The unified goal is to place 2,000 homeless shelter pets into loving, forever homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando will offer the promotion for the first 24 days of the month, while Orange, Osceola and Seminole County animal shelters will offer the deal for the full month of December. A wide-range of ages, breeds and sizes of pets will be available across the participating shelters. The $12 adoption fee includes spay\/neuter, initial vaccinations and microchip identification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis promotion is a coordinated effort among Central Florida\u2019s largest pet shelters, which first began in 2011,\u201d said Dil Luther, manager of Orange County Animal Services. \u201cEach year, we continue to see the impressive adoption results soar higher and higher through this promotion. Last year, we had a total of 714 adoptions at Orange County Animal Services \u2026 and it\u2019s my hope this will be our best year yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is my wish that every adoptable shelter animal finds a forever home for the holidays,\u201d said Carole Coleman, administrator of Seminole County Animal Services. \u201cThe citizens of Central Florida have always shown their support for their local animal shelters and I hope families open their hearts and homes to help empty all the shelters before the New Year. We here at Seminole County Animal Services are very appreciative to be a participant in this annual event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so happy to be part of the \u2018Home for the Holidays\u2019 event again this year and hoping the community will open their hearts and homes to a pet in need,\u201d said Kim Staton, manager of Osceola County Animal Services. \u201cPets that are adopted can make the most loyal and loving companions \u2026 so if you have never adopted from a shelter, please consider doing so this holiday season. There is no better way to celebrate the spirit of giving than by giving a pet a new, forever home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPet Alliance is once again pleased to partner with OCAS in offering great opportunities for people to adopt a wonderful pet,\u201d said Stephen Bardy, executive director of the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orlando, Fla.\u2014November 28, 2018\u2014 To celebrate the holiday season and spread awareness for shelter pets throughout Central Florida, adoption fees for dogs and cats have been reduced to only $12 this December 2018.
