We have a medium sulfur-crested cockatoo that we're very attached to. After much thought, we…read morerealized we couldn't give him the level of attention he truly deserves -- and knowing he would likely outlive us, we wanted to find him a wonderful forever home. We visited two sanctuaries that just didn't feel right, but then we discovered the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary in Hudson. He's been there for about two years now, and we know he's very happy. He lives in a large flight cage with other birds and seems to be thriving. We visit him about once a month, and every time we do, we feel completely at ease knowing we made the right decision.

They do not answer basic questions about their procedures and policies. Responses are very short and cold. They are not communicating with anyone on Facebook, via phone, or email. They have been closed to in person visits for two weeks (which was supposed to be one week) due to another outbreak of kennel cough from what they told the public weeks ago. No updates anywhere including Facebook, their website, or via voicemail. They are actively ignoring the community and dozens of people have been waiting for weeks for information. There is a group of concerned animal advocates on Facebook that have been trying to figure out what is going on because now dogs are disappearing from their website and they are refusing to talk to anyone. I have worked in rescue my entire life and I've never seen anything like this. It is truly mind blowing. We hope the dogs are okay, but nobody knows because they won't talk. At this point, I don't know if we would believe what they say anyways. Trust has been broken. This is by far the most bizarre experience I've ever had with a rescue or shelter in all the decades I've been in rescue professionally and in a volunteer capacity. I used to donate to this place yearly and talk them up every chance I got, I won't be doing that anymore. They are doing the opposite of what a professional, compassionate, and legitimate 501c3 non profit does and it is making the community very uncomfortable. Something isn't right and everyone needs to be aware of what is going on.

She gave me a disgusted look when I walked in the door and it was obvious she judged me by my tattoos. They NEVER called my vet or references. The sweet lady in the adoption area was surprised the sweet kitty came out and relaxed in my lap. She stated she was going to let the staff know up front of receptive the kitty was because he is a hider. I own my home, my vet knows me and how well I take care of my fur babies. It is disgusting that personal feelings keep an animal from a good loving home. Luckily, another rescue was more than happy to allow me to adopt, but it is just sad for the animals at Suncoast, SPCA.

Just wanted the adopters of the 2 dogs to be aware and cautious because she did nothing to be attacked by the 2 of them she was cleaning up poop in the yard and supposedly they were barking at noises around the area and turned to my daughter, she had to take a dog cot and use it as a shield to get away from them. Her thigh, her knee, both her arms, her chest were bitten and scratched. It wasn't a one bit and done, it was multiple bites on those areas of her body. The dogs names are Bane and Pit. Bane was recently adopted, hopefully they let you know of this incident as it was reported and documented with animal control, they saw the pictures of her wounds.

I went to drop off a pregnant cat that I found and could not get off the property fast enuf. Dogs were walking in piles and piles of feces and the cat facility wreeked so bad of urine that it made my eyes burn. There was half eaten food on the counter and piles of garbage in every direction. There were bags of feces strewn through out the property. The person I spoke with appeared to be strung out and could not shut up long enough for me to get a word in. I am going to contact the SPCA headquarters at 212-244-7722 and SPCA of Florida Lakeland. Florida. Please please please do not bring animals there. I would not give this place 1 star.
