My friends and I had so much fun, we barely got settled into our car when we planned our next visit, and then for days afterwards were reliving the visit and showing pics to our friends. First off, how often do you visit a zoo or sanctuary where you are greeted by an enthusiastic chorus of HELLLOO along with some excited head bobbing? The parrots here are obviously well cared for (they have clean cages, heat lamps and a hurricane shelter is being built) and happy. They are extremely friendly, well, some are, and curious. Whenever we walk near to the cage to take a picture, three or four other parrots will inch close. It takes the hardest restrain not to reach out and pat them. Our tour guide is a volunteer at the sanctuary, and knows the parrots well and tirelessly answered all our questions and patiently waited as we spend too much time with the parrots. Thanks for such a great time, and definitely will be back!

Absolutely enjoyed our tour! Loved seeing and learning about all the birds and their journey to Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary. Best of all I loved Tango! He was the star of the sancrusty!

Really neat place. The volunteers are very sweet and the range of species they care for are impressive and interesting.

I adopted my pup, Stewie from here and it is a great place to go to find your new best friend…read more The shelter is around the corner from my house, so my husband and I are there often to drop off shelter supplies when they make requests, but we never adopted from there. However, when we lost our beloved Snoop the end of July of last year, a week later, we went over there to "just look" and consider perhaps getting another dog somewhere down the road. They had just had a puppy palooza event there so there were a bunch of brand new pups that were just shipped in from Alabama. While it was never our intention to get a puppy...we were set on getting an older dog like we always had in the past, there was a lab pup who was all alone in the back who looked so sad, and so much like our Snoop, that we adopted him right then and there. He was only 3 months old, but already 30 pounds. He was a big guy, and because he was a lab/great dane mix, they told us that he would not be easily adopted because no one wants a dog that big. Well, we did. We took him home right then and there. :) The shelter is very clean. The attendants are very patient and sit with you outside while you get to know your potential new friend. The dogs seem pretty happy, except for the fact that they are scared and caged. Of course, that will occur in every shelter...but they all looked very well cared for. All the dogs appeared to have been freshly bathed and well groomed. There is a big area for them to go run outside. They are very choosy with the potential parents. You have to fill out a bunch of paperwork. If you live in an apartment, (we don't) you have to get a letter from your landlord stating that you can have a dog there. When you adopt, they offer a free "well care" visit at VCA Little Animal Hospital, which is the vet we use any way, so we were really pleased about that. When we got Stewie checked out, he was in great health. They give you a free collar and leash for your doggie when you adopt and coupons and incentives to adopt, like coupons for dog food and puppy training. Any questions we had, they readily answered. They keep great records on all the animals there, so you can find out as much about your baby as you can. All the animals are spayed/neutered and chipped before you adopt. The average fee to adopt a dog is about $150. (Don't know what the fee is for kitties). The people at the shelter are very friendly and patient with your questions. They encourage you to bring your children there to have a meet/greet with your potential new friend to see if they get on well with the kids before you adopt. We don't have little ones ourselves any more, but we do have two grandchildren who at the time were under 4, so this was a great thing to be able to do before we committed to our puppy. They are very committed to finding the "right fit" between pet and adoptive family. Now Stewie is 7 months old and we just adore our SEVENTY FIVE pound horse! LOL He's so happy and healthy and we could not imagine life without him. If you are not in the position to adopt, they are always looking for volunteers to come play with the dogs and cats, or bring them supplies, like dog food and blankets. They also have a foster program for their pets, if you are so inclined and can help when their facility reaches maximum capacity. They try very hard not to turn any animal away. They are a NO KILL shelter and are always holding events to help get these sweet creatures adopted. They also take in animals who would otherwise end up on the street so please, if you can no longer keep your pets, consider bringing them to the shelter instead of turning them loose and hoping they survive on their own devices. Please get your dogs and cats spayed and neutered to help control the animal population in Pasco which is really out of control. Overall, our experience with SPCA Suncoast went very well...and if we are ever looking to adopt again, we will definitely go back. Thank you, SPCA Suncoast for helping us to find our new best friend and healing the emptiness we had in our hearts when we lost our boy. You people were so kind, warm and understanding. We are grateful to you all.

Very hard to communicate with. They say they will do something and they don't. They string you…read morealong for long periods of time and then ignore you. They do not answer basic questions about their procedures and policies. Responses are very short and cold. They are not communicating with anyone on Facebook, via phone, or email. They have been closed to in person visits for two weeks (which was supposed to be one week) due to another outbreak of kennel cough from what they told the public weeks ago. No updates anywhere including Facebook, their website, or via voicemail. They are actively ignoring the community and dozens of people have been waiting for weeks for information. There is a group of concerned animal advocates on Facebook that have been trying to figure out what is going on because now dogs are disappearing from their website and they are refusing to talk to anyone. I have worked in rescue my entire life and I've never seen anything like this. It is truly mind blowing. We hope the dogs are okay, but nobody knows because they won't talk. At this point, I don't know if we would believe what they say anyways. Trust has been broken. This is by far the most bizarre experience I've ever had with a rescue or shelter in all the decades I've been in rescue professionally and in a volunteer capacity. I used to donate to this place yearly and talk them up every chance I got, I won't be doing that anymore. They are doing the opposite of what a professional, compassionate, and legitimate 501c3 non profit does and it is making the community very uncomfortable. Something isn't right and everyone needs to be aware of what is going on.
