    The farm idea is so nice that you take in animals that people don't want anymore. The animals are…read morealso very sweet and friendly, ferrets are usually not so kind but these ones are so sweet. The baby bunnies are my favorite, and the ferrets, and the GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) are silly, sweet, and very friendly. Everything is set at a great fair price, not too expensive. The service requested was great and friendly. It was great visiting the rescue farm and spending time with the animals it was great getting to interact with them and learn about them.

    Well, I must have come on a bad day. Maybe the animals were tired. Maybe the staff were tired. I…read moredon't know. All I know is I felt like I was at my cousin's house and they happened to have animals. There were no directions or explanations...until it came time to pay. Now that part was explained perfectly. Honestly, I probably could have seen the same thing at my local shelter and saved $30. I'm hoping the money goes toward helping the animals, but it's really hard to tell. They have goats, plenty of birds, llamas, pigs, and horses. I wouldn't call it a true petting zoo because most of the petting is done through a gate. If you want a horse ride, you have to ask. No one offers or tells you about it. Everything looked like it could use some updating or repairs, and the overall vibe from most of the staff was, "Please hurry up so we can get back to what we were doing." A couple of employees were pleasant and helpful, but they weren't going above and beyond. They simply gave us what we asked for. Overall, I probably won't be back. At least my $30 went toward helping the animals...I hope.

    Just adopted a sweet Yorkie only to find out that she had a medical issue. Upon contacting Wendy…read morethe rescue's manager I was quickly assured that the issue would be quickly resolved and it was. I highly recommend this no kill shelter for adoption, fostering or sending them a donation that will make you sleep even better at night.

    !!! URGENT - PSA - what's going on here (witnessed today 7/27/2025) ANIMAL NEGLECT !!!…read more I always strive to write positive reviews whenever possible, especially for non-profits & organizations that aim to help animals.. However, I visited this "rescue" today with my children, and I was absolutely appalled at what we saw! Wish I could give zero stars. Where do I begin.... For one- as soon as we stepped foot inside, we had to literally hold our breaths from the stench. The place is filthy-there is urine and fecal matter everywhere. And it only got worse as we walked around.. It's so overcrowded with way too many cats sharing small spaces. There is an obvious lack of necessary supplies like water and food -the cats are so skinny and clearly malnourished. The dogs don't appear healthy either and there are at least two sharing each cage, surrounded by urine and feces also. We felt so sorry for these poor animals and our hearts were breaking! :( One woman working there came to greet us. The other few staff/volunteers were either sitting down looking at their phones or in the back not helping. I wish these animals could all find loving homes, of course, but until then, it is the job of the shelter to properly care for them. The "United For Animals Rescue" is understaffed, under-equipped, and clearly do NOT genuinely care about the health and well-being of these needy animals! It's so very sad. I should have taken pictures, but the odor was so unbearable that we just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. All the positive reviews are from years ago. We have visited there in the past, and I remember it used to be great. I don't know why or how it got so bad there, but something needs to be done IMMEDIATELY PLEASE to prevent these and any more helpless animals from suffering any longer!!! **HOW DO I FILE A REPORT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!?**

    Goodwill was founded in 1902 by Boston Minister, Reverend Edgar J. Helms. He took donations from…read morewealthy Bostonians and hired people who were poor and who could fix the items. The items were then given to the people who worked on them or were resold. Goodwill's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out." Goodwill Industries of Central Florida started in 1959. Today Goodwill has become a $5 billion nonprofit organization that provides job training, employment, and community programs for people who have disabilities that might prevent them from getting a job on their own. This Goodwill Superstore is located on Oakland Park Boulevard. While still selling bargain thrift, the superstores have innovative and trendy displays. They also have more contemporary designs and modern display fixtures designed to raise the bar in the thrift market. The Oakland Park Goodwill store is attractively arranged. Clothes and new items are in the front of the store. As you move towards the back of the store there is furniture and home goods. A smaller area in the back is a bibliophiles paradise with a large selection of books. Thrifting is enjoying a resurgence as a cool hobby. There are a ton of Instagram videos showing how you can have a business thrifting or how to style and transform thrifted items. A can of spray paint can give just about any item new life. I really love thrifting at this large, clean, and well organized Goodwill. I have been coming here for years and it keeps getting better and better. Goodwill has even added new items to complete their thrift inventory. Right now they have a ton of holiday decor and clothing. If you need an inexpensive ugly sweater for a holiday party, there is a great selection here. Not only can you find a unique bargain but you are repurposing items and keeping them out of the landfill while helping the community through your purchase at the same time.

The parking lot had recently been redone, but when I tried to leave, my bumper was ripped off due to an elevated yellow bumper with exposed metal bars. I spoke with the manager, Doris Lopenza, and the police filed a report (#12-2607-XXXX). Ms. Lopenza assured me that someone from headquarters would contact me to address the issue and determine how they would help repair my bumper. The light on the passenger side was also ripped off, and the bottom of the bumper is completely detached. Unfortunately, no one has reached out to me, which seems to be a pattern with Goodwill. Mind-blowing!
