Sumter County Animal Control

Address: 819 Co Rd 529, Sumterville, FL 33585, USA

“In 2008, I adopted my first dog, max, from this animal control; he died earlier this year followed by his little sister, jazz, a month later. So, from adopting, to weekly visits to find a new companion for jazz, to most recently, fostering, I have pretty extensive experience. Every single person with whom I've interacted at sumter animal control really cares about matching the right animals with the right people. They see unimaginable horror every day and are the last chance for many of society's victims. Plus, all adoptions are FREE. So I LOVED the fact they showed up for a surprise inspection before approving my applications. I never expected to adopt again, but fell in love with my foster puppy. Every time I called with a question about him, they were patient, helpful, professional, and friendly. Instead of taking the puppy to my vet when he was sick, I brought him in and they immediately took him to their vet -- free! I brought him back for all his boosters and hated having to leave him for 2 nights to get neutered. But that's policy and it's done to protect the dogs -- if irresponsible people let them eat before surgery, the animal can die. So while I HATED being separated, I LOVED and respected all the effort that went into making sure my puppy was healthy and adoptable. Only then was I allowed to adopt Freddie and bring him home. There are so many people I'd like to publicly thank for everything they do but I don't know their names. But Margaret who tried to find jazz a new companion, to the officer who did the surprise visit, to officer osiris (that might not be her right name) who took care of Freddie every time I brought him in, too officer Tuttle who was mostly at the desk, to everyone at this office who works every day to give animals another chance, you all earned my complete respect and gratitude. Thank you! I've just glimpsed some of the recent, really bad reviews. Seriously? Animal control -- prison for dogs -- exists to clean up the problems created by people through abuse, neglect, and pure selfishness. Just walking through the kennels crushes my soul; I don't how these people do what they do every single day without losing their minds. Instead of being so selfish, everyone who complains needs to ask themselves what they can do personally to make things better for these animals.”
