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..

Liz was responsive via both email and phone, and was easy to communicate with. She confirmed when the trapping was successful and even sent pictures to show that the cat was safe and taken care of. I really appreciate her continued communication, especially since I don't even live in Florida and wouldn't otherwise have a way to check in on this. I believe she is running this on her own so if there is any delay in response, have some patience. Working in non-profit animal rescue is no simple task. Liz clearly has a love for cats and wants to help as many as she can.

I've struggled with anxiety, and bringing her into my life has helped me more than I can put into words. She has such a gentle, loving presence, and simply being around her brings me so much comfort and peace. The adoption process itself was amazing everything was so smooth and easy. I still visit the humane society often just to look at the other animals, and I always pray that each one of them finds a loving home. I know many people prefer to adopt kittens, but I truly believe every animal deserves a chance, no matter their age.Fiona is seven years old, and she is absolute proof that older cats have so much love to give. Choosing her was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I'm so grateful she's part of my life.

I am a firm believer in pet adoption, but the management system at the Humane Society of Broward is…read moreeither incredibly inconsistent or intentionally exclusionary. After driving from Miami on Thursday to meet a specific stray, we were told he couldn't be named or held until his stray period ended. My husband returned Saturday at 10:30 AM (before adoptions opened) to wait for him, only to be told again that the dog was "unnamed and unavailable." Yet, at 11:00 AM, a couple who arrived after my husband was immediately allowed to meet and adopt that same dog. To make matters more confusing, another dog (Elio) who had only been there two days was already named and had two holds placed on him. Why was one dog "off-limits" while another in the same situation was available for holds? We left feeling frustrated and hurt. While we wish "Tyson" and his new family the best, the lack of transparency and the "moving goalposts" regarding adoption rules make it feel like the system is being manipulated behind the scenes.
