I was waiting to get scammed.
Spent a lot of time on a lot of different websites, trying to find the right dog to add to our family. After a few weeks of trying, and failing on all fronts (craigslist, local shelters, facebook groups, etc) I decided to give GetYourPet my final attempt at finding a new pup. The website was slightly confusing in how it worked, and if I'm honest, I couldnt tell if this site was even legit or not. But this was my hail mary, so I threw caution to the wind and signed up. I ran into the perfect dog (an all black Cane Corso) on my first search. Honestly, the whole thing looked too good to be true and I was fully prepared for it to be fake. I gave it a shot (because why not) and reached out to the owner. To my suspicious surprise, I had an actual dialogue with this owner, and made actual plans to meet. But until I saw this pup with my own eyes, I was fully expecting this to turn into a scam, or find out that there was a catch. Maybe I'm too cynical. But long story short, after one meet up, I brought her home :) Ive read lots of horror stories on here about scams and terrible adoption situations, but ours was the absolute opposite. Maybe we we're one of the lucky ones. But our new baby girl is exactly what we expected and hoped she would be. So, while bad users seem to be the biggest issue, we're proof that there are legit people on there that just want to be good humans and find a good home for their pet. TLDR: Use good judgement when looking for a new pet on here, and know what you're getting into. Scammers exist, BUT, there are absolutely legitimate and good people on there too.
