Several years back, I found my Roxy at BHS on Cox Rd. She was mostly a Min Pin and we bonded…read morequickly although she was 8 yrs old and left there as she couldn't produce any more pups. They were very transparent as to the health issues of the dogs I met which was very appreciated. So sad but she had a great life with me until cancer over took her even after 2 operations several years later. She and I visited the facility each Christmas Season to donate Lots of beds or treats for the dogs and cats. I tooks her their to their Chapel when I had to say goodbye and everyone was so kind and gentle with her. The people there are just great and I would recommend them to anyone.

Let me start off by saying that I had made monetary donations as well as food and blankets for…read moreanimals in the past, but alas, no more. Unfortunately, I had a elderly friend who was in her 90s and had wound up with a feral cat colony that she was trying to feed and take care of on a fixed income. People were dumping cats at her home and she would take them get them fixed and feed them. something happened to one of the cats which was very friendly. He loved to be petted and had an issue with its back and it could hardly walk. I called them and asked them if I could bring the cat in and they could do an x-ray and see what was wrong with the cat because the cat was obviously in incredible pain and falling down. I explained my 90 year old friend was on a fixed income as was I and the cat needed help. They told me I could bring the cat into their clinic but an office visit , X-ray, and rabies shot would be a minimum of $250.00 or more . I explained again it was a cat from a colony and no one owned it. And I couldn't afford it. I asked if I could surrender the cat to get it help and was told they didn't take feral cats! Well there was a rescue in Suntree that took the poor cat and said its spine was broken in 4 places and he was in severe pain and didn't charge me. The animals welfare was the most important thing to the rescue in Suntree. I thought the humane society was supposed to rescue and help sick and injured animals? This one refused to help. I learned my lesson not to donate to them. What a farce.

We got our sweet girl Winnie from them 4 years ago and I have been waiting to share our…read moreheartbreaking story. Winnie had issues since the day we got her. She was advertised as a "yellow lab and golden retriever mix", but a DNA test told us later that she was more pitbull than anything else. She was sweet and wanted love, but immediately we noticed she was anxious, rough, and neurotic. Despite keeping her on a strict schedule with regular exercise, training, and routines, she was always "wound up" and could not relax. She would pace back and forth, whine and pant, tremble, refuse food, vomit randomly, and soil her bed constantly (despite being well house trained). She was aggressive to our cats and never let them come out of the bedroom. We got a second dog (from a different rescue) who she loved at first, but some time after getting him she began to attack him randomly with no warning. My husband and I were both injured trying to break her off of him. We paid for in-home behavioral trainers to work with her. We got her on psychiatric medications (including trazodone, Prozac, and others). We eventually had to crate-and-rotate the dogs and muzzle train Winnie. It was a miserable existence for everyone. Our vet did multiple evaluations and always determined she was physically healthy. We reached out to Anna with Save a Life multiple times throughout this experience and she was always dismissive and brushed us off. They posted Winnie as a re-home, but of course we never heard anything. We did everything we could to try to find her a pet-free and kid-free home, which we thought could help her. We contacted countless rescues, organizations, and rehoming websites. No rescue would take her. She had 2 potential adopters that we found on websites, but both backed out. Eventually she tried to attack my brother (who she knew and loved since the day we got her) and given that this was her first attempt at attacking a human, we made the devastating decision to choose behavioral euthanasia. We had a wonderful vet who advised us she likely had severe mental and/or neurological disorders and would likely never be able to be a happy dog regardless of her environment. She told us euthanasia was the compassionate choice to make. The process was heartbreaking. After she was gone, my husband who had always felt a special connection with her, cried for months and still cries if we talk about her. We loved her SO much and tried everything we could to try to help her. It was a torturous 4 years with a devastating end that has scarred us deeply. We spent thousands of dollars on training, meds, vets, and equipment, and SO much of our time, love, and care on her. I know we did the right thing, but it was a terrible experience to live through. Please do not adoption from this "rescue". There are so many red flags. My guess is that they likely go around to local shelters and take all the cute puppies they think they can sell easily. Then they have these mass "adoption events" where they pressure people to choose dogs quickly without being able to spend time with them or meet them ahead of time. This way, any illnesses or behavioral issues are not noticed and they walk away with quick, easy cash. Anyone who knows anything about dogs should have seen Winnie's severe behavioral issues before we adopted her. This organization is negligent at best, and at worst shows a complete disregard for the safety of the families they adopt out to and for the dogs themselves. Rest in peace to our sweet Winnie. We will never forget you.

