OCALA FL (352Today) – As the humidity fades and the fall decorations brighten The Downtown Square, the change of season is in the air. With autumn’s arrival and the holiday season just around the corner, there’s no better time to make life merrier – by welcoming a new furry friend into your family.
Celebrate the fall season and adopt your new best friend for free with the October activities at the Humane Society of Marion County, and Marion County Animal Services September initiatives.

Meet Pig: A Shy Puppy Full of Love
Pig is a gentle six-month old pup at the Humane Society of Marion County who may be a little shy at first – but once he warms up, his big heart shines through. Pig’s playful nature comes out with his best friend “Dump Truck” who he met at HSMC. He’s great on a leash, car ride friendly, and waiting for his forever family.

Meet Chops: Energetic Brindle Ready for Adventures
Chops is an 8-year-old hound mix with striking brindle stripes and a heart of gold. Full of energy, curiosity, and playful spirit, he loves exploring, and squeaking toys. Already vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, Chops is ready to join an active home with pup pals, older kids, and plenty of space to roam.

Meet Dante: A Tennis Ball Loving Gentleman
Dante is a playful and affectionate 9-year-old boxer mix with endless love for tennis balls and back scratches. Despite being adopted twice, he’s kept his sweet spirit and hopes his third adoption will finally be the one that lasts. Dante is ready to bring joy and a bit of clumsy charm into a home where he can be cherished.

Meet Molly: Sweet & Spunky with Pumpkin Spice Vibes
Molly is an 8-year-old mixed breed with a gentle heart and a playful soul available now at Marion County Animal Services. Though her owner recently passed away, Molly’s warmth hasn’t faded. She’s great with people and dogs, though indifferent to cats. Molly is hoping for a forever home full of balance, a little adventure, a lot of relaxation, and plenty of love.
This fall, give the gift of forever home! Visit Pig and Dante today at the Humane Society of Marion County and meet Chops and Molly at Marion County Animal Services. Your new best friend is waiting – help them and so many others find the love they deserve this season.
