I tried applying for a dog listed on the site but the shelter didn’t respond for almost a week, which was frustrating. Also some pet details were missing so I had to do extra calls to confirm health status. However, I liked that the site connects so many rescues in one place. Just wish the communication was better and profiles more complete.

Found a great pup here, but the site crashed during my application which stressed me out. Still, the support team helped resolve things quickly.

Site works fine, but a couple pets took days to get responses.

I was able to search by specific breeds and found a local shelter with the sweetest golden retriever puppy. The site made it super easy to contact the shelter directly and ask questions. Adoption process went smoothly, and I got all the info I needed online.

I found several pets I wanted to inquire about but by the time I contacted the shelters, the pets were already adopted. It would be great if Petfinder updated their listings more often to avoid that disappointment. Aside from that, the database is quite extensive and easy to use. I appreciated the adoption tips and how they suggest responsible pet ownership. Some shelters have more detailed info than others though, which was a bit inconsistent.

Petfinder has tons of pets available which is awesome, but sometimes the filters don’t narrow things down enough. Took me a bit to find smaller dogs since I only wanted one suitable for apartment living. Customer support helped clarify some adoption rules which was handy.

I spent a couple weeks browsing on Petfinder looking for the right cat for my apartment. The site has tons of listings from nearby shelters, which was awesome, but some pet profiles had outdated info so I ended up calling shelters directly. Once I found a cat, the adoption process was straightforward and the shelter staff was friendly. Would appreciate more frequent updates on available animals though.

It took me about three months to find the right dog, but Petfinder was the best tool out there. The detailed search options helped me filter by age and size, which is key since I needed a dog that would be okay with my small kids. I ended up adopting from a shelter 60 miles away that updated their listings quickly. Communication was clear, and they provided all medical and behavioral histories upfront. The site also offers great resources on how to prepare for pet adoption. Petfinder made what could have been a stressful ordeal into a positive experience.

I was looking for a black cat for ages without luck, but Petfinder finally connected me with a shelter 45 miles away that had exactly what I wanted. The detailed pet profiles including temperament and health info were super useful. I was able to see all adoption requirements and prepare ahead. It made the whole process less stressful, and the shelter responded quickly to my inquiries. Glad I stuck with it because now I have the best feline friend.
