📢 Exciting News from the HSMC Clinic! 📢

Something BIG is on the way! 🎉 The HSMC Clinic is thrilled to announce that we will soon be expanding our services to include an online pharmacy! 🐾💊

We receive an overwhelming number of prescription requests, and this new service will make it easier than ever for you to get the medications your pets need—directly from us. Once the pharmacy is live, the clinic will no longer approve third-party pharmacy prescriptions (except for Chewy).

Why You’ll Love Our Online Pharmacy:
✅ Hassle-free ordering process.
✅ Competitive pricing on medications.
✅ Convenient home delivery options.

We understand this change may be an adjustment for some. To help, we’re offering the option to request a paper prescription for a $10 fee. These requests will have a quick 24-hour turnaround—no appointment is needed.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible while continuing to provide the best care for you and your furry family members. 🐶🐱

If you have any questions about this change or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the clinic at 352-873-8606 opt 2, or email [email protected]. Stay tuned for the official launch date of our online pharmacy—it's coming soon!

Dinkus can't wait to find his fur-ever home! He has been at the Humane Society for 1,592 days! Dinkus is 7 years old and weighs 60 pounds. This silly goofball was originally transferred to us on December 10th, 2019, from a local shelter. Dinkus would do best in a home with children over 12, no other animals, and a tall sturdy fence. Despite being picky, Dinkus is loving, smart, and funny! He can't wait to go home for the holidays!

12/13/2024

This holiday season, we are asking for support with essential items that provide the animals in our care with comfort and love while they wait for their forever homes. With your help, our wish of helping the homeless animals in our community is one step closer to being granted. Thank you for making sure every animal feels the magic of the season!

Cyclone has been waiting for his forever home for 627 days! Cyclone came to the Humane Society from a hoarding case in Broward County in early 2023. Cyclone was found living in a house with 60 other dogs in Dania Beach. The dogs were living in extreme, crowded conditions, and were severely under-socialized. The Humane Society of Marion County took in 15 of the dogs, and has worked continuously with patience, time, and training to help socialize them for Adoption. Cyclone's siblings have been Adopted, and he is still waiting for his fur-ever family!

Cyclone is almost 7 years old and weighs 50 pounds. Despite being out of the hoarding situation, he is still fearful and shy. Cyclone becomes less-anxious every day. He truly is very loving once you take the time to bond and get to know him. Cyclone's namesake came from his happy dance where he spins in circles. Our sweet boy, is good with cats and dogs. He has never known a good home and deserves to have one the second time around. He will need a family that is understanding of his circumstances and is willing to spend time working with him. If you want to be his hero please come meet him!
