The animals are extremely well taken care of and fully vetted. In the case of kitten or puppies Judy never ever leaves the Mother behind. Heck, she'll take the Father too to be fixed,if he can be located. No animal leaves this No-Kill shelter without being spayed or neutered. read more

I don't often leave reviews like this, but I feel it's important to share what happened in hopes that it prevents another family from going through what mine just did. On September 9th, my family adopted two kittens, Aren and Delle, from this rescue. We were told they had recently recovered from an upper respiratory infection and were now healthy. Unfortunately, less than a month later, our sweet Delle passed away on October 10th from FIP -- a fatal illness that likely developed from an infection that hadn't fully resolved. We followed all the recommended vet care and sought immediate treatment the moment she showed signs of illness, but despite every effort, she declined quickly. It was a deeply traumatic and heartbreaking experience for our family -- and for Aren, her sister, who is now grieving as well. I want to make it clear that I deeply understand and appreciate the mission behind animal rescues and the challenges they face in caring for so many animals in need. My intention in sharing this isn't to criticize, but to hopefully encourage more thorough medical reviews and communication before adoption. Even small improvements in diligence could help prevent another family from being blindsided by such a devastating situation. I emailed the rescue on October 11th, not in anger but simply to inform them of what happened. Unfortunately, I never received a response. Delle was deeply loved and is deeply missed. I truly hope that sharing her story leads to positive changes for future adoptions -- and to more happy, healthy forever homes. read more

Pet Rescue By Judy - Our sweet girl Delle - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

See all

the adoption applications take way to long. The adoption applications take way too long and the overall process feels very slow. I understand the need to be careful when placing animals, but the wait time is excessive and there isn't much communication or updates during the process. The organization seems to care about the animals, which I respect, but the application system could be more efficient and better organized. Improving response times and communication would make the experience much better for potential adopters. read more

A Turnaround Thanks to Judy and Michelle's Compassion and Professionalism After a rocky start with Pet Rescue by Judy, I'm happy to say that our experience took a very positive turn thanks to the direct involvement of Judy herself and her manager, Michelle. Our initial experience was admittedly disappointing and emotionally draining. The communication was slow, and a misunderstanding about a name on public records led to confusion and frustration, especially during an already sensitive and hopeful time as we were trying to adopt a kitten we had connected with. However, everything changed once Judy personally reached out to us. She took the time to listen, clarify the situation, and most importantly--make it right. She was kind, understanding, and sincere in wanting to resolve the issue. She then assigned her manager, Michelle, to step in and ensure everything was handled professionally and respectfully. Michelle was equally wonderful--compassionate, responsive, and proactive. She restored our faith in the process and reminded us why rescues like PRBJ do such important work. We are truly grateful to both Judy and Michelle for going above and beyond. Their dedication and kindness turned our initial disappointment into appreciation. It's clear that they care deeply about both the animals and the people involved in the adoption process. We're glad this ended on a much more positive note and appreciate all the hard work they do every day. -- AJ Alvarez read more

This place is absolutely amazing. They helped us find our forever fur baby. We are so thankful for Carol for going above and beyond taking care of our baby before we got him.

Pet Rescue By Judy - This is our fur baby in his first outing - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I ended up going to the shelter over by the millennium mall and I got my dog there. He's a Putz, but I love him to death and it didn't cost me anything because if you're a veteran you get them for free. When I got him, he was skin and bones. You can see his ribs. You should see him now he has no show of ribs at all. He likes to sleep a lot. read more

We came here to adopt a new puppy after our last pup passed. Judy and here team were very understanding of our situation and quite nice throughout the entire process. We viewed a few pups they had, all of whom seemed well loved and cared for. They truly care about the animals they home. There was a thorough screening process as well to ensure that we as adopters were well fit for their pups. When we came to the facility we were able to meet and play with the dogs. They sent us home with a harness, leash, food, and food bowl for our new baby. It was such great care! read more

