## Description

Petfinder's adoption extension helps you discover pets in shelters and rescues near you. Browse dogs, cats, puppies, and more, with filters for location, breed, age, size, and gender. View photos and videos, share profiles with friends or family, and start the adoption process directly from the app.

New visual search lets you upload a photo to find similar-looking pets nationwide. It also provides curated care resources on hypoallergenic breeds, cat breeds, and family-friendly options to help you choose the right companion.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for easy use and strong, customizable search filters that help find a good pet fit and enable adoptions. However, recurring issues include crashes, login sign-outs, and unreliable location-based results that show far-away pets or incorrect regions, along with occasional empty or irrelevant results. Performance can be slow. The missing in-app out-of-town filter and filtering gaps hinder accuracy. Overall, the tool is valuable when it works, but stability and filtering accuracy need improvement.

### Pros

- Easy to use and learn about the animals
- Highly customizable search filters with saved criteria
- Helpful for finding the right fit and enabling adoptions
- Provides informative animal details and pictures to aid decision-making

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or the app won’t open
- Location/distance filtering is unreliable, showing distant listings or incorrect regions
- Slow performance, glitches, and random sign-outs/log-in problems
- Some searches return 'no animals available' or irrelevant results
- Out-of-town filter options are missing in the app (not available like on the website)
