From the first time I had gone to the humane society I was treated really well by the staff and volunteers. It was a super easy and fun process to get to meet with the animal(s) you want to visit and possibly adopt. The rates are very affordable and sometimes the rates are waved or lowered to help clear the shelters! So check the website to see if they are lowering the adoption fee before you go in. The amount of choices of animals to choose from is plentiful! I adopted my dog on August 13th 2024 from them and the process was super fast and easy! Before I knew it, I was walking out with my "new" (3 year old) dog Sasha and a big smile! I have had no regrets with my choice of pet or any with the humane society! Excellent service and super nice and friendly staff and volunteers! I DEFINITELY and highly recommend stopping by if you are interested in adopting a new pet whether it's a cat or dog. You won't be disappointed! As a matter of fact I will most likely be going back to adopt another dog soon. Also my sister has adopted a cat from there and the two are inseparable! She too has nothing but good words about them! I hope that this helps you make up your mind and that you find your furever pet(s) from the humane society of Sarasota County!
Staff were always friendly and it’s always neat and clean. Love the little store area where I can grab my new pet’s items or bring something new for a pet already at home. My dog needed a friend so I came here looking for a kitten just for her and found my little Willow (kitten) who fit right into our family! Adoption process was easy and, loved that I had staff there to answer all my questions as I was looking for new family member. Highly recommended.
Great place to get a wonderful pet. Got a kitty here whom I totally adore. They make sure pets have all the vaccinations and necessary medical treatment before they leave the facility. They let you go into a private room with a potential cat to see if you bond with it before you adopt it. You are limited to 3 cats per day to visit with. I'm so happy because my kitty is litter box trained, has a healthy appetite, and is totally affectionate and sweet as can be. He's also bonding well with my other kitty. Bring a cat cage or pay $7 for a cardboard one provided by them.
The area was very clean, and the cages for the animals cleaned. There appeared to be rooms set up for cats to associate with other cats and separate rooms for dogs. A number of dogs for adoption seemed to be larger dogs. It's clear that the management was doing an excellent job maintaining the animals and the surroundings. Just a few pics of cats & dogs up for adoption.
I adopted a kitty from here on March 26th, 2024 and let me just say the staff and everyone there is so kind. They truly care about getting these animals adopted and into loving homes! They were never pushy and if I wasn't sure about one kitty they would show me another one. They were more than willing to listen to what I was looking for in a kitty and went out of their way a couple of times to get answers for questions I had. This place is great and I will be coming here for future adoptions!
I know this shelter is clean and well-maintained. When there was an issue, I worked security overnight. They were very responsive to the needs of the animals, and I was very impressed by the staff. I hope everyone seeking a pet will check here first!
