“Great site to find and research available puppies!”

Laura D.
11/2/24

We found the breed we wanted not too far from home. He was available, answered texts and phone calls promptly, is a wonderful family breeder who loves his dogs. Just what we wanted to find. Reviews excellent. We met the puppies and make out choice, then picked up a week later at a half-way point which was great for us and our puppy too.

“Puppyfind.com was so much better!”

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.

After looking at multiple sites and 100's of puppies we found our new family friend here at puppies.com

The people listing on this site are real breeders or family's. They will answer your question, send pictures and videos through the message board that is provided on the site. Other sites we looked at had many fake puppies for sale. We would recommend looking here first.

Reason I chose this business:

Real people list here and the messaging system works well.

Puppies.com was great. As a first time dog owner, I was overwhelmed at first. I knew I loved dogs and wanted a puppy to join our family, I didn't know where to start though, I browsed many websites and shelters. Then finally, I found a pup that for some reason, I fell in love with. I was able to contact the seller with ease and she was so sweet and responsive. Payment was easy and safe, and we love our new puppy, Teddy. Thank you.

Reason I chose this business:

Transparency and ease of use, also, the selection in puppies and sellers was a huge plus.

The site is so helpful to find breeders and available puppies. We have got our last two from puppies.com. My previous breeder retired, so needed to find a new one. The second one, our daughter wanted a different breed. Had no idea where to start, puppies.com mad it so easy.

Reason I chose this business:

My daughter had found a puppy she was interested in. I had never used puppies.com prior and really like what it had to offer.

Maritza responded to my inquiry promptly about the little guy I was interested in - I made arrangements to go see Rambo and I fell in absolute love with him. He is perfect and beautiful. He was well cared for and healthy, He is so full of energy - it was a good experience and worth the drive to see him and adopt him.

Reason I chose this business:

The way the site is set up is easy to navigate to the type of breed and location you are interested in. The pictures were helpful.

I was concerned about using a website, but I'm glad I found puppies.com they had a lot of puppies to choose from and seller info about the pup and being able to talk directly with the breeder was helpful.

Puppies.com was the main website I used to choose my puppy. It was easy to look at a variety of different breeds, get information on each breed, and find puppies available within a certain distance from my house. The website also gives you the ability to sort different criteria for the puppies you find, such as based on newest additions. In the end, I was able to decide on what breed of dog I wanted and find the puppy for me.

I would definitely recommend this website, it's a very precise and clear website with both breeders and buyers alike. The staff team is very responsible with verifying both buyers and breeders I'm very satisfied with the credibility of the website overall

Reason I chose this business:

At first it was because I was looking for a website to list my puppies, afterwards I saw that there were many puppies listed and each person I contacted was legit.

Hadd been looking for months for the right dog. Then I found puppies.com. That's where I found my little Lily. Found on Sun. Picked up on Tues. Could not have been a better experience. Seller was easy to work with and there were no hidden problems. The puppy had been well cared for and in perfect health, you could tell the seller really cared for her dogs. I would not hesitate to buy from her again.

Reason I chose this business:

The selection was great. The site was easy to use. The reviews were positive.

Was easy to use, found my puppy. Can search by breed, distance, gender and age. Only suggestion I have is be able to search by size, I wasn't looking for a particular breed but a small 10-15 lb dog and had to look at all dogs or list a bunch of different breeds

I have used Puppies.com for awhile now, and I never have had any issues. My puppies find their fur-ever homes on this site and I am able to post photos of each pup with a description with ease.

Reason I chose this business:

Puppies.com is one of the most authentic puppy sites on the internet, where people looking for a pup can find good breeders and see pictures of pups from the comfort of their home. It puts buyers and sellers in contact through messages, and they can exchange other information later. It is a legitimate site, unlike others where there are scammers and people who really aren't looking to buy a pup making contact when they really have no interest or desire to actually get a puppy. The site is easy to use and navigate for both the buyers and sellers on the site.

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?

Reason I chose this business:

I’ve used pet finder ( not limited to dogs and too many rescue dogs). Craig’s list ( backyard breeders and trailer trash) and local online ads ( too difficult to find with consistency. Puppies content is stable even is the site is poorly designed. There is not enough real estate for the information displayed.

Great place to find a puppy! The search engine was easy to use and allowed me to search by state. We purchased a 7 week old Pomeranian puppy and are very happy with the experience.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose puppies.com because in the past I’ve purchased puppies at puppyfind.com (they’ve apparently been bought out by puppies.com) and had good experiences.

Everything was easy to use. I found a puppy the same day I started looking and picked her up 2 days after. Everything was easy and I felt safe using it.

Reason I chose this business:

I got scammed on Facebook and I was told it's safer to use this site and it definitely was. I would recommend it to others.
