Get Your PetReviews of getyourpet.com

I asked about a young female dog. My husband and I are devastated after losing our 5 yr old maltese to liver failure. Someone responded to me on this site about a dog immediately requesting a meet up. I made the date and with this so called "David" asked me to venmo cash. I asked too many questions and he dropped the meeting. I'm trying to report this and the site isn't responding. Be very careful.

Scam run away!!!

We tried to adopt a poodle, and the guy Gerald kept stating he needs 100 dollars then proceeded to say he needed an additional 200 for the breeder for the paperwork..such scammere!

I went to try to find a puppy through Petfinder which is usually respectable. But this gettourpet.com is awful. I contacted two people and both tried to scam me by asking for money before meeting them and the dog saying they need the money to get the paperwork together etc. the rules of the site are very specific in order to protect from scams. You don’t contact them outside of the site and you definitely don’t pay them anything. They were very helpful and removed the two people I dealt with but then right away the same dog is up with a different owner name so I messaged them again. I think if they could vet the site better then it could be a great place. But no one is giving away a French bulldog for $199. If it’s too good to be true it most likely is.

What a terrible experience. My husband and I were interested in a Bichon Frise named Bobby. We contacted owner Paul about meeting up. He agreed but then throughout the morning he kept saying that he needed 80 dollars for his vet to transfer the ownership papers and then came back 3 times saying the vet hadn't received the payments through PayPal. He then asked for 150 dollars so he could get the dog a new cage and special food. Lesson learned the hard way.

The concept behind this website is genius. Safe, protected re-homing of loved pets. It's a win-win for both the guardian and the adopter. They say they have an algorithm they use to weed out scammers. It doesn't work. The right algorithm should spot the scammers almost immediately - certainly not 5-6 days later when a letter is written to the GetYourPet to tell them someone is a scammer. Almost all the pups I've looked into - over a 100 since the loss of one or our pups in May 2022 - were being sold by scammers. All wanted money for things that are free, all wanted contact outside of the GetYourPet website, all gave answers that made no sense, most gave conflicting answers from message to message. Once their accounts were suspended, the pup would be placed on the site again with a different guardian - same pictures, different name, same puppy accessories, conflicting reasons for why they are looking to re-home. This website is filled with scammers - be careful, follow the rules of the website, use only the website platform to communicate. I am sure there have been successful adoptions, but scammers abound.

I reached out to Kevin who had a chiwawa for adoption after making a meet appointment at the petco he send me a message that the vet needed $100 for the adoption papers to be paid thru Zelle or cashapp. I then messaged Kevin back and told him I would have to cancel because I’m not paying anything only the $199 to the website. And surprisingly enough we lost further communication !! SCAMMER!

I had great hope for this site but I was a fool and should’ve remembered that if something seems too good to be true it is. First, I reached out to Mike about Finn. He was nice enough and eager to meet but Finn was my 2nd choice and I knew there was time. Louie was my first choice and after setting up the meet up, he began asking me for money. Eventually I sent it but my bank refused the transaction. The $$ was for vet fees but I was sending it to his zelle, then cashapp, then his wife. I told him that he was making me uncomfortable and was no longer interested and he still kept sending me messages. I wrote to the site and when they got back to me, they said the David’s account was being closed and I shouldn’t engage. Still I had hope and went back to the site today. Louie is still there, listed “new” only now he has a different gauadian. Finn is still there as well but Mike is no longer his Guardian, David is. The same David formerly with Louie. If David is/was a scammer why is the dog still listed and how is David, now Finn’s guardian. At this point the entire site and concept is a scam and should be shut down. Finn is actually listed in another bad review below and he is still on the site. NUTS!!!. I tried to do the right thing by going the adoption/rescue route and its been a nightmare. I am no longer interested, think its all screwed up and Im going to spend 2500 and get the dog I want, from people that really have the dogs and people who really exist. Such an unbelievable disappointment.
