Xaurthaon,
Let me sort out what I don’t want/haven’t liked
This app is great, but is could easily be so much better and more useful if it let you swipe left or right toward what dogs you either do or don’t want to see again. That way, you don’t have to wade through the same profiles you know you aren’t interested in pursuing adoption with when you go through the app multiple times looking for a dog to adopt. You can favorite dogs and shelters, but you can’t exclude them, which makes repeated searches less easy-you keep on seeing the same dogs you know you’re not looking to adopt. And it’s harder to check back to see new profiles. Also, some shelters have certain rules that will exclude people’s family situations. It would be great to take those shelter’s listings out of the results.
Additionally, and tangentially, you should be able and to exclude breeds that you don’t want to see. Regardless of how you feel about breeds like put bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman’s and other such work/guard dog breeds, adoption is about finding the right fit for dog and family, so if a family doesn’t feel comfortable having a certain breed in the mix, it is an easy fix in the app to try to exclude that. I got it, mixed breed is never a guarantee, but there are enough honest listings that say that the dog in profile has some/most/all part of these type of dogs that it would be better to not waste people’s time including these dogs in the search results.

Needs an option to refine search by location
We are searching for a puppy and I have used the website for awhile. There’s lots of information about animals, breeds and more and I appreciate that the site is tied to shelters and not breeders but I do have to log in every time and sometimes multiple times during the same search. Last week I decided to see if there was an app that would make our search easier. While the app provides all the same information as the website I was disappointed when my favorites from the website did not transfer to my favorites on the app despite using the same log in information. I was able to search for the pup by name and add them that way but it’s time consuming. I was also not able to refine my search by location and unlike the website the app doesn’t appear to sort by distance. The farthest search you can do is 100 miles and the next option is anywhere. We are willing to drive up to 300 miles but not necessarily across the country. When you search “anywhere” you have to open each profile to see where the animal is located and since there are so many dogs it’s too hard to find one that’s near us. For now I am searching on the website and keeping my favorites in the app. I do like the app and find it useful but I think it could be even better!
Cacalescales,
App is fine, but you wait and hear nothing.
The app works fine, and is a nice tool for viewing a lot of dogs in one place. That’s not the problem. The problem is the rescues. You can spend an hour+ filling out their application forms, and never hear a thing, while the dog remains on Petfinder unadopted. I understand most are staffed by volunteer, but you would expect some level of professionalism from an organization that deals with the public. Many want home visits which is completely unnecessary, especially if anyone is willing to pay the $200-$400+ fees they’re asking. Adopting a dog should not involve giving strangers access to your home. I don’t know how a lot of these places run their business but they really don’t seem to want to adopt out these dogs. They make the process more difficult than adopting a baby.
Also, the rescues don’t always tell the entire truth. Some of the dogs are markers, or biters, or runners. This is never disclosed. There seems to be quite a level of trickery or dishonesty with these rescues. Also, some dogs are posted, and when you ask about them you’re told that their fosters have decided to adopt them. Understandable, but not really fair. I also believe that some hold back dogs to adopt to certain people they already know.
There should be a way for App users to rate these establishments so others don’t waste their time.

corsophoto,
Love the layout, though there are sign in issues
I love the way the whole app is laid out and I was able to access when we went to the shelter to adopt a cat. My main issue with the app is that it makes you go through like six sign in screens before it gets to your account. Then it will not stay logged in, so you have to do it all over again. Once you have seen the pets and narrowed down your faves who you might go back for, you want to unfavorite a few, you get kicked out repeatedly. Aside from that glitch, I would give it 5 stars. It would really be revolutionary if the website itself had one really rigorous adoption app you could fill out that would stay on file for like 6 months so you are pre-vetted (pun not intended) and you don’t have to keep filing out apps if one or two situations don’t work out. I’m not about being too lazy to fill out all those apps but I was not in love with having to bother the people that I listed as references repeatedly with calls. It would be nice to pare down that part of the whole adoption process on an already awesome website.
Bad Blood by Talyor Swift,
AMAZING!!! Love it buuuut
I love this app. It had many features that help me with finding the dog we need and want. The only issue I’d say if the filtering, needed add-ons, and not being able to report “rescues”.
For the filtering, I added I only want a small dog but I still have to add the extra filter. It isn’t the most needed thing but I feel like it would help having your inquiry details be the filter.
Something I feel that should be added is seeing if the dog is hypoallergenic or not. For me, shedding dogs is something I can’t stand, but I feel like adding that for a filter could help.
Lastly, we visited a “rescue” which with a close eye, we realised it was actually a puppy mill, not a rescue. We were going to report them by weren’t able to because there wasn’t a way to. I feel like it would be a great add to be able to report rescues if something was wrong or worrying.
Generally this app is amazing and works perfect and is helping me beautifully.