Judy and her team continue to run a fabulous organization! We adopted pups in 2009, 2010 and now another just a week ago. PRBJ takes the pet adoption process seriously, and we appreciate this. Our Iceman was very well cared for and loved while at the shelter and foster home. The PRBJ staff were wonderful and helpful, as previously . We were also happy to see Judy again when we finalized his adoption. Bravo to PRBJ! read more

I live in Sanford and thought I would adopt a dog locally and support the community! After a laborious time filling out paperwork, retrieving forms, taking photos and calling my vet, I finally applied for a small female cutie. Unfortunately, I was not able to adopt the dog due to my age. Although they didn't state that it became quite obvious that was the reason. They pushed me on to another dog that was much older. a cutie, but not what I was looking for. The most disheartening fact is that this little cutie is still on numerous adoption sites so she wasn't adopted. The didn't tell the truth and discriminated against myself and my husband. They said there was so much interest on the dog and it was adopted. I fit the profile for this dog quite well. To say the least I am disappointed and would have appreciated the truth. read more

Nice presentation, but totally lied about the dog I adopted being house trained. I tried all the online advise on treats, grass pad, 10-20 trips outside daily, setting spots to use for potty and poopy, Thermon to entice to use grass pad, left enclosed porch open to pee or poop, bell on door. Nothing worked and she still peed anywhere she wanted. I contacted them for help, got threatened with lawyer. No refund and they listed dog as house trained again, so new owners will be misled. They are asking for same $200 fee from new owners. I feel like I was scammed. I have all emails and pictures of her not using grass pee pad. I would not use a rescue again. I would not recommend this one at all. I will file complaints to state and city shortly. read more

If I could give negative stars for this unprofessional establishment, I would. Hurricane Dorian is our (my young daughter and me) first Hurricane by ourselves and after Governor De Santis told Floridians to evacuate yesterday, the plane tickets began flying off of the shelves. So I made plans for our fur baby to stay here with someone safe and then I booked our flights out of town before everything sold out again. However, those plans fell through after our friend decided to also evacuate, leaving me to google, "Hurricane Pet Shelters" for our fur baby and Pet Rescue by Judy popped up at the top of the search. Judy picked up the phone and began to interrogate me in the rudest, most hostile manner imaginable! While asking me a bunch of questions in the first 90 seconds, her worst one was, "Ummmm... and you didn't stop to think about finding shelter for your pet before you decided to go on vacation?" I couldn't believe it. All she had to say was that she was not interested in helping us and/or that it was a mistake that her shelter came up in the Hurricane pet shelter search. I don't don't know what type of establish this is, but I was prepared to pay for boarding. Not anymore and NEVER AGAIN! How can anyone claim to care about animals, yet be so soul-less and cold-blooded? I regretted having her on speaker and my daughter listening to that woman being so nasty. I don't for one second buy it. I would never trust any of my fur babies with this woman. Contact Judy's Pet Rescue at your own risk. Moving on... read more

Is there any rating lower than 1 star? PetRescueByJudy certainly deserves it. They are super racist, unpolite, rude, aggressive, and discriminatory and abusive with elderly and disabled people. They used the disabled parking spots to load and unload their dogs like those spots were created for their personal use. The attached photo is Judy Sarullo, the owner, who is very proud of breaking the law: The PetRescueByJudy vehicles were parked in the disabled spots to unload the dogs when we got there. We were forced to park across the road and walk to the show because they were using both spots in front of the O'Leary's Irish Pub. And we had three disabled humans with us, and permanent disabled car tag, and a Medical Four Wheel Walker Rollator among us. Here's the story: We took our elderly neighbor to see the dogs at this October 2nd Adoption Event and to buy an emotional support animal, but their refuse us their services because our friend is too old. According to PetRescueByJudy, our elderly friend didn't fit the PetRescueByJudy requirement BECAUSE OF HER AGE. And they were worried, and I quote, of she dying before the dog. Isn't that a bit rude? They stated that her apartment building didn't allow dogs over 50 pounds. This was a lie. On top of that, they didn't know where she lived. We had brought our Lease Agreement, but no one was trying to have a conversation. We wondered about their assumption, and the PetRescueByJudy employees decided to turn her back on us and walked away. I sat down outside the pub, and the lady from the photo approached me and started insulting me, and then pushed me. Then a male PetRescueByJudy employee got on my face, insulted me too, and almost hit me. I was afraid that he would jump on me and punch me. They even went the extra mile and told the O'Leary's Irish Pub manager to kick us out of the area. And the O'Leary's Irish Pub went after us. I had asked for the menu and a glass of water, but never received anything. We also informed the manager about our previous conversation with PetRescueByJudy using the disabled parking spaces in front of his business, but he said it was not his responsibility. PetRescueByJudy is a bad place to get dogs. Nevertheless, their dogs are the best humans. read more

