Doesn’t work

Downloaded the app and started a search. The breeds won’t load, but all the other categories worked fine. No matter criteria I put in or distance I entered, it kept telling me there were no dogs. So either this app is broken or they are out of dogs to post. Given the state of nationwide animal shelters’ occupancy, I’m guessing it’s broken.

Gets stuck on ‘Loading breeds’

Didn’t get any results for dogs in a 100 mile radius and I’m in the Los Angeles area. Tried to limit by breed but the app gets stuck loading.

No results

I guess this app must be dead because I tried six different zip codes in four different states with unlimited mile radius and no results for any
