This dog was abandoned and found in a field with her sister when they were just 10 weeks old and Julie took them into her rescue and sprayed and vaccinated them and found forever homes for them. She is healthy and the best dog that I have ever had. I see Julie out at adoption events from time to time and she has always has amazing dogs and cats and does a great job. I totally recommend her rescue.

We adopted a Gianna last week. She was the missing puzzle piece. The 1st hours my Chihuahua mix…read moreKylo didn't feel quite the same but in less than 24hrs he was smitten. They play so well. I think Gianna thinks she is a puppy. Or maybe it is the other way around. If you are looking to adopt, I highly recommend Royal Rescue. Julie has an amazing network of people who foster. That give homeless Mama's and their babies a chance. Gianna's Mom came in as a feral cat. And due to constant love and touch Gianna's foster Mom, Pam McDonald gave to these Mama and her babies changed the outlook of their lives forever. Gianna is the most loving kitten. When she isn't sleeping side by side with Kylo. She falls asleep on our chest and ends up on our neck. Wrapped around like a scarf. She of course came to us completely litter box trained. I apologize this review is so lengthy, but I have actually shortened it. Thank you again Julie and Pam!!! I know the work you do isn't easy and is very time consuming. But so very admirable. You are all a blessing. Love Always, Elaine Gennuso

I realized that my review of Southeastern Guide Dogs isn't accurate now. Unfortunately even before…read moreCOVID-19 they removed their program that lets the public interact with their puppies. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this. Playing with the puppies and learning about how they could grow up to be service dogs was such a wonderful activity. We did it more than once and just loved it. Probably a couple people didn't act properly and ruined it for the rest of us. In spite of this I still donate money yearly to Southeastern Guide Dogs. They provide incredibly trained dogs to help those with visual impairment, veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, and children with huge challenges for FREE. The dogs that don't pass the program are adopted to loving families. I miss those puppies but I still support them and their mission to help others.

Secondly, I approached SE for a dog as my service dog had passed and was told that I don't qualify in a very rude comment by the staff. I am a Vietnam Veteran, United States Marine with PTSD. I have problems with walking but that would not prevent me from walking with a service dog so trained. I spoke with a physician friend of mine who annually donates a lot of money to the organization. I don't think he will be supporting it this year. Sincerely Gordon Kuhn

To the amazing team at Donte's Den,…read more The team at Donte's Den is thanked for the wonderful care that a our dog, LOLA, received during a recent stay. Leaving a pet behind can be difficult, but the facility provided peace of mind from the moment of drop-off. The environment is described as a "pet's paradise". The grounds include spacious meadows and pine forest trails where dogs play and explore. LOLA appeared to enjoy the outdoor time. Beyond the facilities, the staff makes a difference especially Nick the Manager. The experienced and caring team treated LOLA like family, providing personalized attention, fun activities, and companionship. The 24/7 staff and a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital provided a sense of security if anything happened to our baby. Lola returned home happy, healthy, and relaxed, which is a testament to the care provided and happy to see her Family. Donte's Den is described as "The Best Place to be a Dog". The team is thanked for going above and beyond. The pet owner looks forward to the next "vacation."

My heart is broken! I adopted Levi from Donte's in April 23' with an $800 fee. He had been a part…read moreof a Puppy Mill rescue (so I was told) out of Miami. Levi had several health issues but we loved him all the more. We racked up thousands of dollars in Vet bills with several opinions from different vets ~ as to what was wrong with Levi. He was ultimately diagnosed with Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) is a life-threatening autoimmune disease that occurs when a dog's immune system attacks its own red blood cells. Poor baby was just on and off again with meds, pills, potions and lotions with multiple vet visits etc. At one point, I was told by the Donte's Operations Mgr that they would take over ALL medical care for Levi. The owner, Marsha later called and told me she was not going to do this. Time and space will not permit me to list all the details of this terrible horror story! Long story short, I made a call to a staff member at Donte's who told me to bring him out there and they would examine and treat him. So, I scooped him up and headed out there. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, crying uncontrollably and took him out there in August. Unbeknown to me, in my total distress, weeping uncontrollably with Levi sick in my arms, I was given a piece of paper to sign that said I was "surrendering" Levi to them and could never have him back again. I had no idea that is what they had me sign. I called him every day to check on him and texted as well. I sent him all of the Vet medical records. He kept promising me that I could get Levi back but that he needed "a little more time with him to make sure he was well". I was given dates but that date never came. I have pages of text messages/emails going back and forth with them. I called there to see if I could pick Levi up and and was told that he did not work there anymore! I was in SHOCK ! I then called the owner immediately, Marcia and was told that my baby Levi had been adopted by someone. She wanted to know if "she could get us another Yorkie". Our family is devastated! I have never experienced such dishonesty and deception. They have NO COMPASSION. Our baby is GONE and we will never see him again. TODAY she posted a photo on their Facebook page of the new owner holding our baby Yorkie :( I have since found out that they have done this to others as well. They are liars and thieves. We do not know how to handle this at this time. Please do not trust these con artists there.