Pet Rescue By Judy - I am astounded at the heartlesness of this request. - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

We adopted 2 cats from Pet Rescue by Judy. Our second cat got out the front door one hectic morning (It's tough as a single Mom with young kids getting out the door in the morning!) and we didn't realize it until we got home that evening. It was traumatic and we immediately started asking neighbors, posting fliers, and calling locals vets and shelters. It turns out that our cat made it back to Pet Rescue by Judy. Judy called me the day that we were unaware that Joey (our cat) was missing. She said it was National Cat Day (it was not) and she was checking how Joey was doing. I told her he was doing great completely unaware that he had gotten out of the house. The next day I called Judy again to let her know that Joey was missing and asked if she had him because by this point her phone call the day before seemed very odd. She lied to me about having Joey even after I told her that my two children were crying about him being lost. She then accused me of having Joey treated for a dog bite at a local vet that I never used. Joey was a strictly indoor cat with nothing but routine visits to the vet. I hung up the phone, left work and drove straight to their facility. Our Joey was there and terrified! The ladies had the NERVE to charge me a $60 rehoming fee and not once apologize for the lie. I went to her website that night to write a review and they had posted Joey up for adoption. They were planning to adopt our kitty out when we were begging to have him back. If I could give zero stars I would. Please do not adopt from this rescue facility unless you would like your family members pets stolen (and lied to about it). read more

I went to see if I could adopt a chihuahua. There were two women at the front. After standing in front of them for about 5 minutes, one finally looked up and with a disgusted face asked if she could help. They were not friendly at all. When I said I was interested in adopting a Chi, the young lady said I had to go to their website to see what's available and discouraged me from even looking at the number of dogs just sitting in the lobby. I felt like I was buying from Amazon. I had a similar experience when I went to adopt from the animal shelter in Sanford. I drove to the Miami shelter to see if I could find a small dog there. They didn't have one but they were soooo friendly I would come back in the future and adopt from there. read more

Thank you Judy for my Rosie. 6 months into having her, I don't think I could have found a more perfect dog for me. This organization does so much for animals and I am so grateful you all exist! When we came by, the pet rescue had brought a couple of dogs to a car dealership where she was trying to get more viewership for the animals they were adopting out. When I met my Rosie, she was very quiet and I remember telling Judy that it was great cause she didn't bark at all. Judy looked me straight in the eye and told me this dog definitely barks, sometimes she barks a lot. We adopted Rosie anyways, and she does bark a lot, and we love her so much we don't care. But I will always remember Judy's honesty about that situation. It shows what type of person she is and that she wants the dogs to go to families that will realistically keep them and not just get rid of the dogs. Anyways, thanks again. I hope more people know about the great work you do! read more

Pet Rescue By Judy - Rosie - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Recently, I had the displeasure of communicating with this woman. It was not over any adoption situation, however. my neighbor had alerted her of an abuse scenario, and I had the video. Judy telephoned me to discuss, but she became so impatient and focused on *unimportant* details that she literally started screaming and yelling at me!! I told my neighbor from the start that I did not want to work with this lady!! rather go to the sheriffs department, and animal control services, but my neighbor insisted on her! there are so many horror stories just read the reviews. also, she votes against any programs for trap neuter & return, which is all public record! what kind of rescue would actually vote against a TNR program??? she kept saying how she *watched so many detective movies, and she was trying to be a detective* while getting hung up on the unimportant matters instead of focusing on how to actually help the abused animals... she wasn't being helpful, nor could she actually help. She had a massive, epic MELTDOWN on the phone with me. in reality, Judy is not a detective. I told her to leave that part to the actual law enforcement officers! btw- The situation has been professionally and properly handled!! read more

