Never any response at all. I've sent multiple requests on dogs & all I get are "crickets"

Since Purina took over Petfinder, you have to agree to receive their advertising. Then the software doesn't work properly. It takes multiple attempts to logon. They erased all my saved searches from before.

I adopted 2 kittens from Cat Tales Rescue in Seabrook, NH eight weeks ago. The day we went there; the address was incorrect online & it took us 30 min to find the office space they occupy. There are no signs or numbers on the building indicating it's a rescue & the windows have white paint smeared on the inside so you cannot see in or out. We were brought into a room our kittens were in & left alone. It was such an awful site in that room. I have pictures of my kittens & 4 other cats squished under the sink in that room hiding in the cupboard. The urine smell was so intense that we couldn't stay long. We were told to come back in 5 days because the vet needed to clear them. My mission now became to rescue these babies from this "rescue". We did pick them up which was also awful. Six families waited 45 min for the owner to show up & the first couple left without their kittens due to an eye infection. I was told my kittens were healthy & Kelly the owner said she wasn’t sure why bloodwork was done on the female but it was all normal. Well within 24 hrs of having my kittens home, they were in the ER with 104 fevers and pneumonia. They were filthy, smelled like urine & the vet had to cut stuff out of the boys tail because it was so matted. We've now had two ER visits, five vet visits & six different prescriptions. They had viral and bacterial infections, multiple parasites & the vet said they would not have made it much longer if they were not seen that day. He showed us that the blood work results done at the shelter were all elevated including infection/ inflammatory markers. They also were not micro chipped as promised . I reached out to the rescue multiple times with no response. In the females records I was given by the shelter, we also discovered that the rescue vet had prescribed an antibiotic for an eye infection for 10 days. I picked the kittens up on day 5 of it with no mention of any medication being prescribed. The application that they have you fill out states that all cats are have feline herpes. This is not true at all! They know they are selling sick kittens. I wish I had read it more thoroughly, but was just so excited to adopt new kittens and would've never expected them to be in this condition. There is no way that the vet saw these kittens and cleared them as being in good health. The ER vet & my vet of 17 years said they haven't seen such a sad, horrible case of neglect in years. This “ non profit organization “ also had its 501c revoked 3 years ago - its on IRS site. NONE of their information such as their EIN a number; financial IRS documents such as Form 990, 501c- is available to view on their website. it all should be available as they clearly receive donation

Sent multiple emails and filled out a form a couple of weeks ago. No reply, no acknowledgement. No one answers when you send in application.

I've emailed several places wanting to adopt a cat. Zero replies back. Why have animals posted for adoption and ignore potential adopters. Disappointing.

Unreliable and disingenuous. I sent a request for information for a kitten in Killeen, TX just over ago. The information on Petfinder stated the kitten was at Killeen Animal Services. After no response through Petfinder, I emailed the shelter. They stated they had no kitten named Fraulein nor any kitten that matched the description. I stopped by the shelter and I was told the kitten was adopted out over 3 months ago. I emailed Petfinder last Wednesday and the kitten is still listed as available on the app. The shelter stated they have has many issues and complaints about Petfinder listing animals that are unavailable and not updating the listings.

My name is Arianna If I could give them 0 stars I would have. I filled out so many applications with Petfinder, IDR, and Recently Crisis Dogs NC and my application was submitted and denied. I believe it’s because my Neighbor asked a question about breeding her dog which has nothing to do with me. My dog passed away last year and my life became lonely and I wanted to adopt a puppy to feel alive again but here is what IDR message says and my response to IDR. Island Dog Rescue Responds: Thank you for your interest in Jax. I noticed that size was a concern with a previous pup, and Jax is actually quite a bit larger. Scotch is adopted. After discussing with the IDR team, we feel that based on your needs, including the recent conversations about breeding and your upcoming surgery, our rescue may not be the best fit for what you’re looking for at this time. For these reasons, we’ve decided to cancel your application and will not be moving forward with any adoptions. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we wish you all the best in finding the right companion. Thank you for considering us. My Response to Them: First off I was not the one asking about breeding a dog that was my Neighbor and because I was going to get surgery should not been an issue with adopting a dog. I feel like I was being Judged about a conversation that had nothing to do with me. I will find the right companion. Thank you

Horrible all these dogs but nobody emails or calls you back I have a yard i have always owned dogs and I cannot get a response Fanabala all creatures sanctuary Rochester N.Y . Rescue pups in friendship N.Y How do you want these dogs adopted when you refuse to email or call anyone back my friends and family have reached out and nothing. So here it goes Get a purebred your guaranteed that puppy or dog and your not waiting on these "Rescues" that either don't have time or there a scam. And then you have all these sad stories but you don't call or email anyone that wants to offer a wonderful loving home to one of your dogs. Shame on you
