You can enjoy free coffee and $5 BBQ. Donations go toward rent and any excess money is donated to a dog shelter. As of right now, three small dog shelters bring their dogs to the Saturday event: Kamp Kritter, Old Dog Rescue, Dachshund Adoption Rescue and Education. At first I was a little upset that there weren't more dogs to meet, but then I realized that must be a good thing because so many have been adopted in previous weekends!! All of the volunteers were very kind. Each dog had a volunteer that watched over them and introduced the dog. They were very organized in having waivers prepared for when we came in through the back. The little seating area out back was really nice with a very welcoming door to come into see the dogs that were staying out of the heat. That's also where you will find the free coffee and the place to make a donation. If you walk through the barber shop there is even more going on out front! Can't wait to go back!

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.

(Photos were taken when he was alive) On Thursday, July 30th, we took our fostered 4 day old kitten…read moreto the clinic due to what appeared to be an infection on his umbilical cord, a pustule on his tummy, bright red skin/bloated and constipation. To start, we were brought into the room without the kitten so we couldn't point out any issues or see how in depth they examined him. The vet tech came back in and LITERALLY said and I quote, "He's just built weird. His stomach is just funky looking." We continued to ask in depth questions about each issue he had and was told the pustule was "probably an ant bite", the umbilical cord "was NOT infected" and his bottom would be fine even though he prolapsed from constipation. We asked about treatment and were told to just keep the area dry and THAT'S IT! No medication, no tips in case anything opened up, and left with no answers. All we could do was keep the area as clean as we could. Yesterday, Monday August 3rd, the kitten became lethargic and started crying in pain. He could barely move without meowing in pain so he was taken to an emergency vet where they informed us that the infection was deep and he went septic. Nothing could be done at this point so we had no other option but to euthanize him so he wouldn't be in any more pain. This was a very traumatic and upsetting experience in so many ways. The absolute neglect and trauma we experienced feels inhumane ironically. I've been so devastated and can't believe everything that's happened. Had we gotten proper treatment, he would still be here and wouldn't have been suffering in pain. Absolutely disgusting, horrible and careless staff. Will NEVER be fostering through Jacksonville Humane or using their vet services ever again. Worst experience of my life.

I first visited Seminole County Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary in August when the tortoise hatchlings…read morewere ready for adoption. I went with my friend so her daughter could pick out two of them. This place is absolutely beautiful. When we first arrived, we were greeted by Ellen and her super friendly pup, and they showed us around. We got to go into the aviary, where I fell in love with a darling cockatiel. First off, the aviary is stunning. Ellen and Darien take in rescued birds, rehabilitate them, and re-home the ones that they can. They go to great measures to ensure that the right person adopts the right bird, and they provide wonderful resources and hands-on training. The birds are extremely well taken care of and cared for by Ellen and her staff. As someone who believes in animal advocacy, this means a lot to me. I am now finishing the process of adopting that sweet little cockatiel (she comes home tomorrow), and I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for Ellen, Darien and all the amazing work they do for the animals at the Rescue & Sanctuary. I highly recommend with a full and happy heart!!
