Humane Society of North Central Florida

My family has adopted two senior dogs from The Humane Society of North Central Florida. Recently one of my seniors Bear has been seen in the walk in clinic and the staff from the second we walked in at the front desk to the care Dr. Elswick and her team provide is nothing short of amazing. I feel heard when I come to discuss my pet’s care and ailments. I never feel rushed or forced in a certain direction. I am extremely confident in the knowledge of the entire staff and I know they truly care about my pet and not just about the money which is a hard thing to find. Please trust these amazing people with the care of your pets.

They sold me a dog with cancer. They claimed he was neutered, when he just tried to screw another dog in front of me. They claimed he was 2 years younger when he’s older. They claimed he was heartworm free when he wasn’t. I had to take him back to the Humane Society for treatment because they cut corners and only gave him 2 shots instead of 3. It’s a good thing I did because all 3 shots is apparently $1,000. They did that free of cost after I gave them some strong words. From the moment I got him it’s been only issues. He had allergies that I had to spend $300 on an allergy test to figure out because he was covered in rashes. He had kennel cough and I had to then spend $200 on that. Literally the worst establishment ever. Waste of time and money. I love my pup but poor thing has been through everything because they did not give him comprehensive care before I adopted him. Do not adopt from here unless you want to spend thousands of dollars. I am now sitting in my car deciding if I should spend $600 every 3 weeks toward chemotherapy or put my dog down.

Amazing care of my elderly pup. They took the time to listen to all his ailments & we came up with good options. So glad I was able to go back with him in the exam room to have that conversation. Hoping they keep letting fur moms back with their babies. They were very patient with him even though he was very obstinate to the bordetella. I’m happy to say he is doing so much better now. Highly recommend them. Dr Elswick is awesome & caring!!

I have a 'last chance' dog that I have been fostering for 6 months and the Vet keeps coming up with excuses why they can't cut or trim her nails . I've had scratches from her so deep that I had to put a pressure bandage on to stop the bleeding . She has begun to chew off parts of her nails herself and yet they won't even take the time to drunmel her nails or effectively address any of her other medical issues.

I first found out about this place in December of 2020 after my daughter was killed, leaving behind 2 small children and a big dog. Someone got me in touch with a lady by the name of Chelsea who quickly became a huge mainstay in the kids’ lives as well as mine. She made arrangements to pick up Aries and assess him. She was able to find him a well deserved loving forever home. Thank you Chelsea. Since then I have donated lots of items to their their thrift store and have shopped there as well. The staff is awesome, so pleasant, smiles on their faces that make you feel like they are happy to be there and very happy you are there. The first person I met was Ron. Ron is a hard worker, full of endless energy and is always ready to help unload your car and does it with a smile and even a joke or two. He made me feel at ease dropping items off. This organization is a wonderful and very caring place. They work tirelessly to take good care of the animals they have in their care and even harder to find these precious animals loving forever homes. If you can find it in your heart to donate to them in some way, I would encourage you to do so. Call them and see what they need. It is so worthwhile and it will warm your heart to know you played a part in helping them to be able to continue doing the wonderful work they do. Thank you Chelsea and ALL of the staff!!! God bless you
