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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really Good, But...

The site is great for finding pets but I ran into a couple of dead links. Still, I managed to adopt a wonderful dog.

Solid Platform for Adoptions

Really straightforward process. I found my cat in a couple of days. Just a bit slow on the response from some shelters.

Almost perfect

The selection of pets is great, but I wish the search filters were a bit more refined. I found a pup I loved, but it took a bit longer than expected to get responses from the shelters.

Helpful but Room for Improvement

Petfinder was really helpful in finding a local shelter. They had a decent selection of pets but I felt like some listings were outdated.

Solid but could improve

Found a great puppy, but the app sometimes crashes and it can be frustrating to navigate. Still, I'm glad I used this site.

Helpful, but room for growth

I had a good experience, found a lovely cat, but the follow-up care tips were lacking. Would love to see more resources for new pet owners!

Good Experience Overall

I found my dog on Petfinder, and the site was pretty easy to navigate. Just wished there were more filters to narrow down my search.
