I visited this adoption center today with the genuine intention of adopting a kitten. I was…read moreinitially greeted by two respectful and helpful ladies, who directed me toward the area where the kittens were located. Since I am 19 and was informed that I needed to be 21+ to adopt, I planned to have my mother on FaceTime while I looked at the kittens and considered my options. Unfortunately, the experience changed once we were introduced to another staff member. Her attitude toward both me and my sister came across as extremely passive-aggressive and unwelcoming. We clearly explained that we were interested in adopting a single kitten, but she repeatedly insisted that the kittens could not be adopted individually because they had formed bonds with other cats. While I understand that some kittens may benefit from being adopted in pairs, I had done research beforehand and felt that the situation was presented to us as an absolute rule rather than being explained on a case-by-case basis. We were then directed toward a room with older cats that were described as being newer to the center. There was also confusion regarding one of the cats' names, which further contributed to the experience feeling unprofessional and disorganized. When we asked to see the kittens we had originally come to meet, we felt as though there was very little effort made to accommodate that request. Instead, the staff member seemed frustrated about having to go "back and forth" and ultimately escorted us out of the building. I completely understand that adoption centers have policies and that staff members have to make decisions based on the animals' well-being. However, there is a significant difference between enforcing a policy and making potential adopters feel unwelcome or dismissed. We came in with good intentions and a genuine interest in providing a kitten with a loving home, so I was disappointed by the way the situation was handled. The first two ladies we interacted with were kind and respectful, but unfortunately, the interaction with the other staff member overshadowed the rest of the experience. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, because prospective adopters should feel informed, respected, and welcomed when visiting an adoption center.

I've had the…read moreprivilege of fostering several wonderful dogs through this amazing organization, and every experience has shown me just how dedicated they are to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding loving homes for pets in need. The volunteers are compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They genuinely care about every animal's well-being and work tirelessly to ensure each pet is matched with the right family. My journey with Good Karma became even more special two of my fosters turned into furever pets, my crazy dog, Whitney and affectionate cat, Sylvester. They have brought so much love, joy, and laughter into my home, and I will always be grateful to Good Karma for bringing us together. If you're looking to adopt, foster, volunteer, or support a rescue that truly makes a difference, I wholeheartedly recommend Good Karma Pet Rescue. Their commitment to giving animals a second chance is inspiring, and I'm proud to be a small part of their mission.

There are many other adoption organizations out there, and it's truly unfortunate to treat prospective adopters with such disrespect. A red flag appeared immediately -- after collecting all of my personal information and ID, the only response was an anonymous reply with no name or contact number. That kind of interaction is unacceptable and does a disservice to the animals in your care.

!!! 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?!?**

Liz was responsive via both email and phone, and was easy to communicate with. She confirmed when the trapping was successful and even sent pictures to show that the cat was safe and taken care of. I really appreciate her continued communication, especially since I don't even live in Florida and wouldn't otherwise have a way to check in on this. I believe she is running this on her own so if there is any delay in response, have some patience. Working in non-profit animal rescue is no simple task. Liz clearly has a love for cats and wants to help as many as she can.

It's hard to rate anything as less than 5-star when you take a new loved one home…read more The Covid design needs help ... you choose pups from paper color pics in binder and they limit how many you can see per visit. Luckily we found our pup on our second choice. The cost is a mandatory 500 dollar donation that is non-refundable under any reason, including an ill or generic issue. That's high overall but not ridiculous like the pricing at places like Petsland. Puppies have all vaccines to date and ours was spaded also. You go home with a leach, bag of food, and a free puppy pack at a local groomer. (Very nice package, make sure to purchase some items there also to keep small businesses open). You will need to get some toys, bowls, and crate quickly. We already had most items and kids were excited to stop for others. We also got poopie bags, shampoo and collar. Remember flea protection and heat worm medicine too. Our puppy has adapted quickly to our home and loves her daily walks. They offer a vet at same Location and we may choose to go elsewhere as their Covid design is almost unfunctional with owners and many animals waiting outside.

I was told this Thursday at 10:30 and immediately told my boss I had to take the next day off. I left Jacksonville, FL at 3:30 am to drive to the animal shelter 5 hours away and be there as soon as they opened at 9. Upon arriving I was told that our application had actually been denied, and they were slowing the adoption process for these dogs down. I never once received an email, phone call, text, carrier pigeon or even smoke signals saying that things had changed and we wouldn't be able to adopt a dog today. When asked why this information had not been relayed to me I was told they had received 20 applications yesterday and had to reassess all the applications. If you are looking to adopt a dog from this place I wouldn't hold your breath. They will throw you and your application to the wind at a moments notice and not tell you until you get there. They care more about their publicity and social media presence then they do about actually getting these animals into good homes.

It's no secret the animal rescues in South Florida are overwhelmed with homeless and unwanted pets…read morewhich many are unfortunately, euthanized. When wanting to add another fur baby to our family, I started to search rescues for a pup. I found a cute little ball of fluff on Animal Aid's website and arranged a meet and greet and also checked out the other pups there. (They also have cats for fans of felines). The adoption price includes all shots, spay/neuter and a box of flea/tick/heartworm meds. If you already have your four pawed furball, they also provide low-cost spay/neuter services. As a not-for-profit rescue, donations, volunteers, and animal adoptions help save lives of pets that would otherwise face a bleak future, if a future at all. If you are interested in adopting, complete an adoption form online and once approved, either make an appointment to see your next companion. As a heads up, the location is small, so an appointment may be your best bet.

Actually Dollar stores are better. This visit... the doctor was a hard no. Walked in, didn't introduce himself, immediately started handling my cat like we weren't even there. No warmth, no basic respect. When I asked questions, his responses were short, snide, and borderline accusatory. Just weird energy overall--like he didn't even want to be there and was lowkey annoyed he had to interact. Zero empathy. Not even the bare minimum "your pet might feel this after treatment" type of heads up. My cat was crying for hours after we got home and I was left guessing if that was normal. That's unacceptable. Honestly, if he could've just pretended to care for 2 minutes, I probably wouldn't even be writing this. Breakdown: 4 stars - pricing (the main reason I make the effort to come here) 2 stars - trying to get an appointment is unnecessarily hard Negative 4 stars - the actual vet experience felt like I stepped into the upside down Yeah... I'm actively looking for a new vet for my fur baby.
