Reviews of Petfinder

  • Okay, not great

    When it works, it’s great. But there are quite a few negatives to this app.

    The first is that half the dogs don’t seem to have photos. Petfinder should require posts to have at least one photo. If not that, then at least make a filter option that removes posts without a photo.

    The second is the distance calculator. Your manual options are 10, 25, 50, or 100 miles away, or anywhere. They say their map allows you to customize distances between 100 miles and anywhere, but I have never gotten it to work. I’m stuck using “anywhere,” then sorting through all the posts to see if I’m willing to drive to whatever state they happen to be in. Very irritating.

    My last thing isn’t Petfinder’s fault, but I wish they would help weed out the rescues who don’t communicate with adopters at all. I understand that rescues get a lot of applications and it takes time to carefully vet all of the good ones, but most of these rescues just plain don’t communicate. No acknowledgement of receipt of an application, no denial notice or notice that they chose someone else, and no response when you send them emails, Facebook messages or messages through their own websites. There should be a way to report these rescues so that Petfinder can flag their accounts as having little or no contact with inquiries so that adopters can either not waste their time or at the very least, not get their hopes up that they’ll actually be considered.

  • AMAZING!!! Love it buuuut

    I love this app. It had many features that help me with finding the dog we need and want. The only issue I’d say if the filtering, needed add-ons, and not being able to report “rescues”.
    For the filtering, I added I only want a small dog but I still have to add the extra filter. It isn’t the most needed thing but I feel like it would help having your inquiry details be the filter.
    Something I feel that should be added is seeing if the dog is hypoallergenic or not. For me, shedding dogs is something I can’t stand, but I feel like adding that for a filter could help.
    Lastly, we visited a “rescue” which with a close eye, we realised it was actually a puppy mill, not a rescue. We were going to report them by weren’t able to because there wasn’t a way to. I feel like it would be a great add to be able to report rescues if something was wrong or worrying.
    Generally this app is amazing and works perfect and is helping me beautifully.

  • Never any responses from the shelters

    We’ve applied for a few adoptions and never hear anything. What’s the point of the app? 1 star. The app should be removing shelters who are known to never reply. It take some planning and discussion to adopt a pet and it’s a real let down when you don’t get responses.

    Update — got this canned response from the developer:

    "We're so sorry to learn of your experience. Please know that each shelter and rescue maintains their own adoption inquiries, and we'd recommend reaching out to them directly to follow up on your applications. Thank you for thinking adoption first. "

    So, I can appreciate the position they are in, but as I stated in my initial review above, if there are enough complaints about a particular shelter or a shelter is known to not respond, that shelter should be removed off the app. Many shelters are staffed by unpaid volunteers; kudos to them. With that said, all the volunteer hours won’t amount to much if animals keep coming in but the inquiries are not answered. This apps should assist in the wider pet adoption community by removing non responsive shelters and ensuring those of who really do want to adopt, and give abandoned pets a forever home, are matched with shelters who will meet me us halfway . . . after all, while ensuring animals are fed and cared for is a priority, I would assume the primary end goal is to find a permanent home for these pets.