When I went to Paw park today like I do several times a week, my dog was approached by a guy who came to the dog park without a dog and he tossed a toy to try to get my dogs attention. When I asked him where his dog was , he told me he didn't have a dog and was a volunteer for the park. I told him that was almost the equivalent of going to a kids park and trying to coax a child with a lollipop. I told him to stay away from me and my dogs and he threatened me and said he'd do whatever he wanted and I couldn't do anything about it. When he finally did leave, he went across the street and returned with Judy herself and she attempted to read me the riot act but I shut that down immediately. She then started yelling at me and calling me named and actually made the statement that I was Old and Mean. If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. Then she called the police like I had done something wrong. I've heard about people who have found their missing dogs at her place of business which doesn't make it a rescue, it makes it a fencing ring for pets. There is no doubt in my mind this guy was trying to steal my dog for profit. This woman makes a lot of money off the backs of many animals misfortune. I am going to include a picture of the guy that I think is a thief who steals dogs for Judy to sell at a large profit. read more

Judy is so mean! The owner of this shelter! This is my dog, as soon as he accidentally escaped I Contact her. I showed at least 10 pictures of my dog and few pics of the pics I was in the picture with him. I told his name Abel and his other info. And only cuz I didn't have no chip or shot she didn't give it to me she made me wait saying that she'll give him shots and and that if I wanted him I have to go thru over adoption papers and that maybe I'll give him back. Like who does that??! Then she told me he was fee was $150. And then she's posted on pet rescue by Judy she changed his name to Terry and post him for $250 adoption fee. She had me calling emailing her almost every day about me wanting my baby Back and most time she didn't answer. About 2 weeks ago she told me to Go that week on a Saturday to go with my whole family that lives in my house which my sister couldn't since it was her daughter bday and I told her she had plans so she wrote back well will see how my schedule goes for next week. So last week I emailed her asking her about her schedule so I can see my dog she said "the dog is no longer available" so I wrote her how unprofessional selfish she is, and I did add her curse words because how hurt I am when she knew that was my dog and she didn't care. Please people be careful with this lady name Judy Sarullo on pets rescue by Judy and on paw boots. She is a witch! You'll see if you google pet rescue by Judy if u scroll Down to Yelp you'll See positive review as well As much negative about her. She needs to go down!! read more

they do not return phone calls nor return emails.

I had the pleasure of meeting Judy and seeing her rescue in Sanford yesterday. The adoption process was easy and swift and her incredible employees and volunteers work tirelessly to take care of these animals and find them good homes. We ended up adopting a puppy who was part of a litter rescued, along with their Mom, from a high-kill shelter. We can't wait to give this pup the best life! If you're looking to donate to a good cause, this is the one! Judy is doing amazing work and her care and devotion is without end. read more

We just adopted the happiest cutest little puppy from Pet Rescue by Judy this weekend. Carol was incredibly responsive and friendly, she made it so easy to get through the application process. They ask a lot of great questions and really made sure we understood what we were getting into with a dog and a puppy specifically. And during the adoption, Judy made sure we knew how to care for him and exactly what we need to do in just about every circumstance. You can tell the puppy was cared for before being adopted, and that they aren't just going through the motions. They very much care about the outcome of these dogs they're entrusting to us. Couldn't be happier! Thank you to the whole team at PRbJ! read more

