Super helpful site!

I found a puppy I’ve always wanted! The filters made it easy to see all the options, and I appreciated the detailed descriptions. Highly recommend!

Good Selection but Needs Work

Petfinder has a lot of animals to choose from, which is great. I did find a sweet dog that I ended up adopting, but the communication was a bit lacking. I had some questions about the dog's history, and I struggled to get clear answers quickly. Overall, I’m happy with my dog but the process could be improved.

A reliable platform with minor flaws

I adopted a dog last month. The experience was mostly positive, but I had a hard time tracking my application's status. Communication from the shelter could be faster.

Great selection, slow feedback

Petfinder has a great range of animals to adopt, but the feedback from potential owners could be way faster. I loved my experience, but the waiting was annoying.

Terrible customer support

I can’t believe how unresponsive they are! I tried to contact support about an issue, but no one replied. Very frustrating.

Good but needs improvement

I adopted a dog last month and it was mostly a great experience, but I wish there was more guidance on adjusting to life with a new pet. The website worked fine, just some small bumps.

Great experience overall!

I found my puppy on Petfinder, and it was a fun journey. Communication could use some work, but finding my furry friend made it all worth it!

Too many issues

I had a terrible experience trying to adopt. The paperwork was excessive, and I never got to meet the dog I chose because the shelter was so unorganized.

Good resource, slightly slow

Used Petfinder to look for a cat, and it helped me find one quickly. Just wish their chat support was a little faster. Overall, quite pleased.

Mixed feelings about this

I adopted a cat from here, but the whole process felt rushed. The communication was lacking, and I wish there was more support.

Frustrating Experience

I thought Petfinder would make adopting easier, but it was a hassle. I found a lovely dog I wanted to adopt, but the application process took forever. They kept asking for more documents each time, which was so annoying. Honestly, I ended up going to a local shelter directly instead. I just didn’t have the patience for all the back and forth.

Could use improvements

Found a few potential pets, but the app kept freezing. It made the whole experience stressful, not what I expected.

Great service but some glitches

I found my dog through Petfinder and it was a smooth process. The website has a ton of options, but sometimes it glitches and doesn't load properly. Overall, I'm happy with the service.

Amazing service!

I found my perfect dog through Petfinder! The process was so easy, and I loved that I could see so many different pets in need of homes. My new pup, Bella, is just the sweetest and has brought so much joy to my life. Highly recommend this site!

Almost perfect!

I’m really satisfied with my adoption from Petfinder. The only downside was that it took a bit longer to hear back from the shelter, but once I did, everything was great!

Nice Selection of Pets

I liked the variety of pets available. Had to fill out a lot of paperwork though. It took longer than I expected to adopt.
