Thank you Vero_IRC Humane Society for our wonderful, sweet, ‘best good boy’. Magick has brought so much happiness to us. You took the time to help us find “my hero” and BFF. We appreciate all you do and your facility is amazing as well as everyone who works there. Thank You so very much!! Magick’s mom and dad (Susan and Jim H.)

Adopted my perfect pal, Hippocampus. I'm so happy he's here and he seems pretty happy too!

Had the pleasure of visiting this facility recently. The staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable and there was no barking. The lobby and outside areas were pristine. Unfortunately I didn't find the small dog I was looking for at that time but will definately follow them to see if one comes in. They could certainly be a role middle for other humane societies.

I was reading some of the reviews about the humane society and I believe it's a good place to take your pet or adopt. My mothers cat currently needs to be euthanized, and we are devastated over it. The cat went downhill so fast after a urinary blockage. He was taken to the vet but he did not get better unfortunately. It's better for him not to suffer. As I was reading through some of these reviews, one imparticular caught my eye. I was really disappointed in this womans attitude regarding the dog she wanted to adopt. She goes on to say that she was upset with the humane society for not refunding her money because the new dog she adopted bit the dog that was already living there? And only in a matter of two hours! It's people like that, that I believe should not be pet owners. First of all, you cannot blame the humane society for the dog reacting to another dog. I don't care what anyone said to you lady, you cannot expect to predict or anticipate an animals behavior that you don't know, but that goes for all animals too! Lady, you cannot expect your dog to not be a dog. What I'm saying is, your animals are going to act instinctively whether you want them to or not! And you can't try and hold the humane society accountable for the dog not responding how you expected my dear. Again, animals are mostly unpredictable. And the girl at the humane society only told you what she knew of the dog, it's not her fault that the dog snapped at another dog. And the fact that you would demand a refund from the hs blows my mind. People are way too demanding , entitled and ignorant now a days it's unfortunate . "I want my money back because the dog didn't do what I wanted it to! It acted on instinct and I am gonna need my money back since you told me it was good with other dogs!" LOL come on people think before you act or react

I lost my dog June 27, 2023. I was in Palm Beach emergency vet. I started to look at a new dog immediately ended up at Vero Beach. I looked hard for a good fog for my elder pup.. I got all my expectations filled. I looked at about 150 dogs from palm beach to vero not one of them was a match for my older dog cause I didn’t want a puppy I’m 62 when I was leaving Vero Beach, they were walking a dog that look just like the one I lost so I went to meet him and I’m sure glad I did best ever his name was Seamus, but I named him Snickers and I love him to death. He loves dogs, cats people kids all ages he doesn’t run he’s good with my older dog , I don’t know what he was doing at the shelter 🐾🐾🐾🐾🙏🙏🙏🙏🐾🐾🐾🧡🧡🧡

My daughter found a dog on there site Sunday 11/26/23, We called to make sure the dog was at the facility before we made an 45 minute drive to their county. Someone confirmed the dog was there but by the time we got ready to go they called my daughter to let her know the dog had been adopted. One hour later someone called my daughter back saying the dog was back at the shelter. On Monday 11/27/23 my mother daughter and I drove down to the shelter (we live up in Brevard County) to go look at the dog so we had to wait a little bit to do a meet and grèet with the dog we were interested. We decided to take the dog. We were told by staff the the dog we were interested in was really sweet and seemed to be good with the other dogs at the facility. Once we got home and tried to do a meet and greet with the new dog and our Pomeranian. Things were okay in the beginning. About a half hour with the dog being in our house the new dog went after our little Pomeranian. We took the dog immediately back to shelter because of what the dog did to our dog. They would not give us a refund on the adoption fee. Its not like we had the dog for a day or two or week. The dog was only with us 2 whole hours (when we left for the drive home 45 minutes 30 minutes in the house and a 45 minute drive back to return the dog). The money used to adopt the dog was Christmas money that was my 82 year old money who is on a fixed income and adopting the dog was going to be my daughters early Christmas gift from my mom. I feel its totally wrong of them for not refunding the money to us being the situation. However it would not be fair to anyone else trying to adopt a pet. When I left Monday to return the dog the girl at the desk she couldnt do anything until she talked to her boss on Tuesday. I called yesterday 11/28/23 to talked to someone as I was instructed to do so. The person who answered the phone said she would talk to someone and return my call by 1pm and no phone call. Today 11/29/23 no one will answer the phone. If this doesnt get resolved I am going to seek help to get my $$$$ back