Nothing wrong
I have only had this app for a couple of days but so far nothing has happened. I really love this app i think though that one thing should be fixed and i just have a few suggestions. First you shouldn’t have to update the app or sign in to like a animal what if I can’t make an account. I think that should be fixed and everything’s really good I just want to say a few suggestions. I feel like their shouldn’t be so many places to like press it should be two things not so many like a home area and a search on the home should be everything besides search. Also actually one thing I hate how it auto corrects what I put I had even turned off auto correction and it still auto corrected me I’m not sure if It only does that to me.
Babycats1017,
Keeps Crashing
App keeps crashing! Every time I find a Kitten Rescue I like, with several beautiful cats & kittens, I will scroll through the various profiles to see which fuzzy face speaks to me. Once I see that face, I click on “view profile” (there’s a brief pause) & right then is when the whole app shuts down.
In order to get back to that specific profile, I must redo my last search, find a cat that I’ve previously favorited (from the same rescue,) go to their profile & then click on “see shelter details” in order to get the full list of pets & re-find the kitten I was looking for. This has happened several times in the last 24 hours, making the search for my new pet EXTREMELY frustrating.
I have to agree with another reviewer too, that there should be a general Pet Finder application for all users. If you’re interested in three different pets from 3 different rescues - you’ll have 3 different applications to download, fill out & email. Not to mention there is no link in PF. you must copy the url into your browser in order to get to each application. I’m sure that I’ve missed out on cats because I couldn’t get the application finished soon enough.
Please listen to everyone’s reviews & improve this app. It’s a life-saving service for animals & in many ways, for people too. It would be a shame for someone to give up on their commitment to adopt, because the app is just too frustrating to use.

justaregularhousewife,
Good, but can use some work
i don’t typically write reviews (this would be my first one in all honesty), but i’m the most familiar with this app. though please note that i’ve only used this app to browse dogs that are in my area - not to communicate to shelters or rescues through (or even to search for other types of animals that are on the app).
overall it’s a pleasant app that updates every night at midnight! the filters aren’t worth their salt if you’re only looking for a certain type of dog because it severely limits your options to shelters or rescues that take the time to fill out those sections. one of my favorite local humane societies often has great dogs for adoption, but never fills out those sections for filtering so their dogs never show up in a lot of searches. i suggest just selecting your dog size, age, and gender while selecting “dogs nearest to me” so that you can see all the potential dogs you can meet in person. 😀💕
my biggest pet peeve is the dogs the app recommends to me. there are certain dog breeds that i’m just not interested in adopting, yet they get recommended to me anyway despite me trying to put breeds on my “HOA breed restriction” list in the about me section.
as for the crashing and constantly being asked to log in, they seem to have fixed that and i’m much appreciative of that. 💕

TwirlGirl85,
Well, it was kind of helpful...
PetFinder has been my preferred website/app to search for new pets. It’s very clean, easy to use, and I like that I can use it on both my phone and PC. But there are a few kinks that definitely need to be worked out.
1. As other users have said, even if you log in with the same credentials, your favorites don’t sync between devices.
2. It would be helpful if you could rule certain breeds out of your search. My apartment complex doesn’t allow several breeds, so it’s time consuming to comb through all the results to find breeds that are allowed.
3. The latest update to the app is a deal breaker. I don’t know what they did, but after about 5 minutes running the app, it starts severely lagging, and within a minute freezes up not just the app, but my phone as well. A pet search app should not bring my iPhone 11 Pro to its knees.
So unfortunately, for the time being, I’ll be switching to WeRescue as my main pet search app. I hope PetFinder can work out the kinks, since I really like their app/website.
