Find Your New Best Friend for Just $8 – One-Day Adoption Event in Orange County!
Orange County, Fla — Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) will reduce adoption fees and extend shelter hours for one day to encourage more people to adopt pets. Most shelters around the state, including OCAS, are struggling with high numbers of dogs in their care.
On Friday, August 8, 2025, fees will be reduced to $8 for all animals. The shelter will open at 8 a.m. and stay open until 8 p.m., four hours longer than usual. The event will provide residents with an entire day to meet the shelter pets, interact with them, and potentially find a pet their forever home.
WHEN: Friday, August 8, 2025 – 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
WHERE: Orange County Animal Services, 2769 Conroy Road, Orlando, 32839
PHOTO/VIDEO OPPORTUNITIES: Interested journalists can venture into the kennels and get b-roll and pictures of the shelter pets. They can also take pets out, while accompanied by a volunteer or shelter staff, and play with them in one of the OCAS play yards
