    Pet Welfare is a no kill dog and cat rescue on Eglin AFB. They are a fully volunteer and donation…read morebased organization. Animals often come from military families that are no longer able to care for their animals or from surrounding areas. All pets are fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. I know some people have concerns about shelters, some say they are not honest. Pet Welfare is straight forward about all the pets they have. All cats and dogs have been to the vet, as frequently as needed for treatments, routine evaluations or acute concerns. They will not adopt out a pet with a known problem without disclosing it. They are an honest and loving group of volunteers that truly only want the best for the beloved animals. I can speak both as an adoptive doggie momma from this rescue and a dog volunteer, the volunteers truly love and care for these animals. They dogs are maintained in clean kennels and exercised regularly. We adopted our girl when she was brought to the shelter after being abandoned in a box with the rest of her litter mates as small puppies. My girl was so loved before we were lucky enough to bring her into our home. I am a big advocate for pet adoption. Shelter dogs have so much love to give. And the dogs at Pet Welfare are overflowing with love and potential. If you are toying with the idea of adoption you definitely need to check out the animals at Pet Welfare.

    I went here today to just looking cause I heard of this shelter and soon when I move I will be…read moregetting a dog, the people here are so friendly and informative honestly they are pet lovers! They will help you find the pet for you, you can just tell them what you want and by the way they have cats and dogs! Many adorable cats and with all kinds of personalities just like the dogs. The dogs were all ages and most really friendly and playful, the conditions aren't bad but of course I felt bad for them and wish I could take them all cause they need a home. They help you pick a good fit and have some one who will help see if the dog gets alone with any other pets and kids, also there's a little park you can play with them and see how friendly they are with you. I also looked at the cats for a while and they have a few babies, young and older ones. The people were so sweet and every one is volunteering! And better it's a no kill shelter!!! They really seem like they care and they will tell you everything they know about the dog and medical stuff so this is where I will be adopting from, I'm not sure which dog yet but I'm hoping when I play with some that I'll know, they also have all kinds of dogs big and small, they all need a home and it's 100$ to adopt I believe which Isn't bad and it's going to keeping up with a good place.

    This was our first time checking out the animals here. We…read morewent into the cat room first and checked out what they had available. I have to say I found one kitten I fell in love with!! My Mom wanted to get a black and white long hair but they didn't have any. This one was by itself and was friendly as soon as I opened the cage. What a cute face!!!! We checked out another cat room they have as well as what dogs they have available. No puppies or small dogs. Mostly med or larger dogs. They all seem well cared for. My Mom decided on the baby girl I found. (I would have taken her in a heartbeat!) The employees who worked there were nice. Wednesday they have Free dog adoption day and Fridays are for free cats. We will have to stop again to check what they have. They said small dogs go fast as well as the kittens. I am sure this beautiful baby would have been gone long before Friday, she had just become adoptable that day. Lucky we got her!! If you're looking for a pet, stop here! We will definitely stop back. My Mom is very happy with her.

    Disappointing Experience at Escambia County Animal Shelter…read more I recently went to the Escambia County Animal Shelter after seeing a bulldog that I really, really wanted to adopt. When I first asked about the dog, I was told that it was under medical evaluation and would need to be spayed/neutered before adoption. I understood that and was willing to wait. I was then told that the dog had a hold on it because another shelter was coming to pick it up. I contacted the shelter because I was confused about how that worked, especially after understanding that adoptions were supposed to be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead of simply explaining the situation, I felt like I was treated as though I was trying to take advantage of the situation. I explained that I was simply trying to adopt a dog I had fallen in love with. I even offered to pay for the spay/neuter and offered to pay double the normal adoption fee because I genuinely wanted to give this dog a home. I was told that someone would call me back, but nobody ever did. The dog was ultimately transferred to another organization, which I later learned was a bulldog rescue. I completely understand that shelters have policies and that the welfare of the animals has to come first. What upset me was the way the situation was handled and how I felt I was treated when I was simply trying to adopt an animal. As a publicly funded county shelter, I expected more transparency, communication, and courtesy. I ultimately gave up on trying to adopt the dog, and I sincerely wish the bulldog the very best and hope it gets a wonderful home. My frustration is not with the dog or the rescue--it is with how this situation was handled and the way I was treated when I was genuinely trying to provide a home for an animal I cared about.