Update: Several months ago we had to say goodbye to our angel Sport. She lived 16 long years and had an amazing life but it was her time to go home. It was so tough on our family but we are so grateful for the long life she had for a dog and the precious time we had with her. And that's all thanks to Judy. Soon after, my boyfriend and I decided we were ready for a puppy of our own and of course we wanted to rescue. Judy was the first organization I thought of. One weekend when my boyfriend was at drill I went to one of their adoption events to see if they had any puppies available. I met 3 adorable little puppies that weren't available for adoption yet because they still needed to be fixed and have their shots. The following weekend we went to another Pet Rescue By Judy adoption event when my boyfriend was back so we could both meet the puppies. We found out the 3 puppies I met the weekend prior were actually a litter of 6. And that's when we met her. The sweet little girl who stole our heart, Gisella. Again, we couldn't take her home because she hadn't been fixed yet. But I checked Judy's website at least once an hour every day that following week until I saw her go up as available and we immediately applied. Given a lot of the reviews I had read here I was a little bit nervous but someone from Judy's quickly responded with a few additional pretty standard questions and we were quickly approved. They scheduled us for an appointment the following Saturday to meet with Judy and bring our baby home. Everything went very smoothly and we gave this sweet little angel a forever home for Christmas. We renamed her Bella because she's so beautiful Several months later we don't know how we ever lived without her. She is such a part of our home. So THANK YOU THANK YOU again to Pet Rescue By Judy!!! You have given our family 2 absolutely amazing family furry family members and we could not be more grateful because these girls have made our homes whole. read more

Do not adopt from Pet Rescue by Judy they are severely rude. I hope they aren't this mean to their animals. I applied to meet a cute little puppy and they called my landlord before even contacting me about the dog. I find that to be a strange method of business. My landlord in my father in law. I told them I didn't appreciate you contacting anyone before contacting me. Making it seem like we're bringing a dog in before we've even seen one. That created concern for my family. I told Pet Rescue by Judy I didn't appreciate this and I only got two RUDE emails back. They are not nice people and I will never give them my business. #petrescuebyjudy read more

Pet Rescue By Judy - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Most of the staff here is great and genuinely try's to help and comfort the animals that come through their door. Unfortunately, Judy is far from being a nice or merely a decent human. I had a stray kitten that I spent all day trying to rescue that was in dire need for help. I called Judy for guidance as to how to care for this kitten and was met with a level of unwarranted rudeness that completely caught me off guard. All I was trying to do was help an animal, something that Judy has branded herself around, and I just felt like I was being scolded and yelled at by an older lady when I had hardly even gotten the first sentence out of my mouth explaining my situation. I can only speak from my own experience, but have heard horror stories from personal friends and people within my network. She's simply just not a nice or kind human. If this is how she treats humans, I can only imagine how she treats the animals that are in her care. read more

OMG! Love this place! Judy and the staff are amazing with the animals! They are always helping out animals in need. They have adoption events, if you're considering adopting a pet please check out one of their events or check out the web page. So many animals need loving forever homes I will always be grateful to Judy and her staff, they stepped up and helped me when I really needed to re home my babies due to having personal health issues that need to be addressed. My heart broken, never imagined I'd have to give up my babies, they needed special care because I adopted them from the South Korean Meat Market where a horrible death was certain and so was further torture had they not been rescued. I too volunteered with rescue dogs and this is how I knew all about Pet Rescue by Judy. I was the only mommy these babies knew and Judy was the only one that I trusted to care for my babies and to re home them. This rescue is very thorough in their adoption process and that is why I reached out to this rescue. They welcome volunteers and if your child needs community hours for school, contact them. Rescue work is hard physically and mentally it takes special people to work in this field. You will never be rich working in rescue, it takes a true passion and love for the animals to work in rescue. Like most Rescues, donations are greatly appreciated and Judy's is worthy of donations if you're considering finding a nonprofit to support. Save a life, adopt don't shop. read more

A friend for life A truly wonderful place but then Judy is a truly wonderful person. This review is as much about Judy as her Pet Rescue place. This isn't just some dumping ground for unfortunate creatures, but a place where the animals are giving medical care, socialization and most of all love. Of course the goal is to find good homes for the critters but Judy doesn't just let anyone take them. A rather intensive adoption application is needed for any potential person who wants one of the animals and a bit higher fee is also charged. But the money goes into medical care for sick and injuries animals and you will be assured of getting a healthy and happy kitty or dog. The cats here have a nice life with lots of things to play on and a constantly flow of people that come in and visit. And of course Judy and her staff spend a whole lot of time spoiling the creatures. A wonderful place to check out a future family member. They always have a fine selection to choose from and Judy is always pleasant and a joy to be around. You just might find a friend for life. read more

