Some real owners but many SCAMMERS The first 6 or 7 pet owners/pets I inquired about were scams. Owner demanding $100 via VENMO to even "meet" the pet or to "process paperwork" - or asking for $650 for me to buy the pet directly from them- and the pets obviously did not exist. I alerted GetYourPet and they blocked a few of them - but have let so many of these scams stay on the site for weeks and weeks. I did talk to 1 obvious real owner, and there are real owners on the site but if it's a pic of an adorable purebred-looking puppy it's most likely a scam. I just wish the people running the site would police it better!

A lot of scammers on this site apparently Attempted to adopt a pet from the site. Seemed too good to be true and was. the individual asked for $80 to pay for some vet transfer which I paid. Then came back an hour or so later saying he forgot he needed another $100 to change breeder ownership or something. I refused and he broker off conversation and kept my money.

Be Patient and Follow Up after - don't pay owner, pay the website! Very difficult platform within which to actually communicate with the pet's 'guardian'. After making an appointment with the pet's owner and her bailing on me at the last minute after driving a long way out of my way - she rescheduled to meet me the next day only later. I was very nervous and refused to get my hopes up but after all the drama we met, she surrendered her adorable male cat to me and now I happily have a new furbaby. I did go out to the site immediately after and "followed up" and paid the $49 adoption fee for a cat. I've since had him neutered and a few vaccines and he's finally settling down (after a week of "marking" and yeowling the most horrific sounding noises ever. He needed his nuts cut!

I rescued my best friend from this… I rescued my best friend from this site. I lost her 4 years later (she was an older Golden) and I am now ready to rescue and not sure where to turn to. You offered us pets that were still in homes that we could find out if raised with children, etc... i've tried rescues but they have no idea about their pets history. Where can i go from here? I even let her original owner know of her passing and he was so sad but glad i let him know

What a terrible experience What a terrible experience. My husband and I were interested in a Bichon Frise named Bobby. We contacted owner Paul about meeting up. He agreed but then throughout the morning he kept saying that he needed 80 dollars for his vet to transfer the ownership papers and then came back 3 times saying the vet hadn't received the payments through PayPal. He then asked for 150 dollars so he could get the dog a new cage and special food. Lesson learned the hard way.
