Since it appears that many people leaving reviews here are computer/internet illiterate, I thought I'd write a "review" to help these people.Okay. So, you leave an inquiry about a pet that you really, really want and you're so excited because this one pet is absolutely perfect for you, but... You don't hear back. Well, that's very discouraging. The thing is, some shelters don't look at inquiries they receive through Petfinder. That's not their fault nor is it Petfinder's fault. You have to keep in mind that shelters receive numerous inquiries about the pets they have because animals are cute and adorable. You're not the only one who thinks Sasha would be the perfect fit for your family.I see Petfinder as a way of looking at nearby shelters to see what they have before I go there in person just so I'm not wasting gas/time. Most shelters have their own websites that they include in the description of the pets they have listed on Petfinder. You can still send inquiries through Petfinder, but you can also go to the shelter's website and submit an application. You can absolutely still send an inquiry through Petfinder, but just make sure you also submit an application through a shelter's website (if they have one) so there's a higher chance your request/inquiry will be seen by someone.
