Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Inc.

A kitten was found in The Villages and we wanted to adopt it. We contacted the caring finders who brought him to this shelter on the weekend and told them that I wanted to adopt him. They gave the shelter a donation to cover our expenses and told my wife and I to go to the shelter Monday morning to get the kitten (Tux). When we got there (a 30 min drive) we were told that an employee took him home to foster because he was so small. We were told to fill out an application and there was another party interested in him. I filled out the app online and received an email that they would get back to us in a couple days-they called our 2 references. However 8 days went by so I called them and was told the foster person decided to keep him. When i told the people who found the kitten, I was told the shelter lied to them. Terrible way things were handled. No phone call from them and giving the kitten to an employee. Will never consider going there again. If you read reviews of others, several experienced the same discourteous, lying treatment. There are several great volunteers who work there (Gloria Litman is one) so this behavior is not representative of the others.

We went to look at Max and ended up with Bree. Max is such a beautiful big male but he needed to be an only dog. He wasn't happy with our 4 month old puppy. The people are great there and so carrying. They donations which they need. The place was super clean and they didn't even know I was coming. I am so very impressed with you all. Thanks

Awesome place and awesome people no one but no one cares more about animals than Sumter County Humane Society! They go above and beyond any Call of Duty to serve the community but above all to serve the animals they work diligently to protect and restore to the community to make a great pet for someone. The comments that are made about killing animals that they rescue and bad treatment of the animals are not only false statements but slanderous not only in my opinion but Hands-On with my own eyes. These idiots that degrade the Sumter County Humane Society simply have nothing better to do with their time and as I'm sure you all have heard about that certain group of people every place has one that just want to complain, lie, and hurt people because they are so unhappy in their own lives they want to make everyone else miserable too! Instead of listening to a bunch of trash that again is simply not true visit the Humane Society for yourself. Meet Ann, the Humane Society manager or Carol, the kennel manager or any of the great employees or volunteers there like Terra or Starr oh, that put their heart and soul into each and every animal work overtime without being paid and making sure that all the animals are safe during a tragedy like Irma on their own time going 24/7. I for one am very proud of the Humane Society in my community and if you check them out I think you would be too and for you those miserable people that have nothing better to do with your time than make false statements regarding an Awesome facility and an ASSET to our community, I'll pray for you.
