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?!?**

Like many women's clubs in Florida, the Hollywood Women's Club was founded in 1922 during the Florida Land Boom years. In the 1920's women's clubs were formed to give back to the community. They became a way for women to get out of the house and assert their independence. They allowed women to get involved in politics and launched the women's rights movement. The Hollywood Women's Club predated the founding of the city and in 1924 they joined the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The first club members were the wives of officers in the J.W. Young Organization which was the development company building Hollywood. They met in the first clubhouse that was built on land donated by the founder of Hollywood, Joseph W. Young in 1927. Early club projects included donating hundreds of books to the first public library, holding tag sales to pay for health screenings for children, giving migrating farmers assistance with housing and welfare, getting the Miami Telephone Co. to bring the first telephone line to town, and collecting $12,000 during a war bonds drive. Today the club supports literacy programs, funds a youth scholarship, participates in the Hollywood Historical Society, supports the neighborhood crime watch, and provides financial aid to many state charities through the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The original plans for the clubhouse included an ornate Mediterranean Revival style. After the collapse of the land boom due to the Great Depression and several hurricanes the design was scaled back to a more affordable $25,000 Classical Revival style building in 1927. The building was listed as a a local historical landmark in 1985, and added to the National Register of Historic Place in 1995. Between 2012 and 2014 money was raised by the club and added to a grant to prevent the clubhouse from sinking into the sand. Other cosmetic work was also completed on this charming historical building. In 2022 the Hollywood Women's Club celebrated their 100th anniversary. During this time further electrical improvements and upgrades to the kitchen were made. Today the clubhouse is available to be rented for private events. The 1,200 square foot main event room has hardwood floors and a grand piano and can accommodate 60 people. There is also a catering kitchen. Information on how to rent the clubhouse and join and volunteer with this important civic organization can be found on the club website. If there are any upcoming events you can find that information as well. For instance they hold 2 round bingo nights for $10. The next bingo night is May 30th and they serve inexpensive drinks including alcohol and snacks. For over 100 years the women of Hollywood have been coming together to improve their local community as well as the state of Florida. Women's clubs have a legacy of helping their communities and it's nice to see that this one is still going strong today.

The Ft. Lauderdale Women's Club was founded on January 11, 1911 as the Woman's Civic Improvement…read moreAssociation with 18 women as the first club members. The club is 2 1/2 months older than the incorporation of the city of Ft. Lauderdale. A 135 by 100 foot lot was donated by Ft. Lauderdale pioneers Frank and Ivy Stranahan. Ivy was a school teacher and a very civic minded person. She was involved in African-American, women's and Native American's rights, as well as the first chapter of the Audubon Society and the Red Cross. The Seminole's would paddle up the New River in their canoes and trade with the Stranahan's for the good's they couldn't grow. Ivy would use use her school teacher background the educate the Seminole's when they visited. Ivy served as president of Women's Club from 1913 until 1916. The name of the group was changed to Fort Lauderdale Women's Club in 1913. They took on many of the projects needed to improve the town like adding streetlights. In 1912 the club started the first volunteer fire department with a donation of $100. The clubhouse was designed by noted architect August Geiger in a Mediterranean Revival Style. Building began in 1916 and finished in 1917, their clubhouse was the community's first library. Located at Broward and Andrews Avenue it is in the center of the City of Ft. Lauderdale that grew up around it. Today the Women's Club continues to partner with non profits in the community like Broward Outreach, Children in Distress, and the Wildlife Care Center. They also give scholarships to high school students. In order to pay for the upkeep of the house the club rents it out for community functions and weddings. The clubhouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens, In recent years the club has struggled with keeping the downtown homeless population from destroying the property. A large fence now surrounds what used to be an open park.
