Petfinder in Columbus Ohio. Chatty Cathy specifically. My wife went through the interview process, then drove 2 hour to visit the kitty. The facilitator (Mirna) treated her like crap. Way to intrusive. But my wife answered all her questions because we really wanted another cat. We just lost ours after 15 years. These type of people are not looking out for the best interest of these animals. Many great homes are being denied or alienated because of their process. Stay away from this organization.
Trying to get information about adopting. And they want your life history and then you can't even log on to their site or make an account. You would you think they would make it a little bit easier. we have cats and my I daughter wants a new cat for herself and it is a really dig chore to even sign up to get info. Wath a shame. These animals need a home and you would think you are adopting a new born. That if you even can long on to the site to ask questions.
SCAMMERS! I contacted Petfinders since I was interested in two dogs (Milo & Chevy) they advertised. I went to see the dogs, at the groomers house, and had to wait for Janet the person in charge of the adoption. I waited for almost two hours for Janet to arrive. She told me that the dogs were available and she would bring me the application for adoption to my house the next day. Janet never arrived and when I called her she indicated that she was at the Vet getting the dogs vacintated and would call me back which she never did. I called back later that night and she told me that she was still at the Vet and would call be back in a harsh tone. I called and texted the 772 245-0444 which is the number on their website inquiring about the dogs and they have not returned my calls either. I saw these same dogs on another website. Be aware that something is very wrong with this company.
I think this site goes too far as far as pet adoption sites are concerned. You have to give them way too much personal and pet history. A potential agency may contact you and give you the riot act saying that don't have any idea how to take care of your animals when you have had animals over 30 years. Plus they give vague information on the shelters. I also believe that some of the shelters, don't care for the animals properely, based on my personal experience with this site. I may have to report one of these shelters to animal control for neglect of an animal.
Petfinder, and other "rescue" sites ask for ridiculous information to adopt a dog, do they think people willing to mistreat a pet would pay $450. They called my vet, of 28 years, and commented how my dog is not up on his vaccines. He is, he does not get unnecessary "boosters" every year. The last straw was asking if I was divorced or single and could I prove that I owned my home. I have found a puppy, probably not from a great source, who needs a home also, probably the same place they get theirs before they clean them up and charge $450. In the end these "rescues" are making the perfect the enemy of the good and the animals still suffer.
I was/am very interested in adopting an older bird. Petfinder put time restraints on when they can evaluate and how many applications they process a month which I think is the first 3-5 applications. There was a November 2023 to January 15 2024 wait before they would even look at your initial application. It is 1-27-24 and I still did not receive a response from them. I am looking to adopt an older bird, which clearly shows I am not a breeder, or trying to resell a bird, but a person who just wants to give a bird a good home. I do not believe this is fair to people who surrender their birds to them, only to have them hoarded and not be given a forever home.
You cannot get alive operator on the phone. They never respond to their emails. They give a very hard time to the non profits, so they can sign up and list their pets. They do not check out the people who register for accounts. Someone contacted us through them that had a fake name. So my idea is they should do better. Checking for the people who are registering to get pets. I am a nonprofit and I have not had anything good to say about this company since i've been dealing with them . Would I recommend them definitely not. The customer service not none.So I feel like Writing a review is the only way to make my issues heard. But I think they can do better. No I don't I think across-the-board this company. It might have been meant for something great, but their service is horrible. They don't help the people who were registered. They don't check out the people who are registering to get pets. Make sure they're real people..
Petfinder is a waste of time. No responses from shelters after taking the time to apply to each one individually. Plus, the shelters don't keep their information updated on a regular basis. You find an ideal pet only to find that they've already been adopted. Unfortunately, I will be shelling out cash to a breeder who is available to answer my questions and can confirm that the cat or kitten is still available. I can also choose a cat that is less likely to be purchased because it is retired or unsuitable to breed.
