There was already 6 cars waiting at the gate. Such a busy place! The volunteers were all very helpful. We were able to see the dog we had in mind, but another couple had their eye on him first so we went to see the other dogs in the back. Everyone was so kind and personable. After 5-10min, the original volunteer told us the couple left and did not adopt the doggo we were looking at so we got to adopt him within the hour. All dogs are neutered/spayed, bordatella, flea treatment, heart worm tested, and given a few other vaccines. They are also microchipped. I felt the staff had genuine care for these pets and wanted the best for them. Thank you again!

We came to trust that Kurt, Lisa and the volunteers truly cared for the animals and were doing their best for them.

We even did a meet and greet with our one dog. So far it has gone well at home. The Humane Society and their staff were wonderful especially shout out to Tyler. He was great in giving me all the information that I needed and asked for as well as the handling of the adoption. I have seen some people, dislike the fact that you do have to jump through some hoops to adopt. However, given that they want to make sure that these animals do not come back to the shelter and have a forever home as well as make sure that they are responsibly taken care of after they leave their care, I see why they do it. Even after the adoption my new dog came up with kennel cough they immediately had us come back to the shelter, came to meet us at the car in proper PPE and sent us home with medication which now has worked wonderfully and laddie is now feeling so much better and more like himself. I'm excited for our journey with our new family member and thank you so much Humane Society of Marion County.

This rescue imposes unnecessarily burdensome and discriminatory requirements on disabled and…read moreelderly adopters. After approving our application and after I personally spent over 30 minutes meeting the dogs, they insisted that my partially disabled wife travel a 2.5‑hour round trip so a medically untrained volunteer could "evaluate" whether she might fall on a dog. That person would then report their impressions to a committee for final approval. I am fully mobile and would be the primary caregiver for the dogs. My wife simply wanted companionship. No other rescue in our 20 years of adopting dogs has ever required this kind of intrusive and medically unqualified assessment, nor have they refused to offer reasonable accommodation such as a home visit. This process effectively penalizes disabled applicants and creates barriers that are unnecessary, inappropriate, and discriminatory in practice. For an adoption fee of $600, adopters deserve a respectful, professional, and accommodating process. Until they revise these policies or offer a reasonable alternative, this review stands. Apparently the concept of service or companion animals for the elderly or partially handicapped is beyond the capacity of this rescue. They will claim that they just want to protect the animal while providing unqualified and a harshly judgemental attitude toward the human client.

To be judge n jury to people who wanted to adopt an animal out of the shelter. We were very upset and still see it up for adoption. We have a awesome dog at home and she is trying to play with the cats. The cats don't want to play with her, since she is a lot bigger then them. We have a 1/2 acker yard for them to play in. My animals are spoiled, ask my friends. So, if you're going to be that way with people, maybe you should find a different job. So, if you're looking to adopt an animal, you should go to Hernando Sheriffs adoption center.
