Get Your PetReviews of getyourpet.com

I have been looking for another Chihuahua for quite some time. I came across this app from Petfinder. I saw Ginger, who was in my area, and the rest is history! This app is quick, easy, so helpful, and doing the right thing for pets and owners that wish to re-home their beloved pets.

I have to say I did find myself a dog and one for my son on get your pet site. It was not easy as so many scammers go on it. I did find 2 wonderful dogs here that are spoiled and loved in their forever homes. I did try to find another one from a person named Mary with a shitzu named stella for my 18 yr daughter to add to our family her but the person set up a meet up 2 times and never showed up or responded after I drove to the meet up location they set up, so it’s either a scammer or a prank. A waste of of time. But if anyone asks for money remember not to send any monies because that is a rule on the site. When you get the dog you pay online to getyourpet. Then you get paper work from the site and some coupons for discount dog supplies and vet visit. Most scammers put pics of puppies and ask for money to be wired , Apple Pay or cashapp. Do not send anything to them. Report it to the site so they can remove them and warn others.

good experience. i adopted a dog being rehomed thru this group only this past week. everything went well but not without any hiccups. this is not my first rodeo. i used to show two breeds in conformation and obedience and volunteered with a breed specific rescue for over 20 years. the young family were honest in most everything they presented the dog to be. the major flaws was the dog pictured was in full coat. the dog at adoption was clipped down. they should have used the more current pictures. also they did not supply the entire vet history. only the last visit. the complete history isn't required but i would have appreciated it. nor was the heartworm status and microchip status presented at the meetup but they willingly gave it to me within minutes of sending a text asking. . this was partly my fault. i had it in my mind exactly what to ask but right at the meeting greeting the sky opened up and we had to move inside the pet supply store to conduct it so things got somewhat confusing and lost. i suggest everyone write their questions down about vaccines and preventative meds in case you have similar mother nature issues. the adoption is now complete, the dog is doing fine and everything the owner told me appears to be correct. i am very happy with this little dog and the transaction and it saved this dog from having to stay in a shelter. that was a real plus. she and i are buddies now enjoying each other greatly.

this is a great website, but please be aware that there are scammers. i'm in new york so details may be different where you live. here are the signs of a scammer: - guardian has a common male name with no picture provided. where i am, it's usually "john' or "jackson." - description of the dog usually, but not always, has horrible grammar. usually, the scammer says that "he/she like to be ride in car" or "he/she like to be held carried." - the pictures of the dog are usually taken off the internet, and occasionally the dog is listed as way older than he/she looks in the pictures. - the most common breeds in my area are french bulldog, samoyed, golden retriever and pomeranian. the most common names are "willy," "bella," "rosy" and "bear." - the dog is listed as spayed/neutered, fully house trained (even though it's usually a "4 month old" puppy!!!) and is left "inside loose" when the guardian is gone. - the reason for the scammer surrendering the dog is always, "not enough time to spend with (name)." - the veterinarian is not listed, and the last time the dog visited the vet is "unknown." - additional information, if provided, is almost always "hope he/she finds a better home here soon." please be careful on this website! i will probably be picking up a dog this summer (not a scam though)!

We met and adopted a fantastic lab mix, Taco, using “Get Your Pet”. I could see why reviews may be negative since the experience is a lot like buying a used car. You’re meeting a stranger who wants to find a home for their pet, so overselling them and not being truthful about bad behaviors and medical problems are a risk. While Get Your Pet was perfect for us, here’s some advice for an adopter. First, if you choose to meet choose a safe, public place – and never exchange any money. We met in a park with an enclosed basketball area to throw a ball. We watched Taco run and took the ball from his mouth repeatedly. We looked at his stool when he defecated and saw him get nose-to-nose with other dogs. We brought our own balls and leash, just in case. We also asked the former owner to bring Taco’s medical records and then we spoke to his vet (you’ll need permission). No matter how adorable the pet is, it’s heartbreaking to find out problems later. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Pet parents also have to vet the potential adopters. Try to verify their info, google their address after the meet and even ask for references. This isn’t a site that does this, so it’s up to you to protect your pet and make sure they go to a good home.

We got an incredible dog and he has been with us for two weeks now. Overall we are happy to have found our lovable family member. We were lucky he was up-to-date on all shots, healthy, and we were given many supplies by the previous guardian. We started looking for a pet on this website in July of 2020 when everyone on the planet was looking for one. We talked with 23 families over the course of eight months until we finally found a match for our family. It took a long time, but ultimately, we ended up with a great dog. So here's why I knocked off a star: I don't quite understand why they charge ($99) --it sounds reasonable compared to shelter costs, but I understand why shelters charge money. They have employees to pay, physical space to pay, food and supplies. Also, and THIS IS IMPORTANT a shelter will ensure all of the animals get vaccinations, are microchipped, are neuter/spayed, and are healthy (having spent time with a foster from shelter) before you adopt! GetYourPet does not do any of that...and if fact, if you read other reviews you will see that people have ended up spending quite a bit to return the pet to health. The only service they provide is the website itself (which costs money to maintain (but it is a very clunky interface) and answer email questions (which is very slow or not at all). In addition, they make money through advertising on the website. So I don't understand the need to charge $99 -- again, it sounds like a bargain, but what are they providing for that? They say they offer a "legal" adoption, but rehoming agreements can easily found online. The wellness checks from their network of vets generally offer the "wellness" check at a discounted rate anyway (much less than $99). PetValue coupons are useless because they have gone out of business, and the Rover coupons offered are available to anyone. So again, what are you getting for the $99? Most frustrating is that there is no way to speak to anyone --only email and in my case the interface was so clunky that I was unable to communicate with the guardian (after we had agreed to meet again to exchange the dog) because the guardian had suspended the account (she was getting bombarded with requests). I wrote customer service and never got a response back. Luckily the guardian opened the account again to communicate with me so we could finalize the adoption. Again, overall we were grateful for this site and it definitely was an easier process than going through a long shelter application/interview process. It was also great to know the previous guardian and to be able to remain in touch with an "open" adoption! If you are considering this site, go for it. Just be sure to do your homework and understand what you are getting yourself into. A shelter will ensure the dog is neutered and has all shots--you won't have that guarantee here. One last tip--I suggest you insist on meeting up with the owner in a public place. This will allow you to see the dog in an environment where they might not be as comfortable. I would recommend asking to take the dog for walk (with the guardian). Go with a list of questions and ask them to provide you the previous vet records. You will learn a lot through the vet records.

EDIT: Following the review, I received a kind email from Brian, which I truly appreciated and they were going to follow up on the case. I love the concept, however they sadly allow scammers. Hopefully, this rarely occurs and it happened to us... I was also disappointed by the communication I had with the company as they told me they have absolutely no control over who supposedly claims to be a "guardian" and will allow anyone meaning any adopter/guardian. Sounds safer to adopt through a reliable shelter.

Very helpful on helping us get matched to a great dog. Site was easy to use
