The conditions at the animal shelter are deeply concerning; the dogs appear forlorn and neglected,…read moreseemingly deprived of outdoor access. The odor in the dog area is overwhelming, reminiscent of decay, making it unbearable for visitors. My sister and I found it impossible to remain in that section due to the repugnant atmosphere. In stark contrast, the cat area was the only part that appeared to be maintained (reason for one star). It is disheartening to see the staff, many of whom were idly seated at computers, failing to address the needs of the dogs. This facility either requires immediate closure or a complete overhaul in leadership to ensure genuine care and effort are prioritized. County commissioners, your attention is urgently needed. Very sad.

There was a senior dig that was dumped at a park in south St Pete that Animal Control picked up…read more There was a lady that wanted to adopt the dog who had also offered to spend time at the shelter with this poor old girl until she could adopt her. Potential adopter was denied. Animal control euthanized the dog on Jan 10, 2025 because dog was old and arthritic. Did I mention there was someone who WANTED TO ADOPT THE DOG????? Shame on animal control for denying this dog a compassionate owner. Also, this potential adopter went immediately to the park when she saw the dog had been abandoned and told Animal Control that she would adopt and provide all needed care for the dog. This has broken the hearts of everyone who was worried about this dog and were prepared to donate towards any needed costs of care.

Between the puppy teething bites, sled dog walks, terrorizing the mailman, and little dog ego, we knew we needed help. We called Sharon with BarkBusters, and she is an absolute game changer. At home training, No treats, No Tricks needed. Our furbaby is 6lbs of fierceness, and like his dad he wants to establish dominance in everything he does, including over our 2 cats and the entire household. In just one visit, Sharon taught us to think like a dog and how to lead the pack. Learning how to actually say NO in a language dogs understand has been groundbreaking for us. We've had dogs before, but we learned more in one session with Sharon than we did in a lifetime on our own. The future is so bright for our puppy Oliver, and we have Sharon and Barkbusters to thank for that!

We already had a well-behaved, but sensitive black lab mix. Sharon spent hours with us talking about canine psychology and working on attentiveness training. We worked with the dogs on the first visit, both at home, walking around the neighborhood, and at unfamiliar locations so we encountered another dog. The first day of training made an IMMEDIATE, huge difference; we were shocked and thrilled. The black lab was incorporated into the training too. She talked plainly with us and was realistic about interventions we would and would not be able to make for the dogs. She was awesome, we've seen lasting effects with our Staffie, and we plan on having our second session soon to follow up on our homework. Thanks Bark Busters!

I had the pleasure of interacting with several of them and wow, lucky me. I went in on a Tuesday and I was rudely told "I don't have time for you, I have to get home to my animals" I am going to take accountability for arriving 28 minutes before they close, but I work. I was told to come back the next day and had my eye on a certain animal so I took off of work and went back. Completely closed!! Closed for "meeting" nothing online, nothing in their site, just closed. Why would an employee tell me to do that when they weren't even going to be open? I have the answer, it's because they don't care or they're incompetent. I ended up going to friends of strays and had a wonderful experience. The staff cares. For the sake of all the animals, I hope this location closes or management pays closer attention to their staff.

You have to fill out an application and have them come visit your residence to make sure it's a suitable environment for a greyhound. You then will go visit them on Saturday and they will introduce you to 4 to 5 different dogs to see which one is the right fit. They are very instructive and very supportive and helping make sure that you have a successful adoption and your pet will be spayed and neutered before it comes to you in addition to being fostered and potty trained. Greyhounds are different than any other dog and require a little bit of education but I would never do anything different and absolutely loved the experience.
