I came here by searching online with intentions of rescuing/adopting a feline friend for life. Initially I thought it would be easy to decide but the moment I stepped into the room my heart dropped. Having been a previous owner of a feline I knew what it was to care for one but nothing prepared me for this. All eyes were on me and ears alert as if to say..."pick me"..."take me home". Well, it's been about 2 mos. with almost daily visits and coming to know many of them by their name and I still haven't decided. Many people are telling me to let them pick you but I can't take a dozen of them! I'm open to suggestions but meantime I'll keep visiting and helping this animal shelter. I'm still visiting my feline friends & 99.9% sure with my decision on two felines "Duke" & "Tinker Bell"!

I went there after looking on the website at their dogs and seeing how long many of these dogs have been at APR. When I walked in on 5/8/26 around opening time at noon and expressed I was interested in adopting a dog and asked if I could see the dogs I was immediately met with a nasty attitude by the woman in the office. She said we are way too busy here for you to walk or play with the dogs and went on with a list of how they can't be bothered with me. First of all, I never asked to walk or play with the dogs - I simply asked if I could see the dogs to understand if I was interested in one that you currently have to know if it made sense to go thru the application process. I'm a professional that works from home and would love to rescue a dog that needs a good home and I was spoken to like a child being scolded. This woman was disrespectful, condescending, and down right rude. The stench and filth in this office matched with the nasty difficult attitude immediately made sense as to why these dogs are not getting adopted out. I hope the board for this establishment understands they need major reform. I would be concerned as a donor to this establishment thinking my money was going to get these animals homes only to find out the difficulties the community faces when trying to adopt here. Sad situation, this place needs to be investigated..

Wildlife Rescue of Dade County provides free educational programs to schools and community organizations. We train, equip, and deploy, worldwide as necessary, personnel to assist local groups in animal rescue after disasters." I found out about this organization through a friend. She put together a volunteering event through Benevity on Cinco De Mayo (May 5th). A lot of us showed up to volunteer. Paula and Lloyd, who are the owners, were not expecting so many volunteers, so they were a bit shocked and did not know what to do. However, we were able to get a lot done. After Hurrican Irma, the property got destroyed a bit. Debris was everywhere. We got to help clear the porch area, clean the cages/crates, pressure clean the floor and outdoor cage areas. We also organized some tools and items into several bins. Some of us cut the grass by the porch with scissors so that it'd be easier to maneuver around for now. We really tried our best in making a dent during this volunteering event. We learned that they rescue wildlife animals and release them back to the wild. While taking of of the animals, they do not let them get used to human contact and affection, so that they will survive better in the wild. We got to see baby raccoons, a baby fox, a baby possum, a baby owl, baby birds, chickens, and few other animals. We learned that a lot of bird moms purposely leave their babies on the group for a few weeks so that they can learn to fend for themselves. However, a lot of people mistaken that the parents are purposely neglecting their kids, but they are not. So if you see baby birds on the floor, do not pick them up and do not assume that they are lost or neglected. It's really great to see what Paula and Lloyd are doing. They are truly genuinely good people who try to help the community on top of their full time jobs. They could definitely use all the help they can get. This is a great place to volunteer for. If you find an injured animal, contact them first before bringing them to the Wildlife Rescue location.

    First things first ... I think people need to understand the role of the rescue. When I went into…read morethis, I did my research, and many were disheartened because they were turned away or never called, and the typical reaction was "What the heck? I am trying to do a good thing here, and these rescues are not letting me!" Yes, you may get turned away. Know why? Because those dogs ended up there for a reason, and the rescue wants to make sure they never get surrendered again. So to some, the application, calls, vet checks, reference checks, and home visits might seem a bit much, but there is a reason for those steps - finding a forever home for these dogs. So if you love dogs, you should be happy they are being responsible and careful in their decisions. My experience with DRSF was nothing short of great. From Nora the matchmaker to Brett who completed the home visit to Laura who fostered my little Hans (now Rupert) and his brother ...these people care about these dogs, and they are doing this with heart. The dogs are taken care of and loved while in their care, which I am not sure you can say about puppy stores and in some cases, breeders. If you are looking to support an organization that reflects a solid mission and that is honest and forthright, look no further. I am very happy with my little doxie and with my experience, and you will be too. :-)

Yes they have a checklist of rule & regulations. Yes they have an ironclad agreement ultimately protecting the well being of the pup even after adoption if you decide to surrender it. Absolutely they're adamant about these bylaws & it may feel as if they're overbearing & strict. But let's take a step back & realize the s-show some rescues can be... rule of thumb (and best advice) becomes a volunteer & then a foster if you want a good shot at adopting exactly what you're looking for or close enough... I've gone from volunteering with them back in 2012 for several years to doing home visits & pulls from the county to ultimately fostering & becoming a foster failure. Our second dachshund was a straight shot adoption. So we've adopted 2 doxies in the last 10+ years. Be on top of your application (it's only valid for a year) but also do a little more with the rescue to gain credibility. And yes keep your current puppers up to date on vaccines, dental care & neutered/spayed.

