I've been on next-door for a few years. I've never been asked to provide contact lists, etc. Next-door is helpful. I once was looking to locate a couple in our neighborhood whose certain breed rescue dog had died. I work with a rescue of that breed and knew of one needing an owner. I put it out on next-door with the only info I had--someone just lost a rescue golden who died and are looking for another rescue golden, and I have one but don't know where the couple lives. In less than a couple of hours, a person who knew the couple contacted them. Now the golden has a new home, and the couple has a rescue golden to love. They actually brought the dog to our house to meet us.
Yes, there are ads on the site, but they are easy to ignore.
