I tried to get 3 dogs and never heard from them, no way they care about animals. They are discussing

My experience using adoption platforms such as Adopt-a-Pet and Petfinder raised concerns about how the adoption screening process works across many independent rescues that list animals through these services. I fully support adoption and believe rescue organizations play an important role in helping animals find homes. However, the structure of the system allows individual rescues and foster volunteers to make final determinations about adopters without any clear indication that there are standardized training requirements, behavioral certification standards, or veterinary-level evaluation involved in those decisions. For prospective adopters, it can be surprising to learn that the people evaluating applications may simply be volunteers rather than individuals with formal training in animal behavior assessment or veterinary medicine. While many volunteers are undoubtedly well-intentioned, the lack of consistent professional standards can lead to subjective decisions that vary widely from one rescue to another. Because platforms like Adopt-a-Pet and Petfinder function as centralized marketplaces for adoptable animals, the public may assume there are consistent oversight standards guiding these evaluations. In reality, the process can differ significantly depending on the rescue or foster group managing the listing. Greater transparency about qualifications, evaluation criteria, and decision-making processes would improve trust for adopters and help ensure that placement decisions are made in a way that benefits both animals and families.

Great site easy to navigate with excellent support throughout the process! We successfully adopted the pup we were looking for. Highly recommend!

We listed a senior shitzu and explained we could no longer take care of him due to health issues. Had 2 people respond that they wanted to adopt him. I responded quickly to both within a couple of hours. I called , sent e mails texts. Finally one apologized after 5 days saying she could not adopt him. Thats it. The other sent the adoption papers over, called her ,emailed her, finally texted her next day. Finally she answered found another dog. Then why are you wasting my time.24 hours had not even past. Very frustrating .

These people do not have the dogs best interest at heart because if they did, they wouldn’t be adopting pets out for $1000 as a rescue 650 the point about rescue is to save an animals life and not put a price tag on it. That’s so un affordable for somebody and if somebody had that kind of money they could go to a breeder and get a brand new puppy I’ve come across so many scams. I also found out that even though it’s a nonprofit, I don’t know if people know this, but the people that are running adopt a pet the Mars group the CEO of the company makes hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars and I’ve come across so many scams and it breaks my heart cause there’s so many dogs out there that need loving homes. It’s like for somebody that wants to adopt a child that can bear one of their own because adopted animals and adopted children are so very wanted and me. I lost my dog of almost 11 years to stomach cancer and I want so much to make a difference and adopt a dog, but I cannot afford their fees and these people do not care and mind you where I live. We have clinics to get shots at inexpensive cost. There’s veterinarians that do low-cost Spayed and neutering “I believe believe in I’m so disappointed just like the medical system just like our judicial system and now be adoption of pets is just another form of injustice with broken links.

You should know they only pick the best homes so be prepared to prove yourself. It’s in the best interest of the animals not you, as it should be. It took us a a couple weeks of being persistent and having our other two dogs spayed and neutered to comply with the requirements. Our dog was rescued after being hit by a car so the fence requirement was completely understandable and after that the adoption process was simple. Our new rescue dog is more than we could have asked for. We love him more each day. In Sacramento we met Divya and her husband and I must say these people are angels sent from God saving these pets from being euthanized. Bless these guys for their hard work and sacrifice giving all the animals a second chance for a loving home. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart and our new boy will be loved and enjoyed the rest of his life. We give Adopt A Pet, A+ and 💯 percent recommend them.

Posted my cat for adoption, a perfectly healthy and cute cat, and I never got even ONE application. They charged me 75 dollars for doing what?

I submitted an adoption application, paid the fee, and received zero communication or updates from the team. Their site felt like a data-collector with little follow-through, leaving me frustrated and without a pet. Not recommended at all.
