We had been looking for a new fur baby several months after we had to put our 14 year old rescued Wheaton Terrier down...Honey was one of a kind and we knew we could never replace her. I began checking out dog rescue sites but found most of them to be money making deals. A huge fee was due then you never got to meet with the dog until she arrived. Then I just came across this site..I read about it and thought what a wonderful service they offer. I kept checking the site out daily for dogs within 100 Mike's of where we lived as we didn't mind taking the ride to meet up with the dog and her present family. I had seen 2 dogs I really loved but I think one of the owners was really having a tough time deciding to let her baby go. Then there was Molly💞 We corresponded through the site with the owner, made arrangements to meet with the owner and Molly and the minute I saw her I knew she was the one. The only problem is once you pay the fee and take ownership of the dog that's it so if the dog is ill you are responsible for all medical Bill's and treatment...the free vet exam, which we did not use, only covers a basic visit..no labs for testing g for heartworm or lyme disease. We made a personal arrangement with the owner that if we took Molly to our vet and there was a serious problem which could not be cured with meds that we could not keep her...I couldn't go through having a pet for a few months and then go through what we went through with Honey. He agreed. He chose not to come to the vet with us and she ended up having lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. We had further testing done and nothing else, kidneys, etc, had been affected. So we made the decision to keep her and have her treated...so that added an additional $400 to her $99 fee and because we could not get her within the 30 day period we were ineligible for the free pet insurance. That being said, I still think I would do all over again. I feel this site offers a great alternative service for pet owners who must put their pet up for adoption for one reason or another...rather than taking them to shelter where there is the chance they will be euthanized. Thank you, getyourpet.com for affording us the opportunity to have such a loving, sweet fur baby and for the great experience.

We adopted Margo in April through Get Your Pet and we love her! I liked the idea of meeting her and her previous owner before making a decision. It's easier on the owners and the pets knowing that they're going from one loving family to another.

Easy to use, easy to work with. We got a great dog, it was a win win ;

This is a great site in 2 ways. 1 - if you need to find a new home for your pet without taking it to the shelter, this is a great place. 2 - first hand accounts of the pet and their personality and behaviors. While nothing is fool proof in a new environment, it is a great way to find out as much information about your potential new family member before meeting her. It also gives the current pet parent peace of mind by picking who they feel will be a good fit for their dog/cat.

I got the best friend in the world from this website! The process was easy, efficient and I am so happy and blessed with my precious little puppy.

I got my first one from here and was a good experience. I feel my fur baby didn't go to the stress of a shelter, or too many people taking care of him in the process. He already is attached to the family. Thx

The individual who had the dog that we wanted was very helpful. She made it very easy for us to meet up with her and meet the dog. After we decided to take the dog she kept in touch with me for several days to make sure that everything was going well. Unfortunately we were unable to control the dog. She was 6 months old and had absolutely no house training. It was very difficult to train her so we had to return her to her original owner. I was very unhappy with the situation but I needed to do what was best for the dog.

I'm real happy with the fur baby who has joined my family. I can't say that about the way I found her. "Get Your Pet" appears to be a great thing. But there are many restrictions that prohibit getting to know your prospective pet. My pet's former parents lived 2 hours from me, and I couldn't even give them my phone number, or email without first setting up a visit. I wanted to get more photos, because the one on the site was dark. Nope...can't do that. I wanted to talk with them on the phone. Nope...can't do that. Who wants to drive 2 hours, when you don't even know much about the animal, or the place it's coming from? I want to hear the people talk about the dog they are giving up. And if I were giving up a dog, I'd want to speak to the prospective parents. I would not want to meet them first. The world is just too weird nowadays, to meet up with strangers, in a strange place. I was lucky that the former parents trusted me enough to drive all the way to my house, so they could see where their baby was going. It costs $99 to adopt a pet at Get Your Pet. They say that $99 gives you a free dog walking service, a discount on dog food, and a free wellness exam at PetsMart. The dog walking service is not in my city. The dog food is not available in my city. PetsMart advertises that they give a free first visit wellness exam. So, that $99, did absolutely nothing, except go in the pockets of Get Your Pet. I actually thought the money went to the adoptee. I wouldn't have minded that. Like I said, I love my new family member. as for Get Your Pet, I was disappointed with them, and I don't recommend them.
