I was interested in 2 different dogs and both were scams. I reported the first one and the profile was removed and now I just reported the 2nd one which I assume will also be removed. They both were the same type of dog and both asked for my full name and to send them $50 for documents from their vets. I had never even met the dog. This was conversation before the meet up. Beware of this site! I wonder if the whole thing is a scam?
I selected several ads from this site, all were scam! no control, nothing to report.. Avoid this platform!!!!!!
Scammers. I got scammed three times and then deleted my account. This is a fake website.
I’ve had three interactions with dog owners one that didn’t contact me at all for days and then when I said I’d meet tomorrow they jumped at that and then I said I wanted a recent picture and they didn’t respond at all. So they’re probably a scam the next time I checked on a dog and you’re not supposed to pay cash to anybody but the agency who is Aligning all these meetings with dogs finding new homes however, they wanted me to pay additional money with PayPal to them which was against all the policies that’s the second scam. The third scam is another dog which if you look at the picture he’s an Alaskan malamute, but yet the description is nothing like an Alaskan malamute so it’s clearly not the owner of the dog he just filled out the form and use some other dogs photo another scam. You cannot trust this site at all.
Like Craigslist, mostly scams and people who lie to get their animals rehomed. Opted instead to pay $2500 to a German Shepherd breeder with a health guarantee and great temperament. Some things are worth the money especially when children are part of the equation. Stay safe, lots of bad people out there.
I saw a Goldendoodle (I know…too good to be true) in VA. Had a lengthy conversation back and forth with the guardian. We eventually set up a meeting which was 1.5 hrs away from us. He had mentioned that he needed to see our IDs for a “background check”. I was ok with a public records search and showing him my ID for legitimacy. I made it clear to him that he would not obtain a copy of my ID nor would he be getting our SSN number for any background check. He said that was fine and completely understood. He just wanted to make sure we were who we were I assume. The day came and we drove to the meet up site at Petsmart. He was a No Show and never responded again to the messages. His name was Keerthi in VA around Sterling. The dogs name was Simba. Best of luck for anyone that has been successful on that site but I won’t use or waste my time again.
Scammers!!! Asking for money for vet documents 60$ transfer through PayPal I have Contact and other dog same thing This is no legitimate site the scammers probably own it
I found GetYourPet quite by accident. I saw a pup that I was interested in and completed the on-line form available on the website around 9am that morning. By noon, the owner had contacted me and by 6pm that evening we had met and we both knew that the match-up was meant to be! The experience was exactly as the site said it would be, from arranging the initial "meet-n-greet", to the moment I picked up my 4-legged friend. There was never a question of money(???), as that is handled through the organization, not the owner. Both the owner and I followed along with the "rules" and suggestions offered by the site and it all went as described. Two years later, I am looking at another adoption, through this organization. Thank you to GetYourPet and Good Luck to All!
Far far too many scammers on this site. There is no way to flag them or report them and they often ask you to send them money up front for fake documents. Do NOT use this site.
Thought I had found the dog of my dreams. I made an appointment for a meet and greet . The map on the website was incorrect and I missed the appointment.I tried to reschedule but the owner refused because I "wasted his time." It was obvious that a man would not have wasted his time. I could not reach anyone for help.
I inquired about 5 different dogs - 2 were scams (1 asked for money before meeting up, 1 asked for my full name and social security number LOL), 2 never answered, and 1 changed the meet up 3 times, ghosted me in a dark parking lot in the rain, and then when we set ANOTHER new date to meet up the following week, I got a message saying that the dog was adopted to someone else who met him and fell in love with him that day. This site is not monitored enough.
BE AWARE OF A "SELLER" NAMED "ANNE" AS THAT I POMERANIAN "TONIA" (HER NAME WAS PRINCESS WHEN I INQUIRED MONTHS AGO THEN GOT ROBBED BY THE PERSON),IT IS 100% FALSE. THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR MONEY COUNTLESS TIMES THEN HAVE YOU DRIVE 2.5 HOURS TO MEET UP AND FINALLY BRING THE DOG HOME THEN NEVER SHOW UP. THEY ARE 100% A SCAM. THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO USE DIFFERENT PHOTOS.