URGENT - PSA - what's going on here (witnessed today 7/27/2025) ANIMAL NEGLECT !!!…read more I always strive to write positive reviews whenever possible, especially for non-profits & organizations that aim to help animals.. However, I visited this "rescue" today with my children, and I was absolutely appalled at what we saw! Wish I could give zero stars. Where do I begin.... For one- as soon as we stepped foot inside, we had to literally hold our breaths from the stench. The place is filthy-there is urine and fecal matter everywhere. And it only got worse as we walked around.. It's so overcrowded with way too many cats sharing small spaces. There is an obvious lack of necessary supplies like water and food -the cats are so skinny and clearly malnourished. The dogs don't appear healthy either and there are at least two sharing each cage, surrounded by urine and feces also. We felt so sorry for these poor animals and our hearts were breaking! :( One woman working there came to greet us. The other few staff/volunteers were either sitting down looking at their phones or in the back not helping. I wish these animals could all find loving homes, of course, but until then, it is the job of the shelter to properly care for them. The "United For Animals Rescue" is understaffed, under-equipped, and clearly do NOT genuinely care about the health and well-being of these needy animals! It's so very sad. I should have taken pictures, but the odor was so unbearable that we just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. All the positive reviews are from years ago. We have visited there in the past, and I remember it used to be great. I don't know why or how it got so bad there, but something needs to be done IMMEDIATELY PLEASE to prevent these and any more helpless animals from suffering any longer!!! **HOW DO I FILE A REPORT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!?**

    PUPPY MILL NOTICE - BREEDER INFO AND CHARGES BELOW: PATRICIA…read moreROWE - 10791 ORIAN ROAD SHERIDAN, MO 64486 - Public records https://www.humaneworld.org/sites/default/files/docs/101-problem-puppy-mills.pdf (PAGE 18) LUIS GONZALEZ- 22111 DAWN DRIVE MILAN, MO 63556 - Public records https://www.humaneworld.org/sites/default/files/docs/HSUS_Horrible-Hundred-2023.pdf (PAGE 13) Both of these breeders have failed USDA inspection reports; showing multiple problems at Rowe's Family Kennel, including excessive accumulations of feces, dogs outside in the cold in January, and dirty food. At Breeder Luis Gonzalez's location a puppy was found "lethargic and cold to the touch," another dog was underweight with his ribs and spine showing; the facility had over 500 dogs." I am beyond outraged by the inhumane and negligent treatment of these animals at Forever Love Puppies in Pembroke Park. We purchased two puppies: a 3-month-old Chihuahua and a 2-month-old Pomeranian. They came home sick. No family should ever experience the fear and financial burden of bringing home a puppy only to find out it is already ill. The so-called "complimentary" veterinary visit that this store "gifts" buyers to use is completely misleading. Our puppies were never examined by a veterinarian, yet we were assured by a staff assistant that they were "perfect" without any tests or physical examination. Side note on this fraud of a clinic: When I walked out of the examination room, there was a dead dog on the bench next to a lady in the waiting room. Such a level of unprofessionalism or disrespect is unbelievable. The attendant called someone to "come get the body". Didn't offer a room for the lady to grieve and choose the urn made her pay and choose in front of everyone with her dead dog on the bench behind her. Days later, our Chihuahua puppy ended up in the emergency room severely dehydrated with signs of Ataxia, a neurological symptom. The result? Over $1,200 in emergency veterinary bills and weeks of emotional distress, all of which could have been avoided with proper care and honest medical screening. We were told that a simple fecal test would have immediately detected Giardia. That basic test was never performed, even though the paperwork states otherwise. We took our boys to our private veterinarian, and both were diagnosed with Giardia. Even more disturbing is the breeder listed on our paperwork. A quick search reveals serious public concerns tied to this breeder. When we looked up the address ourselves using publicly available satellite imagery, the location appears to be a barn-like structure with no visible evidence of adequate shelter or proper housing facilities. At the time, temperatures were around 32 degrees. The thought of vulnerable puppies being housed and possibly transported in those conditions is horrifying. The fact that this store continues to source from breeders surrounded by red flags demonstrates either a shocking lack of due diligence or a complete disregard for animal welfare and consumer protection. There is also a publicly available news report involving the owner's son, Larry Master, which every potential buyer should watch before considering a purchase. Reports and documentation show that puppies are transported in freezing temperatures, with hundreds crammed into trucks and distributed to pet stores across the country. These are living, breathing animals, not merchandise, not inventory, not commodities. This entire experience was irresponsible, unethical, and deeply disturbing. If you care about animal welfare, please do your research. Seek out truly reputable, transparent breeders or consider adoption. No puppy deserves to suffer for the sake of profit, and no family deserves to bring home heartbreak instead of joy. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/lawsuits-forever-love-puppies-accused-of-selling-sick-dogs-11711531/
