It’s time for ! This Sunday we want to highlight a very special boy, Hiccup! Hiccup and his sister Astrid came to us after being found as strays in Marion County. Upon arrival it was evident this sweet boy needed help. Radiographs showed his front right leg was broken and due to the placement of the break, needed to be amputated. Hiccup recovered from surgery beautifully and after healing, moved to our Petco adoption center. He didn’t have to wait long and we are happy to report Hiccup that has found his forever family!

This Valentine's Day, our shelter pups are asking for Kuranda Beds. Kuranda beds provide relief for joints and ensures that weight is evenly distributed on the beds. Kuranda beds, unlike typical dog beds, don't harbor allergens. By donating a Kuranda bed to a shelter, you are helping the homeless animals in our community live a comfortable life while in transition to their new forever home!

This is all about a true survivor, Olive. This one-year-old girl came to us as a stray after rescuers found her circling on the side of the road. After her arrival at the HSMC, our vet tech team determined she had most likely been hit by a car. Radiographs showed that her pelvis had been fractured in two separate places. Unfortunately, Olive was also positive for multiple internal parasites. After 3 months of healing, she is now ready to find her forever home. She is still wary of strangers, but with time and patience, she would be a wonderful companion.

Meet Ink, this sweet boy is almost 5 years old and has been at the Humane Society of Marion County for almost 2 years! Ink is a bit particular, he must be the only pet in the home, and he isn’t great with kids. Ink however is playful, fun, sweet, and very loving. This cutie is looking for a home where he can run, play, and snuggle up for scratches and pets!

Our Story

The Humane Society of Marion County is a non-profit no-kill shelter dedicated to the care and protection of animals in Marion County, Florida. We have been serving homeless and neglected animals in Ocala and Marion County for over 40 years. We’ve come a long way since our humble beginnings in 1964 with a couple of foster homes and a few good people with a burden to care for these helpless creatures. The first facility, built in 1979 was located about 15 miles west of Ocala off Hwy 200 in the black jack woods where very few people lived. Today, this area is very heavily populated and continues to grow. Shown below is a picture of the first facility, taken shortly after the facility opened.

Our Shelter is home to many cats and dogs. We employ an application process to screen our potential adopters. This process is to ensure that the adopter and the adoptee are compatible and that both animal and humans have the best opportunity for a successful relationship.

Our Shelter receives many kittens and puppies that are just too young to thrive in a shelter environment and need the tender loving care of human attention to give them a good start. Some of these young ones come in with mama and litter mates, some are found abandoned and all alone. We take care of all medical care for these fosters. All you need to do is provide a warm, safe home with lots of kibble and hugs until they are old enough to be adopted.
