I went on a lot of sites looking for a Shih Tzu puppy and puppies.com was the best site. They give you opportunities to search in the area that you would like at the price that you can afford and the people who advertise there seem legitimate sellers.
I was really scared of being scammed as I was just a few days prior to using the site. I was so thankful that it wasn't!
Puppies.com is a user-friendly site. The search feature allows you to narrow the location and to search for specific breeds. I like that the site gives information about the pup and the breeder. Awesome site!
Very informative. Great pictures & all information needed to get started looking for your forever fur baby.
It looked like I had no messaging when I looked at my listing. I didn't realize that I had messages until in clicked on the message center.
Ever since puppies.com took over puppy find.com, the amount of exposure went down drastically. I used to find homes for all my puppies through puppy find com. Now my puppies find homes through AKC marketplace and other websites. I hardly get any inquiries from puppies.com.
Way too many clearly auto messages from fake profiles just to keep you spending money in hopes one of them responds back with a sale. While I was able to place some dogs - Facebook was more efficient and effective.

Thank you for using Puppies.com.
The site sometimes loses its place after a refresh. And if this is wrong then the site is confusing to understand after a refresh. As well, the search parameters created by the user should retain all parameters automatically between visits. If the user wants to save a search fine and this should be added to other saved searches, in which case the last search should still be available in full upon the next visit by the user. Btw, the placements of the adverts should be moved. They are obnoxious, ether est up my time and I go out of my way to avoid reading them and instead, look diligently for the "skip" tag. Also the ages displayed by the pups: are they updated as time passes and the pups are still being offered?
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your comments and they will be taken into consideration for future site improvements.
The ages on the dogs are do update automatically according to the birthdate the seller entered.
If you have any additional questions please contact us at support@puppies.com.
Thank you for using Puppies.com!
The customer service is not helpful and the photo part of the app can be a little difficult.
A puppy was accidentally marked sold and there was no way to change it back. I had just paid money to boost the ad, and all I could do was to create another ad all over again. It is very easy to accidentally mark an ad, but you can't easily change it back without contacting customer service. When I contacted them, they were not helpful.
The app also is very screwy when you try to move pictures of the pups around. It takes forever to get them in the order you want and constantly jumps back and forth.
Hello,
It's frustrating to hear about your experience with customer service and functionality. Issues with marking an ad as sold accidentally and difficulties in managing photos can indeed be frustrating.
While your initial experience with customer service may not have been positive, consider reaching out again. They should be able to reinstate a sold listing for you. Clearly explain the situation, emphasizing the impact it had on your experience.
We appreciate your feedback and it will be taken into consideration for future site improvements.

I also was hacked, I am a certified canine behavior consultant and very reputable breeder, they also hacked my dogsnow account. They hacked the dogs now one twice... No way they got in through my email it must have been by other means, guess password maybe... I only found out by a customer inquiring to me about yorkies. Lol I breed Doodles and Goldens.
Hello,
That is terrible that they got into all of your accounts. Scammers are not fun.
PuppyFind.com would never ask you to verify any of your account information including email address or password. That information does not need to be updated for any reason unless you choose to do that on your own. Our Customer Support Representatives do not have access to your passwords. The only person that would have access to that private information is you, the account holder.
Hopefully you have all your accounts resolved and changed all your passwords.

Found the puppy via title, contacted the breeder, firmed up the purchase with a paypal deposit, visited the breeder (1000 miles away) who delivered the puppy at the hotel, paid the breeder the balance via paypal, drove home. Beautiful puppy, GREAT experience.
I had a great experience with the breeder I chose and puppies.com made it easy to communicate with her.
Was able to find our next puppy
Great seller
Breeder and happy with it all
Like search breed location
So easy and great find next or first puppy
I found the puppy here and communicated with the owners, got plenty of info from them and pictures and videos and felt it was real. I sent them a deposit. And asked to speak with them on the phone before traveling to pick up pup, they called we spoke and it all went well. They were nice dog loving breeders I could tell. Then I took the money with me for the pick up, all went great.
This was such a great process and very easy to navigate and the breeders were amazing they really made me feel comfortable and I am so excited thank you everybody so much
Your site is user friendly even for people just browsing and not invested in an active account which is great and exactly how I found my new puppy! My dog breeder was professional, easy to work with, and offered advice and still reached out even a week after purchase. Great experience for our family overall!
We had been looking for a puppy or young dog. We tried some of the larger sites for rescue dogs but they were impossible and horribly run. You had to fill out a long very personal application for every dog you were interested in before any questions were answered or anything moved forward. Then when you will out he application you find out the dog had been adopted days before. They just leave the picture up to get more people to fill out applications and get your personal information. I found a puppy I like on puppies.com, went to see her that same day and left with her the same day. Ao simple and no stress.
This website is exactly what we were looking for and it was very helpful to see all the available puppies around our area. Allowing the visibility and the option to message people about the puppy in question was a very nice touch. Perfect site for puppy searching.
Beautiful healthy puppy! Perry was so nice and professional!' Would definitely recommend getting a puppy from him! Very glad I found him on puppies.com!

Hello,
It's unfortunate that you did not have a good experience with this buyer. I'm showing that testimonial posted in 2022 is half way down the page, and there are seven testimonials before that one. The most recent testimonial shows at the top on your profile from 2024. The buyer did provide proof that they paid you a deposit, so they do get to post their experience. You are welcome to update your response and it will show with the testimonial so both sides of the situation are visible.
I'm sorry you aren't having as much traffic to your listings recently. We do randomly rotate all listings on the site now, but we do have the boost option for city/state searches which could help with views.
We appreciate your loyalty and the feedback and it will be taken into consideration for future site improvements. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
