We brought Maggie home from there. She is such a good dog. She had some training from volunteers there. She loves to run and we have the yard for her. She plays well with other dogs. She protects us too. She seems to know who is good and who potentially is not, she stands her ground and quietly let's them know to keep their distance. She makes us laugh, we are ready to add another dog to our family. And we will go back here to get another dog.

I went to animal services today. Our kitty has been missing a month. They were extremely busy, it was neuter commuter day. Everyone was taking numbers, but I asked them if I had to wait in the long line to view the lost cats, they said no & a man came out & escorted me to the two cat rooms. He was very patient & kind & he did not rush me. Unfortunately my baby wasn't there but it gave me such peace of mind to see for myself. This was in sharp contrast with my experience of going to Marion county humane society yesterday. When I called, noone told me I couldn't view the pets myself, after I arrived,they told me I had to look at the book but not see the cats. No empathy there. They said this has always been their rule. I left there feeling even more grief stricken.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I recently switched my dogs to a new food. Now I have about 25 to 35 lbs of Purina Dog Chow in a Purina One Selectblend bag. Is that something you could accept as a donation?

Animals are adopt everyday which let new ones come in the shelter all the time. You will need to check daily. https://www.marioncountyfl.org/departments-agencies/departments-a-n/animal-services/adoptable-pets Also, don't make my mistake. My family feel in love with a beautiful treeing dog but we needed to clean up the house; so, my kids' toys don't get chew up. We came back and she was already adopted. Be ready to adopt your dog that very same day.

They keep friendly healthy dogs and cats as long as they have space. I have to comment regarding the 2 week old kitten, she was convinced they would put down. As someone who has fostered 95 cats & kittens for them, I know they really try to find foster family to take them until they are 2 lb & ready for spaying/neutering.
