Ive reached out multiple times about adopting some of these cute doggos but they always respond with the same BS copy and paste response. They dont answer questions and its been 2 weeks and still haven't heard anything back. Go figure both doggos are still there. Until they get some competent people i dont see things getting any better. Im 30 with a huge fenced in back yard, ive had animals my whole life, and i work from home. Perfect scenario for some new furry best friends but..

Petfinder is a wonderful data base if you are looking to adopt however be very careful about some of the organization that post on petfinder. I had a horrible Experience with the organization animal rescue force which is located in New Jersey. I spoke with a women name Susan who was NOT upfront and honest and became defensive when called on a policy that she made up. It was very sad to witness this because I really wanted to support the organization and also be able to bring home a forever pet that would be apart of my family and be loved and well taken care of! My advise to anyone who is on petfinder make sure you look into the organization and what they stand for before you even fill out an application or send an email of interest!

Spent the last couple months trying to adopt a dog. I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've filled out at least 20 applications to several different shelters and rescues through this website. Out of all these places I've had one rescue check 2 of my references and no one every called my Vet's office. Many of these animals are still on the website. Shame on this website and the shelters and the rescues! If these animals are real they are not being placed in good homes! Why? Thinking about dealing with a breeder. What a disgrace!

We had to put our dog to sleep in February and because we r older we wanted to get a rescue dog who was older. We love dogs and have had 5 terrier type dogs. Someone is always home and we have a fenced in yard. We gave the vet as a reference which would show that we took great care of our dogs. We submitted an application with the 5 dollar fee for one of the dogs on Petfinder. We never heard a word from them one way or another as to whether we could adopt the dog. It was a complete waste of time and I would never bother dealing with these people

Think about it seriously for months, consider all options, prepare emotionally and household needs of a wonderful new family member in the form of a sweet doggy! Search PetFinder for the perfect candidate. Send application with high hopes. NOTHING! Wait a little longer... NOTHING! Send follow up email to "*******@rescueeverydog" where our "perfect" choice is supposedly being fostered... NOTHING! Forget it. A complete fraud. No time for this type of BS. Off to the local shelters.

My family spent days, if not weeks searching for a dog that would suit our family. We spent time placing inquiries, providing info on our family and asking questions on the posted animals. Crickets, not one response. Finally, we realized we had to place applications to even get these people to speak to us. Once we did get a response (1 out of 7) the organization came up with every reason to not even let us meet the animals. It's a site for rescues seeking donations. I've researched many of the rescues in my area listed on this site. Sadly, most have lost sight of the goal here-placing rescues in loving forever homes. Placing unrealistic barriers, high costs, and excuses of why you are not the one has exasperated the homeless animal crisis in our country. If rescues are holding these animals for extended periods of time or find excuses for you not to meet, move on. This is what you find on Petfinder.

The woman at welcome home dog rescue "Debbie". Was a typical dog hoarder. And elitist. She had no intention of ever letting us adopt the dog she had advertised. I put it multiple requests for various dogs. As other reviewers have said these people only want money. Or possibly they want control over your life. They want to examine your yard. They wanna know how much of a vet bill you could afford. They wanna know how long the dog will be alone everyday. They don't wanna find a good home for a dog. They want to judge you. DON'T BOTHER. GO TO A SHELTER. That's where I'm going

We waited a long to time to get another dog. When we were ready we decided on a rescue. I understand that the website is only a vehicle for 'rescues' to share information about available pets. We had applied for multiple dogs, spent tons of time applying, rarely ever heard back from some of the sites. Some of the 'rescue sites' had terrible reviews too. Made for a lot of hoop jumping, hopes up only to be let down, poor communication. Has to be a better way to give a pet a home!
