I am truly dissatisfied with this place for several reasons. First, they seem overwhelmed with the…read morenumber of animals and are seriously understaffed. When we went to adopt a dog we felt a connection with, we were alarmed to find that he had just been neutered, yet they rushed to hand him over along with post op medication. The dog's paw was bleeding and had visible lacerations, but they failed to inform me on what happened. We also found out he had a contagious illness that could jeopardize my other pets at home. When I asked questions about the dog's condition, the staff were dismissive and quick to provide paperwork without addressing his health issues. After bringing him home, he became critically ill that very night, we took him to a 24 hour vet hospital. Turns out he is a very sick dog. FYI there are no vets available at the Seminole Animal Shelter on weekends so if they tell you their vets will take a look at the pet if the pet falls ill just know this doesn't apply to the weekends. This lack of transparency and care put my other pets at risk due to the pets contagious illness that they knew about and I am extremely upset about the entire experience. I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

They also have two baskets of free dog toys.

I don't often leave reviews like this, but I feel it's important to share what happened in hopes…read morethat it prevents another family from going through what mine just did. On September 9th, my family adopted two kittens, Aren and Delle, from this rescue. We were told they had recently recovered from an upper respiratory infection and were now healthy. Unfortunately, less than a month later, our sweet Delle passed away on October 10th from FIP -- a fatal illness that likely developed from an infection that hadn't fully resolved. We followed all the recommended vet care and sought immediate treatment the moment she showed signs of illness, but despite every effort, she declined quickly. It was a deeply traumatic and heartbreaking experience for our family -- and for Aren, her sister, who is now grieving as well. I want to make it clear that I deeply understand and appreciate the mission behind animal rescues and the challenges they face in caring for so many animals in need. My intention in sharing this isn't to criticize, but to hopefully encourage more thorough medical reviews and communication before adoption. Even small improvements in diligence could help prevent another family from being blindsided by such a devastating situation. I emailed the rescue on October 11th, not in anger but simply to inform them of what happened. Unfortunately, I never received a response. Delle was deeply loved and is deeply missed. I truly hope that sharing her story leads to positive changes for future adoptions -- and to more happy, healthy forever homes.

What I don't have photos of are: -The joy I saw in him while sticking his head out of the window on the drive home -The way he cuddled with me last night -The way he rolled on his back while watching tv on the sofa next to me and wanted me to scratch his belly -He was so hesitant to jump on the sofa and only after I insisted did he do it. He stayed kind of stiff for a few minutes and then finally just fell back and put his head in my lap and nuzzled me. He fell asleep and snored. -He slept all night next to me cuddled up, snoring and stretching out. -He was shell shocked when we got home yesterday. I had a delivery from instacart and he just walked up to the gate, didn't bark didn't react. He seemed exhausted and I think shell shocked was the best word. -Today the county was cutting the grass along the street and my neighbors in the back where out and about and he barked! A completely different dog from yesterday. I think he is sure of me and sure that this is all real and is feeling protective. Going and getting him is one of the top 5 things I have ever done. My heart breaks just a little every time I think of what he has been through and how long he waited. But I truly believe it all had to happen so we could finally rescue each other. I love him so much and can't thank the staff at Orange County enough for not euthanizing him and for hanging in there with him and praying for him. IT WORKED! I will send more photos and updates of the big guy. And while you guys were praying, I was too. My oldest dog Diesel died right before Thanksgiving and I will always have a missing piece of me. I have 2 female dogs but really I got them before I was ready for another dog. I love them but they have not been through anything. I told everyone I was waiting for the next Diesel, a dog that really needed a break and someone to come through for them. Can't thank you enough and thanks to Nextdoor.com for posting photos of Zeus and saying such nice things about him.

I adopted a puppy from lotsa love pet rescue at the petsmart in waterford lakes about 2 months ago…read more Overall it was a good experience... I love my new family member so much and he is happy and healthy! The staff there is nice but quick and very in and out. I wasnt askd many questions before adopting, which made it easy on me however i felt they should get to know the adopter better. My dog when rescued had all shots was neutered and everything which was great! But he sadly did have fleas and tape worm (which i wasnt told.... I found out once we got out of petsmart and i saw him scratching and with dry flaky skin). These are cmmon and minor issues found in shelter dogs but i wish they would have been more open with me. They did let me foster him for the night to make sure we were a match- and we were!! The fee was very resonable at 150.00 but ranges from 100-350.00. Make sure to take your new dog to the vet no matter what! (They come with a free check up, sample flea meds, and tons of coupons to the store) Overall the staff of volunteers cares about the pets and i am very happy with my puppy and the decision to adopt. ALWAYS SAVE A LIFE AND RESCUE! Dont shop, adopt!!
