and rehome them at their own expense. Petfinder refuses to acknowledge these breeders as advocates, supports, and rescuers as well so they are missing a key component of dog people that not only support their breeds, protect their breeds, rehome dogs of less quality breeders that are from their breeds, owners of their breeds, and basically are the reason that there are healthy dogs available for people that want them. Unfortunately, it is a biased organization against the most significant and important group of dog people in the country.

I've applied for several dogs that said AVAILABLE on Pet Finder with no response at all! My husband and I own our home and have a nice big yard. We've owned pets for over 20 years and can easily get our Veterinary's recommendation. We are in our mid forties… not too old to own a dog so hopefully it's not that! We're also financially stable so it's not that. What is going on with pet finder? This website needs serious updating! I hope another site comes along for the benefit of all the pets that are looking for a good home!

I couldnt enter the requested information into the website because it would not let me ex out of the cookie notice, very annoying and should've been fix d a long time ago with how long petfinder has been around

I would not recommend Petfinder for anyone looking to adopt an animal. Dominica, the one you can deal with in the Chicago area is very condescending. If you do use Petfinder, ask for someone else but based on the reviews online you should look elsewhere.

PetFinder does serve a purpose. You need to understand that they are only the middle man between you and a shelter/rescue. I finally found a pet through them, but only was able to adopt once I send applications to the rescues direct. Even then my first attempt was horrible. Even MULTIPLE applications resulted zero responses. The pet is still available on the rescue site today. After over 2 weeks later we tried for another dog with another rescue, again thru PetFinder. I had a response within 24 hours. Vet check was already done, home visit took place a couple of days later, meet and greet the pet again after only a couple of days. We had the exact issue with a company called AdoptaPet. Some Rescues/Shelters are simply much better than others. Don't blame PetFinder.
