### 1/5 — No Dogs in a 50 Mile Radius?!

*2026-01-02*

Even with the choice of “No Breed Preference” and a search area of 50 miles, the results came back “Sorry, no dogs available”.  I did specify cat compatibility, but surely given the multitude of shelters within a 50 mile radius from my home, there must be at least one cat-friendly dog!

### 2/5 — Pits R Us

*2022-01-13*

I have never seen so many Pits on one site! What. Everyone gets a Pit Bull or mix to make themselves look cool, and the infatuation wears off in 1-3 yrs.  So many great dogs at the whim of ignorance.

### 5/5 — OMG I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH

*2021-05-17*

Ok so my cousin fosters animals, and right now, she’s fostering a dog and a cat. 
Ok, so, one day, she went fishing on the App Store for a pet adoption app, because her main one was glitching like crazy. 
She came across this app, and downloaded it. She decided this was just the app she needed. 
She put both the dog and the cat on the app, and eagerly waited for the animals to be adopted. 
She told me all about this app when we were FaceTiming a couple days ago, so I decided to download it, and you know,  check it out. 
THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS ON THERE. Fish, ferrets, turtles, cats, dogs, pigs, horses, basically any animal you can think of! 
And true, I’m not looking to adopt a pet right now. I’m honestly just on the app to look at all the cute animals for adoption 😂 
But it’s so great, to just wake up, see a new pet on the app, and coo over it!
And I’ve also been tracking Beck and Teddy’s progress on the app. (Beck and Teddy are the animals my cousins fostering.) they seem very close to being adopted. 
So thanks for everything PetView! Your a great help!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-06-26*

Too difficult to manage

**Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you’re having difficulties with the app. Can you please specify what’s difficult to manage so we can make some improvements and give you an enjoyable pet search experience?

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-14

Meet the shelters behind the pets.

NEW SHELTERS TAB
Browse the shelters and rescue groups near you, not just their pets. Every shelter gets a card with a scrolling photo mosaic of the animals in its care, how far away it is, and a full breakdown of what's available: 92 dogs, 69 cats, 9 chickens, 4 turtles, 1 tortoise.

- Search shelters and rescues by name
- Filter by organization type, species, minimum pet count, and how recently listings were updated
- Sort by distance, latest update, or most pets available
- Tap any shelter for its details, address, and contact options
- Open a shelter's full pet list and narrow it to just the species you want

NEW TAB BAR
The slide-out menu is gone. Pets, Shelters, Saved, and More now live in a floating tab bar that shrinks down as you scroll through a feed and returns to full size as you scroll back up.

SAVED NOW HOLDS SHELTERS
Heart a shelter exactly the way you heart a pet. Favorites and Viewed both mix pets and shelters, so everything you've been looking at is in one place.

REBUILT FILTERS
Pet Filters is now a sheet you can pull up from the feed, with the most-used filters first and more controls right inline, so it takes fewer taps to get to the pets you want. Shelters get their own filter sheet to match.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
- Two new species: frogs and turkeys
