Search function is garbage

I try to search within 50 miles of my home in Massachusetts and it shows cats from TX. What a joke of an app.

Adopt

I’ve made several inquires but no response what’s the issue

Awesome

You definitely should get Petfinder because it is so cute and all the animals are so cute and I and they are also cute. You should adopt them and they all need a loving home love, Della.

Cute bunnies

I found the cutest bunnies near i will get them this is the best bro.

Weird repeats

Why are some dogs showing up 10-15 times in a row? Lots of buffering.

Good review

It's very accessible and easy to search.

pet finder sucks

the website is slow and buggy and it keeps listing unavailable pets as available. my heart was broken twice in a row after being unable to adopt the 2 cats of my dreams and now i don’t even wanna get one anymore. i have been crying the entire morning.

Doesn’t work

The app doesn’t work. Keep trying to do the pet owner profile to match with recommended breeds but nothing works. Hope they fix it soon as it’s not useable in the current format.

Have to agree to let them share/ sell your information

Just in order to sign in or sign up or even use the app you have to give up your rights to the information that they will sell. Another way of giving up your rights.

I love looking at the animals on this app 100% 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My fav I probaly Lila

Worst app ever

This is the worst app I have ever used. Maybe decrease the amount of add junk and your app would work like it is supposed to. Sad too because this is a needed resource for animals who need homes. Do better.

Not User Friendly

Always has a problem with my network connection even when my network connection is fine. When I try to filter for house trained dogs, it shows me dog’s that AREN’T house trained alongside those that are. When I send links to other people in my family, the link takes them to the website and the website has MORE information than the app even though we’re looking at the same exact pet profile. If I have to download the app to use PetFinder and have favorites, it should make the search for a pet easier and I should have access to the same information, if not more information, than what’s on the website. Also, even when I modify my search I just keep seeing the same dogs over and over again (some with more than one listing for the same pet). There should be some sort of vetting system from the app itself to make sure that there are no repeat pet profiles because it is really irritating to have X amount of results come up for my search and have like 5 results one after another be the same dog. There’s not really a comparable app to PetFinder so I’m going to keep using it, but it could really use some improvements.

good

very good place to find cute animals

No safeguard from scammers

There are scammers on here with fake pics and require deposits before you even get to see the pet in person. I wonder how much money was scammed from people on here

DELETING APP

Lots of bugs to fix, regularly unable to see available pets. Browser version is still much better. Cannot see favorite pets. Very disappointed. Update: this app has not been fixed. VERY unimpressed. Animals need homes and this app is not able to be used.

Excellent pet sourcing app

Thank you Petfinder for helping us find and adopt our two new cats! What a wonderful resource!

Great cause, godawful user experience

This app is so glitchy, works 50% of the time MAYBE, and made me nearly give up my rescue dog search because it was so bad. Get up and grab your computer if you want to use this service, it’s not worth the frustration to download this app.

Some pictures are over a year old

Will be happy to take this review down when this is rectified. Pet finder should be a great resource but with many pictures three months, four months even over a year old?

WOAH

this app is just fun too be on,i get to see cute ahh kittens and some have funny names ?! 6/5 stars

Frustrating! Info not saved

I have tried to update my info and either it looks it took but search results are across the country . OR it apologizes that it cannot save. A waste of time!!!!
