    A little over 2 years ago, we found our boy Will. He had some big shows to fill since our hearts were still hurting from losing our dog. But Will was perfect. He's a graduate of the FIDO project. If you don't know what that is look it up! He's so well behaved and so loving. And he LOVES other dogs! A little over a month ago, we contacted Wendy and her team because Will wanted a playmate. They immediately recommended Darlene (who we now call Grace - how could we not). They knew they would be a perfect match because they knew both personalities. Of the thousands of dogs they have known in 2 years and the hundreds of dogs they care for each day, they matched these two together and I was love at first sight. We thought it would be a few months before they were snuggling but it's only been a few weeks and they now hate being apart. We recommend MCAS and the FIDO project daily.

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.

As a president of a dog club & rescue worker with well established prison/state/county programs I've gotten multiple dogs fixed at different veterinary offices throughout my decades in the industry , but I've never had an experience this bad. The staff was unprofessional, rude, and disrespectful. The simple neutering process has turned into a bloody nightmare. We picked up our puppy after getting neutered yesterday and as soon as we got home, we noticed the scrotal hematoma. The dog should never have been cleared to go home in this condition. Immediately we send an email to which was responded today for us to take the dog back so that they can fix it. they admitted that it might be some sort of bleed. My question is who pays for the man hours, the gas, & the botched procedure at your location ?? Had proper care been given to the puppy I'm sure this whole experience would have been avoided. I will do my best to spread the word concerning the unprofessionalism behavior of your receptionist & blatant disregard for customer service. I am very unhappy and will notify my complete network, of dog shows throughout the whole country never to trust VOCAL !

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.
