I've mostly dealt with the Vet Office aspect of this company (though I did adopt one of my fur babies from them through PetSmart Adoptions) and I have to say that every visit was a positive and insightful one.

SPCA Florida is a wonderful facility with caring staff for pets and people. Sometimes wait times happen even with appointments but you never feel rushed particularly in the exam rooms when they work with the pets. Maybe that explains the delays sometimes. Great place overall.

Sells sickly dogs just to make money. Sold my son and daughter in law a dog they said was only 3, but is obviously at least 8 or older. He had a rotten tooth and bladder problems, and wanted us to pay the money for his procedures.

This animal rescue center is one of the best I have seen. I have been involved in animal welfare for over 30 years. Staff involved with animal rescue usually become burnt out and miserable due to the horrible things they see on a daily basis. Staff here is always happy, kind and helpful. The volunt...

SPCA were they only ones to help my family when my Doggo Princess was ill for over a week. She in the end required a euthanization but thanks to them my pupper of 12 years passed in comfort and dignity. I'll never be able to repay them for what they did for me. Blessings
