I question if they actually help animals :/ I think pricing is a bit high but they do color tag specials and can score something for a reasonable cost. This will not be my go to, Goodwill is better next door hands down. I hope they read these reviews and improve.

If I could leave zero stars I would. Terrible environment and terrible management Dakota specifically!! Fraud thrift store should be a consignment store with those prices!! Get all their product for free and charge $20 for clothes that smell like cigarettes and have stains. Extremely uncomfortable shopping environment will never go back

Dakota, the “manager” is extremely disrespectful. Sat up front of the store and poorly spoke on customers who spend their own money on things in the store, donating to the animals. But ever since becoming manager it’s no longer about the animals it’s all for profit and seems to be going to his own pocket. I feel sorry for people who purchase from here, I would go to thrift stores like EARS or project phoenix where the money is actually going back into the community and not into the managers pocket. Like other reviews, extremely uncomfortable environment. Not like it use to be. I would steer clear.

Really nice finds in here, especially the furniture selection. What a great way to support the humane society! Great prices and friendly employees.

Do not bother dropping off donations here. Just take them to Goodwill a few doors down. This was once a caring shop to donate nice items to help raise money to help the animals at the shelter. Now it is run by crabby old women who run out to yell at people who try to bring donations. It is a shame what has happened to this store.

One of the nicest around! Their prices have gone up a bit. But if you really like something, try talking to the manager. He may help adjust the price.

Why is it every time I try to donate here I end up getting attitude from the intake attendants. This time I tried to give them 4 brand new in the box lighting fixtures and the idiot wouldn't take them because there was no way to test them? They were hardwire fixtures from Lowes and had never been out of the box or even opened. Probably a couple hundred dollars worth. Common sense there ain't none and they'll get no more donations from me. I drove all the way to Englewood from Port Charlotte to give them those lights and I also gave them a brand new propane heater worth over $249. Pathetic.

I really like this thrift store since it's supporting the dogs. They just reopened, since taking over the space next door. It's big and spread out now. Just like every thrift store, some items are a steal and others are priced almost like new. I can usually find something and occasionally find a lot of somethings.

I love donating to and shopping at thrift stores that support pet rescues. This one was a major disappointment. Everything was greatly overpriced. The place was very unorganized, dirty and just overall, a mess. Man at counter was very unappreciative of clothes donation I brought and turned off a gentleman by being rude about his “baby donations” that apparently they do not accept. Then he said - do you have other stuff? and said he would be willing to see if he wanted any of it. The look on the man’s face after hauling that large high chair in- i don’t think he brought the rest in to them. For instance on prices - there was a dog gate, about 12-18” high wooden expandable. There were 3 of them $79.99 EACH - I’d say $12.99 would have been top price!! There was a book on Sarasota that was $38 new - they wanted $29! I think $4.99 would have been appropriate. There were ceramic bath toothbrush and soap holders - $14.99 EACH! I wouldn’t pay that for the set. They need some friendly people and maybe some adoptable pets roaming about, good cleaning, massive price reductions and a clearance sale to start fresh!

#1 reason to donate and shop here… proceeds go to helping pets in shelters! Everyday something is on sale. Prices are very reasonable and so far every time I’ve been in furniture is 50% off. Minimum of $15 to use a credit or debit card. Plenty of parking and helpful staff.