If I could give them less than one star I would. Long story short, here is the email I sent them after 1 month of trying to adopt one of their many dogs: "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. We are all very disappointed that you couldn't help us. It seemed like you were all very short with us and didn't really give us a chance to give one of those puppies a nice home. Our neighborhood restrictions are not as strict as you're making them seem and we believe there are puppies there within our restrictions that we could adopt. But 'unfortunately' you are not giving us a fair chance in the adoption process. We can find a puppy to rescue and love elsewhere, and I wish luck to the ones you are denying that love to. read more

We rescued a cat about 3 years ago and Sammie has become a wonderful part of our family! I mentioned that I wanted a Siamese cat awhile back and somebody told me that they had seen one at a Pet Smart one afternoon. I did some inquiry and soon found out that it was Judy and her staff that were at the Pet Smart each Saturday afternoon. I went on line to their web site and soon found Sammie listed with the rest of the cats and dogs. I went over one afternoon and inquired about Sammie and set up a meeting. The staff was great and I soon had adopted Sammie after getting the chance to meet him. It was love at first sight! We are now in the market for a dog since the one we had passed away last year. We plan to check out her web site and make a trip over there very soon to rescue another wonderful animal! I highly recommend checking them out and please give a donation if you can. Every bit helps! read more

We are coming up on the one year mark for having our adopted pup, Ralphie, and we could not imagine life without him. Thanks to the great people at PRBJ that rescued his Mom, who was turned into a kill shelter while very pregnant. PRBJ oversaw the birth of the litter and fostered the puppies until they were all adopted. These pups knew nothing but love from the time that they were born, instead of the sad alternative seen by many dogs and cats. The adoption process started on the PRBJ website, where we filled out an application and fell in love with our pup's picture before meeting him. The foster moms oversaw the last stages of our adoption and helped to screen us, they were very informative and had a wonderful rapport with the pups. I attended several workshops at the PRBJ storefront at the Oviedo Mall, which were helpful for a new puppy owner and gave our 8 week old pup a chance to socialize with dogs of various ages. The storefront also had new toys and various items for sale, at a deep discount. If you are considering adopting an animal, please check out this great organization. I know many friends who have adopted animals from this group and all of us agree, that Judy and her team really have a special touch...and the animals seem to know that. read more

Judy truly cares about the animals and putting them in good homes I highly recommend this business

We heard about Petrescuebyjudy many years ago. We found our fur love from this place. It was our first time getting a dog from her. I recommend anyone looking for a pet to go to this place. The girl at the front desk showed us dogs that we were looking for on their computer. Once Frankie's photo came up, he was the one...he is amazing and we are so blessed to have him in our life. The people that run this place was friendly. Judy handed me Frankie in my arms when we came to pick him up to take home. She takes pets to shows to allow anyone looking for a pet a chance to have hands on connection time with them prior to application because that is the best way to really know if the pet one is seeking for will have a connection with them. I don't know of another place one can have a better chance of connection time other than Judy. Thank you Judy! Sincerely, The Olandt Family read more

Pet Rescue By Judy - Frankie's review about PetRescuebyJudy - Animal Shelters Near Me - Sanford, Florida

PRBJ is truly a blessing. They care about every animal that finds the way to them. My wonderful yellow lab sisters were rescued by Judy's organization nurtured to health and adopted by me 9 years ago. This week I contacted Judy after a sweet lab mix puppy was found at the Dollar Tree in Apopka. It was after hours but Judy took her right in , reassuring the pup that she was safe. And I know she is in the best hands. As a former neighbor of Judy's , I have known her more than 10 years. She is truly an advocate for animals. Rescuing, rehabilitating rehoming and especially trying to educate the public on how to be responsible pet owners. PRBJ is truly making the world a better place, one animal at a time. read more
