1 year ago I got my best friend here! She is the absolute love of my life and I’m so thankful I adopted a dog here. The shelter made the adoption process so simple and easy. Before you can take a dog home, they will spay or neuter them, get them all up-to-date on their vaccines, and even send you home with a bag of food and some toys. They even gave me a bed and blanket with her that I still have to this day. She had a little upper respiratory infection and the shelter paid for a follow up visit and treatment for her just in case they missed something as well as a rabies vaccine. The vet care and vaccines alone saved me almost a thousand dollars I would’ve had to spend on a brand new puppy not from the shelter. When I first brought her home, she was very scared and shy, but she opened up and blossomed within three months. I’m not gonna lie, It’s definitely a little bit more work when you get a dog from the shelter given their past, but this is the best dog I’ve ever had and I’ve had dogs my whole life. It’s like she knows that I rescued her! Please adopt and don’t shop.

We visit the humane society of Broward often to check on the dogs and see if they have any dogs we would vibe with. One day we saw a pic of a wonderful pup and had to come down to visit her. We ended up adopting her and it's been a great time. The folks that work here care a great deal about the animals under their watch. I'll recommend this place for sure.

Cannot say enough good things about my experience with adopting a dog. She is a great addition to the family & the process painless, low cost, access to resources and pet insurance really made this better than I could have imagined. Should have done it sooner❣️

We took our dog here for the blessing. Father was very sweet and caring, took his time with each pet. The facilities looked very clean and well maintained.

Update: they called me a week later to tell me I was still on hold for the dog. That his first hold had still not fallen through, and he hadn’t been picked up yet by adopter. I kindly asked to be removed, that I was no longer interested. I have never seen a dog be placed on an adoption hold for 2 weeks. I ended up adopting another dog that was available. I really wish your adoption department had just been straight forward about the dog I called about yesterday. Three different times, in person and over the phone was I told the hold on the dog would be expiring at 5pm yesterday. I drove over 2 hours to your shelter to meet the dog and place a hold on him, in case the 1st hold fell through. I should’ve known something was up when I was greeted at the counter by the incorrect name, and accidentally mistaken as so and so’s friend. When I called this morning again to inquire if I should leave early to go pick him up, I was told over the phone that they needed to put me on a brief hold because the worker didn’t understand why there was a hold on the dog still. When she got back on, she tells me that the hold will be dropping off today at 5 pm, not yesterday OR this morning how I had been informed. I told her that was not what was communicated to me yesterday THREE separate occasions and she very rudely responded “well, that is what is written here on paper and approved by a supervisor.” Two different times we placed a call.My aunt called for me right at 11am yesterday inquiring about the dog and somehow he already had a hold on him and was told it would expire at 5pm yesterday. I called at 11:30am to confirm he was still at the shelter and was told hold would expire at 5pm. When I finally made it to the shelter, I was told my your worker at the counter while in the private room first that hold would expire at 5pm, and then miraculously never mind, hold expires at 11am today. When I called this morning, different story. Hold now expires at 5pm today. I drove over two hours to your shelter to see a dog that was never meant to be adopted out to the public. It’s obvious whoever had him on hold has connections with this shelter. My family and myself have adopted three dogs from this shelter and never have any exceptions been made for us in them allowing us to place a hold for more than 24 hours. And it’s unfortunate that your facility was not straight forward about it. I’m not upset about not getting the dog. I understand it is first come and I hope he went to a good home but it’s very dishonest to keep him online as available and tell me to go ahead and come in on the off chance the hold fell through, when I made it very clear I live well over 1 hr and a half away from your shelter. Oh. And they said they would call me to let me know if he got adopted or if he was available to be adopted out to me. To expect the call no later than 5:30pm. He’s gone from their website so it’s clear he’s gone. They never called me. Do better.