I had scheduled meetups 4 times, different people. One wanted me to send a deposit before we met, another wanted money to transfer paperwork, one cancelled and told me she had to work and will send a driver to my house wanted my address. Another had a corgi, wanted to meet me in a cemetery in the afternoon. It was neat tmw , but she cancelled when I suggested Petsmart. I had no luck meeting a real person
Terrible! Scammers left and right. When you report them, they delete the scammer listing and the scammer then lists another dog new acct right after. They ask for money to p/u the vet papers. They list 6mos old Frenchies, Poms that are good w all ppl, animals, follow all commands. To good to be true is.
Terrible website with zero customer service support. I re-homed my pet and less than 24 hours later, the family “changed their minds” and truthfully wanted to keep the free items I gave them while using them for another dog. I contacted getyourpet.com days ago to ZERO responses. I want to get my pet back as I’m worried about their safety. Countless emails, phone calls, nothing. The person named Angela who is supposedly the owner doesn’t respond to her emails either. The website will take your money and that’s about it. Stay away.
If I could have given a zero I would. Got so excited to get a new puppy only to find out it was a scam. They clearly don’t check into “guardians” and then it’s shame on us. Do not use this site!!
Be careful there are many scammers on the site asking for gas money, vet money before they meet with you to supposedly give you a pet. I wrote to Angela one of the owners of the site and she wasn't vigilant in deleting the accounts. They just keep posting the same puppies like French Bulldogs and pomeranians- BEWARE. Do not send money to any of the dog owners who ask for it since you will never here from them again.
Not sure how much of this is a reflection on the site or the individual, but I was completely ghosted by a guy who I had been messaging about adopting his dog. I was all set to meet him and he goes and declines the meet up and his account is deleted a few hours before we are set to meet. It's upsetting because I was set to meet with another dog that I lost out on as well because I had agreed to meet this dog first. Especially disappointed because I saw his ad via petfinder and that made me feel it was more legit. Unfortunately after this bad first experience I will not be using this app again.
I have to say I did find myself a dog and one for my son on get your pet site. It was not easy as so many scammers go on it. I did find 2 wonderful dogs here that are spoiled and loved in their forever homes. I did try to find another one from a person named Mary with a shitzu named stella for my 18 yr daughter to add to our family her but the person set up a meet up 2 times and never showed up or responded after I drove to the meet up location they set up, so it’s either a scammer or a prank. A waste of of time. But if anyone asks for money remember not to send any monies because that is a rule on the site. When you get the dog you pay online to getyourpet. Then you get paper work from the site and some coupons for discount dog supplies and vet visit. Most scammers put pics of puppies and ask for money to be wired , Apple Pay or cashapp. Do not send anything to them. Report it to the site so they can remove them and warn others.
good experience. i adopted a dog being rehomed thru this group only this past week. everything went well but not without any hiccups. this is not my first rodeo. i used to show two breeds in conformation and obedience and volunteered with a breed specific rescue for over 20 years. the young family were honest in most everything they presented the dog to be. the major flaws was the dog pictured was in full coat. the dog at adoption was clipped down. they should have used the more current pictures. also they did not supply the entire vet history. only the last visit. the complete history isn't required but i would have appreciated it. nor was the heartworm status and microchip status presented at the meetup but they willingly gave it to me within minutes of sending a text asking. . this was partly my fault. i had it in my mind exactly what to ask but right at the meeting greeting the sky opened up and we had to move inside the pet supply store to conduct it so things got somewhat confusing and lost. i suggest everyone write their questions down about vaccines and preventative meds in case you have similar mother nature issues. the adoption is now complete, the dog is doing fine and everything the owner told me appears to be correct. i am very happy with this little dog and the transaction and it saved this dog from having to stay in a shelter. that was a real plus. she and i are buddies now enjoying each other greatly.
