    Riley ... he didn't want to feel left out!
    Colleen S.

    I've three K-9 members of my family. Two have come from Lee County Animal Services. A black lab we named Jack and the most recent addition we've named Dakota. Riley is from a breeder in Connecticut. After our first experience with Lee County Animal Services I made the decision to return here anytime we were looking to add to the family. This place is clean. The animals are treated well. There is a screening process to adopt and I like that fact. They may contact your vet, etc., You can adopt the same day if all requirements are met. You can cuddle with your prospective family member in areas set up just for that purpose. You may also walk your dog outside and get to know him or her outside the cage area. They have screened these pets as much as possible and can tell you if they may be good with other animals etc., As for the staff there are both paid and volunteers. On my recent visit they went out of their way to give me the history of our recent addition. This was a surrendered dog. An 8 year old white shepherd who is an absolute doll. Fitting well into her new home. There is a fee but it's helping them keep this shelter running. Please visit it just might change your mind about adoption.

    They have been incredibly helpful over the 20 years I've been going there. I have adopted several dogs, and taken strays in.

    Impressively clean and quiet. A variety of dogs too. Great job for a county shelter

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience purchasing a French Bulldog from Petland Fort Myers…read more When I bought my puppy, I trusted that a store selling such expensive dogs would stand behind the health guarantees they advertise. At around one year old, my dog developed a serious eye condition and was diagnosed by a veterinary ophthalmologist with a cataract caused by a genetic issue and associated inflammation. This is not a minor problem -- it is a painful condition that can lead to permanent blindness and requires specialized treatment and potentially surgery costing thousands of dollars. I contacted Petland expecting them to honor their health guarantee for congenital or hereditary conditions. Instead, they dismissed the diagnosis and refused to provide meaningful assistance. Despite documentation from a specialist, the store would not take responsibility and repeatedly avoided helping resolve the situation. Buying a puppy should not turn into a financial and emotional burden due to genetic disease, especially when the business promotes screened and healthy animals. I feel completely misled and unsupported after the sale. If you are considering purchasing a dog here, be aware that once you leave the store, you may be on your own if a hereditary medical problem appears. I would strongly encourage potential buyers to carefully review the guarantees and understand that they may not be honored when it matters most.

    They have cute puppies that you can play with. The staff is friendly and I had a great experience.read more

    First off, SUPER price gouging at this location! In hillsborough county it's only $60! Here it's…read more$100!!! You make an appointment to see your dog waiting in a cage anyway.. then what's the point of an appointment when WE have to wait. 2 1/2 hours!! Told them NOT to clean my dog's face because of medication along with their ears, and they did anyway. Same with my second dog. They are both highly allergic to whatever they do or did there, and I see another vet bill coming up because they didn't follow directions. I'm so upset and pissed!!! Got there at 11am on time, they didn't get to my dog for over an hour! Then made me late to pick them up also. Blaming it on the dog for being uncooperative. The reason why he was, was because he wasn't comfortable with the way he was being. Management needs to Fire Chris and the nasty girls being mean to the other dogs that I saw through the glass! Do not go to the 41 location by Target. TERRIBLE! I NOW go to the Forum location. Although far from where I live it's better!!!

    I never leave reviews but I'm still so shocked at my dogs groom that she received yesterday. I have…read morea medium size goldendoodle. She was there for almost 4 hours.. her grooming has never taken longer than 2 hours. When I came to pick her up, they would not let me see her until after I paid & tipped, which I thought was very weird as I've been to petco grooming several times and they always let me see her first. My dog has red spots all over her from the clippers, and she has been nonstop licking her private areas as they were shaved raw. :( she also was still half wet when I picked her up, and they had her sitting wet in a crate. I'm not sure what took 4 hours since she was still partly wet. The rest of the groom looks absolutely awful too... it looks like the groomer quickly went over her tangled spots without even attempting to make it evened out or anything. I'm super shocked that the groomer thought it was acceptable. The only parts that were touched with clippers are so irritated and raw. It doesn't just look bad but she has been scratching and licking since yesterday. Also this groom is priced at $85.. leaving 2 stars instead of 1, because they are refunding me after I called 3 times.

This location closes at 8:00pm, I showed up at 7:50pm and the doors were locked, even though there were still several customers inside (Fire Hazard?) Charlie saw me through the glass and ignored in hopes that I would walk away even though they were still open for another 10 minutes. I did not leave. I was there only to pick up dog food which my little girl desperately needed. Charlie after 20-30 seconds eventually came around and unlocked the front door. I said, I'm sorry I'm here quickly for dog food. Charlie said, "Yeah we're closing", hoping that I would not come in. I ran to the back, past several other customers, and grabbed the dog food bag and came to the front registers, beating Charlie to checkout. When I went to leave, the doors were of course locked again with me and several other customers inside and a reluctant Charlie had to come open the door for me. I try not to be the person who walks in with minutes to spare, but I also expect to feel welcome when I go to a store and spend $70.

The state in which the reptiles, birds and rodents are kept is abhorrent, don't give this wretched company any of your money or time.
