How to Remove Pets From Petfinder

Petfinder is a tool for animal shelters and rescue houses, as well as future pet owners. If you are a shelter or similar organization, and you have found a home for one of the pets you had listed on Petfinder, you'll need to remove the pet's listing to prevent others from inquiring about the animal. Removing a pet is instant and permanent. If you accidentally delete a pet, you'll have to start over from scratch to add the pet to Petfinder.