They threw in once we paid $7,000 that she had a "minor" surgery on her lower stomach (inguinal hernia repair) and that it was common. This information wasn't disclosed to us prior to our interest in taking her home. None the less, we took her home with us (back to upstate NY) where she developed more issues her first few days home. She had a upper respiratory infection, and her sutures were probing inside her stomach.. causing to open up and bleed. These were never removed and/or were we given after care instructions. Luckily we have an amazing vet here who helped us with everything. She had 1 visit to the after hours urgent care.. along with various other nights we considered taking her. She has been in and out of the vet. THEN, ever since she had been home she had coughing, sneezing, kennel cough, loose stools, as well as a UTI.. which as of yesterday.. we were told lab results showed a bacterial infection.. that we've tried to treat but the antibiotic did not fight it. As vet bills have added up every week, as dog owners know can be extremely expensive.. we will do what we can to make sure she is back to normal health.. which she may have never been coming from that place. Our vet is now reaching out to Cornell Medical for further advice. We have had nothing but problems with our poor puppy and pray for good health but would NOT recommend purchasing a puppy from this business. ANYONE who is willing or able to forward this to anyone with authority that can close this place down and put an end to how they treat and handle these poor puppies I highly encourage you do.

This place is absolutely beautiful. When we first arrived, we were greeted by Ellen and her super friendly pup, and they showed us around. We got to go into the aviary, where I fell in love with a darling cockatiel. First off, the aviary is stunning. Ellen and Darien take in rescued birds, rehabilitate them, and re-home the ones that they can. They go to great measures to ensure that the right person adopts the right bird, and they provide wonderful resources and hands-on training. The birds are extremely well taken care of and cared for by Ellen and her staff. As someone who believes in animal advocacy, this means a lot to me. I am now finishing the process of adopting that sweet little cockatiel (she comes home tomorrow), and I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for Ellen, Darien and all the amazing work they do for the animals at the Rescue & Sanctuary. I highly recommend with a full and happy heart!!

We recently purchased a 4 year old Yorkie for $2500 from Tiny Puppies World off of the site Good…read moreDog. According to that site we were supposed to get a dog that was seen by a vet and approved for sale and had all updated shots. Imagine our disappointment when we arrived home to see her shot records only included shots from when she was 1 months old! No rabies shots ever, which is illegal in FL! I reached out to the owner who also stated she had never given her heart worm medication either! I also sent her a picture of Bellas teeth which were in terrible shape. So basically they just bred her and made money off her and then sold her. The owner did agree to pay me for vaccinations and testing (thank goodness she was negative for heart worms). She did pay some after various excuses but missed (again) a promised payment. Please don't buy a puppy from Tiny Puppies World.

We primarily work with high-kill shelters by pulling dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized. We also work with crisis situations in the community to help citizens keep their beloved pets, should that not be an option, we work to place the animal in a foster home to avoid ending up at a shelter. We provide spay and neuter services and any necessary medical care for all of our animals. Education and awareness of the pet overpopulation crisis is also a primary objective for Rescue 6:20. Working to inform the public of the importance of spaying and neutering their pets, teaching and demonstrating responsible pet ownership and nurturing the humane treatment of all living things is an important focus of our rescue. Our organization relies on folks who generously volunteer their time, homes and hearts in order to help. Through our Foster Care program, animals have a safe, healthy home until loving forever homes can be found for them. The method of our rescue has been lovingly referred to as the Starfish Approach.
