We are a small rescue with a big heart. Our mission is to provide unconditional love and care for…read moreall animals. 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.

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.

This thrift store is relatively small but very organized and packed with all types of treasures. Their prices seemed really fair in my opinion. This thrift store has a lot more antique/vintage items compared to others in the area. They keep those items towards the front. There is also a section for men's, women and kids, toys, dishes, books and more. I liked how organized it felt. Overall it's a great little thrift store with great prices and I will certainly check it out again.

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.

I first visited Seminole County Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary in August when the tortoise hatchlings…read morewere ready for adoption. I went with my friend so her daughter could pick out two of them. 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!!

They take your money but don't actually care for your pet. Instead they will drop it off at a kill…read moreshelter (the exact thing they were supposed to avoid). Con artists. Disabled their whole page and social media due to being caught. Do not use. Bailey and Reagan are not good people or the animal lovers they pretend to be. *Update- nice of them to reply. However the business was only in business for one month and they are already being criminally investigated and potentially sued. If you are a pet rescue you are supposed to take in animals whose owners passed but did not want the animal put down. That is the definition of a rescue and not people giving up on animals. Instead you took the dog of a man who passed and surrendered him to a kill shelter while taking money from the estate for food and expenses for the dog. Based on your reply I can see why the business only lasted a month (even though you portrayed that you were doing this a long time and were reputable). I guess the imbecile thing was people not doing enough research to know this was not the case. I am glad you will no longer be in the position to take advantage of vulnerable people trying to figure out what to do with a loved ones animal during their worst time. Considering in this case the family drove to the kill shelter to recuse the dog just shows how involved they were and what a con artist you are. *

That's all it is!! I had my dogs in my care for 8 years! The only reason I reached out because I wanted to find somewhere they could be in good hands because I couldn't have them anymore I was moving to another state and was a single mother.. I tried to check in about my dogs damn near every week. I got all the information, and there is more information that is coming in. I have pictures of my dogs the day I gave them to them. And pics of when they went into the shelter. They were covered in feces and urine. My one dog who they had to put down couldn't even hold in his own poop, and he couldn't walk.. in the matter of A MONTH!!!!!!! Not once did they call me text me. Instead they lied to me They blocked my number. But I made sure I told Bailey I will be coming for him and Reagan. And I will not sleep until they are punished. I have no idea what my dog went through. And I know it was not good. I saw the pics before he was put down and he looked terrible both of my babies under weight.. I didn't even get to say good bye to my baby. May his soul rest in peace. But I will make this Big thing and I will not stop!!!
