    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.

    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.

    The only reason this place got three stars for me is because of this one worker specifically she's…read morealways just rude not polite in any way. She's a shorter older woman with short brown hair every single time I happen to need her help. She will literally ignore me. On two separate occasions I've needed crickets. She's walked over in my direction so I waved like a friendly hello and she literally turned around and walked the other way into a back room or something so i sat for another 10 min cause maybe she got called to do something I'm not one to question and after those 10 min I go to the register and ask for help. The lady that saw me and turned around literally came out of the back room she went into it. And not a hello how are you sorry about the wait it was "how many" with the most attitude I've ever heard. Than the second time she was cleaning the tanks right behind where the crickets are at. And I yet again probably stood there for 10-15 min while she's just cleaning these tanks. She made direct eye contact with me maybe 2-3 times. So I finally got annoyed waiting for this girl to have some sort of customer service and ask me if I need help. So I go "excuse me can I please get some help with crickets" and she literally says "well maybe if you let me know that's what you needed than yea I can't know if you don't tell me" and I literally told her "I thought you would've had enough customers service training to see someone standing here for 10 min in the exact same spot to know they need help and you'd come ask" She got off her ladder came over and rudly chuckled under her breath and went "how many" didn't ask if I wanted cardboard or calcium nothing. If I see this lady by the crickets I literally leave cause I refuse to speak to her now. You guys need to teach her some customer service. Or fire her cause clearly she hates her job.

In the small pet section, there was a noticeable odor, but my primary concern was animal care. Multiple small animals appeared severely lethargic and stressed, with some hanging helplessly over their water bottles. I strongly urge management to inspect these habitats and review employee protocols for animal care and customer engagement.

    I am glad I got to give these poor little babies some love but I would never step foot in here…read moreagain. Today we arrived to play with the puppies an hour after the business was said to open. The closed sign on the door said sorry we are closed with the clock pointing to 12 being the time the store would open, we arrived at 1pm with no one to be found. Puppies all unattended with the ones I could see through the window sitting in their own urine and eating their own poop off the ground. We came to gulf coast specifically to spend some time with the puppies so we walked around a while longer than came back around 2pm. Still closed. We the. Walk around yet again and come back at 3:30ish and finally the store is open. We go in and there is only one staff member who did not converse at all other than the initial hello. We start looking at the puppies and immediately notice they are all absolutely covered in urine and poop. None of them had any bed, there was not water in any of the bowls when we initially walked in, the staff member was using a dirty old mop to mop up the urine from all the stalls without any soap and dripping water all over the floors while doing so. Never once did I see her go into any of the stalls to properly clean the messes. Also they had ZERO POTTY PADS, they are simply left to use the bathroom on the floor and then live in the half cleaned up filth. The stench hits you as soon as you walk in and these poor babies all have crunchy and wet fur from living in their own filth. Truly a terrible establishment, I will never be back and shame on the owners for letting these babies live in these conditions. No toys, no bed and no cleanliness. Just heartbreaking.
