Is this your business? PetFinder has a consumer rating of 1.72 stars from 246 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Consumers complaining about PetFinder most frequently mention local shelters, loving homes and next day problems.

However, he wants a buddy. PetFinder provides dozens of pictures and descriptions of AUS Cattle Dogs. Only one organization ever responded. Unfortunately, it seems that most rescue organizations utilize the marketing services of PetFinder as a tool to find a new home.

Their policy states not to fill out your application unless you can meet the next Saturday. No one responds. Dogs that are listed are not up for adoption. It takes forever to get a response, just to find out the dog is not available. 2 weeks later, the same pup Is still listed.

Pet finder is the worst site to adopt on. There are so many animals that are in need of loving homes… but they make it so hard, with no response to any emails. I mean what does one have to do to adopt a pet… no wonder people buy pets, instead of adopting…
