I had a great experience today adopting a male cat. it didn't take long after I picked the cat I liked before I was doing adoption papers. you go in tell them if your there for a cat or a dog and they help you with the rest. they have a cat book up front you can look through, you pick a few you want to meet and fill out a form and off you go. if you have a spouse they also have to do a meet and greet and show ID. I'm sure if you have other animals the process might be a little different. I payed $25 for the adoption fee and $5 for a carry box to take my new baby home. staff were great, polite and helpful. they will answer any questions you have and make sure you find the right pick for you.
When we decided to adopt a dog we had one in mind for the visit. Fantasia was our counselor and a great one at that! After the visit with our initial pick unfortunately he wasn’t a good fit and Fantasia brought in another dog. It was love at first sight with a big ole greeting kiss. After discussing our desires and his personality we pretty much knew he was the one. Yet we took a couple days to make sure and to purchase the needed items for him. They are thorough here with the adoption process and rightly so, these dogs have had a rough start in life. They need responsible owners who are looking out for the best possible scenario for them and their future owners. They know what they’re talking about and care about the animals, so we need to take heed as it’s an adjustment for all. The bottom line is we had the best experience and in our opinion brought home the best dog!! He’s adjusting well and we couldn’t be happier, our family is complete now🤗 Thank you Marion County for truly loving these animals! The Flinks
The staff were so sweet and helpful. They really love the dogs. There are so many people just buzzing around working either directly with the animals or the humans looking to adopt like us. It runs like a well oiled machine and it is all to benefit the animals. The dedication there is beyond compare. We adopted Jazz today. She is currently snoring on her new pad in our living room room taking her first well deserved nap. She is beyond sweet and rode in my lap on the whole way home. She was not remotely stressed. Coming directly from the shelter, that is pretty impressive. That speaks volumes for the staff there and the care they take. Fabulous place to adopt. Such a wonderful experience. Update on Lucy (formerly Jazz) It has been eight months since we adopted our little wriggler (her latest in a long line of nicknames). She is an amazing dog. She has matured so much and learned a ton. She has so much confidence now and is a true lover of life. It is hard to believe that our perfect little girl was ever given up, but we are so glad she is apart of our life now. We couldn't imagine life without her.
My husband and I adopted Luna at the beginning of January. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and helpful. We could see they care very much for all the animals they have. Our adoption counselor, Fantasheia, was amazing and so patient with us. Luna is doing great at home, and it's only been a few weeks. I would recommend anyone looking to adopt a new family member to consider visiting Humane Society of Marion County.
Took my dog there to have his teeth cleaned and a cracked tooth removed. The veterinarian and staff were excellent. The cost was a third of what my vet was going to charge me. My dog, he did great!
The staff was friendly and patient, they got very busy but handled everything well and helped me find my new fur baby. 😍 so happy and was able to take her home the same day
