🍫🐾 Happy World Chocolate Day! 🐾🍫
While you enjoy your sweet treats today, remember that chocolate is toxic to pets—especially dogs! Even small amounts can cause serious health issues. Keep all goodies out of paw’s reach, and celebrate safely.
Need a chocolate fix without the danger?
🍫 Come visit our adoptable "chocolate-colored" cuties—from rich cocoa to sweet mocha coats, we’ve got some adorable pets that are just as sweet (and 100% safe to cuddle)! www.thehsmc.org/adopt
🐶🐱 Adopting love > eating chocolate (but we support both 😄)

🐾 Team Member Spotlight: Taylor! 🐾
Here at the Humane Society of Marion County, we’re lucky to have an incredible team — and we love shining a light on the amazing people who make our mission possible. This month, we’re thrilled to highlight our superstar ISO Kennel Tech, Taylor! ✨
Taylor's passion for animals started early, and she’s always had a heart for those in need. She joined the HSMC family at just 15 years old as a volunteer, and her dedication and compassion quickly made her an irreplaceable part of our team. 🐶❤️
Now a staff member, Taylor brings so much heart and energy to our kennels. She knows every pup's quirks and favorite treats, builds strong bonds with the animals and her team, and never hesitates to jump in when help is needed.
As if that wasn’t enough, Taylor recently launched Food Truck Fridays — bringing delicious local eats right to our parking lot for staff and visitors to enjoy! 🌮🍔🚚
We’re beyond grateful for everything Taylor does. Thank you for being such a bright light at HSMC! 💙

🌟 #SurvivorSunday: Rubis the Resilient 🌟
Meet Rubis, a brave and beautiful survivor with a heart full of strength and a story that inspires. 💛 This incredible young cat has faced more in his short life than most will ever know—and through it all, he’s never stopped fighting.
When Rubis first came into our care, he weighed just 1.5 pounds and was battling a storm of health issues: hookworms, tapeworms, coccidia, lung flukes, chronic congestion, and dangerously high fevers. Despite it all, he held on with quiet determination. 💪
He was started on round after round of medication, given nebulizer treatments twice a day, and surrounded by love from our dedicated team. But when his symptoms continued, we turned to our trusted friends at Brick City Cat Hospital. On June 11th, Rubis was sent for further diagnostics. Thanks to their expert care (and his incredible willpower), Rubis made a strong and steady recovery. 🏥💙
From less than 2 lbs to over 9 lbs, Rubis has transformed before our eyes into a healthy, handsome cat. He’s recently moved into the Feline Adult Room and is officially available for adoption! 🎉
Rubis is calm, wise, and full of love—grateful for every gentle touch and soft place to rest. After months of hospital stays and healing, he’s finally ready to find his forever family. 💚
If you're looking for a companion who’s brave, resilient, and quietly wonderful—Rubis is your guy. 🐾
Come meet him today and be a part of his incredible journey.
