This is at least a 90% scam. We were so excited when we found a puppy we wanted to adopt. We messaged the guardian and to a fairly speedy reply. He wanted to set up the meet, so we gave him a phone number. He never called. but messaged back. I could barely read the message because the language was just a mess. I messaged him asking that he please clarify. As it turned out, he wanted the fee up front (before the meet). After that, I some more research and found another puppy with the same guardian but had a different name. Now, granted, the second puppy could have been a litter mate, however, after the messages I received, I seriously doubt it. So, without messaging, we skipped the meet and did not hear from the guardian. That confirmed my suspicions. I'm so concerned for the puppies on this site. It is completely possible that these pups are not being rehomed but bred for this purpose. Adopting a puppy from this site will only encourage this practice. There are a lot of other rescues out there and while the process might be more protracted, at least you can rest assured that you are not encouraging the puppy mills. Good luck to any of you out there looking for a fur baby!

There are several ""owners"" asking for transactions off-site to rehome pets. This is common pet scam tactic also utilized in places like Craigslist, Kijiji, and Facebook where people will pull photos of popular dog breeds or attractive dogs from social media or Google and try to get people to pay breed-shelter prices (200-400$) under the table for a dog they don't even have, or they'll give you a dog that isn't the one pictured but is from a backyard breeding operation or worse- stolen. I came across a chihuahua named "Rag" listed for adoption that was an obviously catfished photo, using the photo of "Prancer" from an adoption post that went viral a couple years ago. The ""owner"" also listed the dog as black and white, despite Prancer being a golden brown. Even though this was clearly either a scammer, or someone who was using false or inaccurate info, my help emails have gone nowhere and the listing is still up. Once scammers know that nothing is being done about them, they will flock to the website, and listings will gradually become more scams than legitimate posts. This is not only disadvantageous to users, but also makes it harder for an otherwise good concept to be utilized properly and these animals will go unadopted, because the scammers will discourage people from using the site. Getyourpet is a small company that likely got too big, too fast, and is too understaffed to properly handle all the help requests that come in. If nothing is done about this NOW, it has an extremely high chance of completely running this site into the ground. Get your act together, Getyourpet. There are plenty of people unemployed due to the pandemic, you have no excuse for not having enough staff to combat such obvious scams.

Beware of a scumbag calling himself “David” — no now it’s “Nora”—who just happened to inherit his dead dad’s Samoyed puppy named “Grey” — no now it’s “Pearl” but always in Philadelphia, then asks to be paid off the site (fyi you’re supposed to pay the WEBSITE directly AFTER taking your new pet home, not the scammer directly for anything). He had sob story after sob story about why he needed money, suddenly his other dog “Dell” (no doubt named after his computer monitor he uses to scam people) is sick too. It would be funny if it wasn’t actually a scam.

Be Careful too good to be true usually is... On Meetup for Cattle dog was directed to High crime area of Columbia, PA and given an address without a yard and told this womans "Brother" would meet me. Also that she couldn't talk on the phone because she was part deaf, text only. THe address in columbia pa. has NO ATTIC yet the woman told me she was going up there "To get VET records". Be careful.

Too many scammers. They use the same picture for multiple dogs and when they are contacted they request more money. Get your pet is not responsive to reports of scammers.

Beware of a guy named Joe who listed a female baby Yorkie named Colby. He requested we send 299.00 directly to him which clearly is against the rules established by get your pet.com I believe the website is legit but unfortunately they can’t verify each guardian who post on their site.

I am very upset regarding this site people that are participating on this site should love pets. I rehomed my pet in May here it is August & he sent the dog to get euthanized at a shelter but the whole time sending me pictures of how happy Rocy is how much they love him it was all a big LIE. This such a sad situation and in very angry. Please everyone please be aware of the people on this site. The same way he sent me pictures he could of told me there was a problem. I'm devastated.

I thought this place was legit, until I saw some scamming. Someone put a 1 month old Yorkie named Bella and then another photo named Nina and Bella guardian. I sent two emails to alert the responsible party and it is still on the site. Be very careful. They probably want emails to sell or more .
