Years ago, I used to donate to this shelter, but sadly, I've never had a good experience when visiting. The staff is typically terse, bordering on rude. From what I've seen and read, I would never adopt from this shelter. Try Good Karma Pet Rescue instead. We got our sweet rescue doggy from them, and the process couldn't have been easier!

I would give 0 stars if I could. Most of the staff was extremely nice and helpful, besides this one elderly blonde lady with a ponytail and bangs. We were interested in adopting a dog that we knew we would be able to take care of and provide a loving home to, and this woman was rude undermining our experience and judging us just because we are in our twenties, which is apparently too young to adopt a dog according to her. Little does she know we have grown up with dogs all our lives and have had our own as well, I also used to be a veterinary assistant which provided me with more experience regarding their behavior, health problems, and taking care of them in general. This rude lady was basically saying anything and everything to make us not adopt the dog based off of assumptions she had made about us. I think that is insanely unprofessional and I would not recommend going here judging off of the experience I just had. We were so excited and she ruined our mood, you would think by working at an animal shelter, you’d want people to adopt the dogs and give them a loving home. This was not the case

This place is disgusting, completely inhumane it makes me sick. Everyone involved should be ashamed for taking advantage of animal advocates and lovers alike. Suzanne may be one of the most unfortunate people I’ve crossed paths with. Wouldn’t touch this rescue with a 10 ft pole….

Judith P | Sep 10, 2020
Paul Y | Sep 10, 2020

Yes, they will accept them. They are open from 8 am to 5 pm Thur thru Sun & Tuesday. They are closed Monday & Wednesday. There's no staff after hours so it would be hard for the donation to get dropped off.

Friends, please help! Lovely white/grey female cat needs a home, asap. Her owner had to go to a care home, and now the poor cat is in the care of the owner's 90 year old father, who doesnt want it. Deerfield.

Tri County in Boca, Peggy Adams in Palm Beach and Florida Humane in Pompano are all places that *might* be able to accept her and eventually place her in a permanent home.

Average record retention laws are between 3 and 5yrs. But I would call if I were you since we had computers in 2011. If they used computers then they may still have the records.

I HAVE 2 14MO OLD BLUE NOSE PITS THAT NEED A GOOD HOME. THEY'RE HAPPY, HEALTHY, HIGH ENERGY PUPS(70#?), UP TO DATE ON ALL SHOTS, HEARTGUARD, NEXGUARD, NEUTERED AND CHIPPED. RAISED WITH OTHER DOGS, CATS AND KITTENS. GREAT DOGS, HATE TO LET GO. PLEASE

Kelly Hill | Sep 11, 2018
Stephanie Hankammer | Sep 11, 2019

Don’t give to anyone online that you do not know it’s never safe . I advise you ask any potential adopter for their vet’s info then call them up for vet references. If you don’t ask for a rehoming fee at least get check all interested people.

do they allow people to just visit and play with the animals?

Rose rose | Aug 11, 2022
Doreen Thompson | Aug 11, 2022

No. You have to ask staff member ir front desk first. If interested in a pet, there is a process you have to go through.

Do they take blanket donations? And if so, where do you drop off?

Tiffany Z | May 13, 2022
Kurt Knapp | May 13, 2022

Yes! Just drop off in the front

I have a 2 yr old German shepherd and greyhound mix. Can I drop her off on 8-20-21 at 12 noon? I will also leave a donation. Will you be open?

Someone told me that Tri-County is not permitting older people to adopt puppies, They only allow adoption of older dogs. Is that fact?

Rhoda Berke | Sep 10, 2021
Paul Y | Sep 10, 2021

No. Anyone can try to adopt any animal, but if your lifestyle, age, medical status has issues... adopting a young puppy is not advisable. Puppies don't stay small forever & they have lots of energy. The same can't be said for seniors. Will that 70 year old lady still be able to walk her puppy after 5 or 10 years when the dog is fully grown? If not,, then what happens?

That's terrible that just because you're so "busy" you're willing to discard your dog that is way. Maybe your dog is better off at Tri County Shelter than being in a home where they are not wanted.

Maybe tricounty staff can recommend a charity org that helps pay for vet services or a local vet who will work w/you in paying installments. I understand tricounty might be understaffed & underpaid but pls be more compassionate and suggest solutions to help dogs in need. Also try gofundme, IG or Facebook to raise money for the vet care. Will be praying for your baby.

Stephanie Hankammer | Sep 11, 2019

Yes call and ask they may ask you to show pictures and they will want them utd on vaccines before they consider taking them in . Space is usually full but if it’s a dog they think can easily be adopted then your Chances are good. Tri county tries to be fair but it’s really a space issue and big older dogs are harder to push off into adoption.

Tri county doesn’t sell dogs they adopt them to homes and it’s a process to see if you even are eligible to adopt . Then you select a pet you are interested in but they will ask you a lot of questions and if you aren’t going to keep the dog you adopt they won’t allow you adopt even a pet rock from them.
