Visitors are urged to spin for reduced adoption fees during the April 13, 2024, event.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"OrangeOrange County, FL<\/strong> \u2013 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) announced it will host a \u201cWheel of Furtune\u201d adoption event on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Guests will be invited to spin a large wheel, which features a dozen adoptable dogs, specially selected by staff. Once the wheel lands on a particular dog, the guest will have the opportunity to meet that pet and, if they choose to adopt it, they can do so for the reduced rate of $13.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve really challenged ourselves to hold creative events every few weeks to keep people interested and coming to the shelter,\u201d said Diane Summers, Manager for Orange County Animal Services. \u201cThis year we\u2019ve held a dog\u2019s birthday party, a speed dating event, and a St. Patrick\u2019s Day adopt-a-thon. Those events sparked interest and awareness for our homeless shelter pets and so we\u2019re gambling that this event will be just as successful by finding homes for several of our featured dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thor (A540334)<\/a><\/u> is one of the lucky dogs featured on the wheel. He\u2019s been at the shelter since January of this year. Thor has been featured on the shelter\u2019s social media platforms multiple times throughout this stay. A recent reel of him enjoying an outing with staff on a Starbucks pup-cup run garnered nearly 350,000 views, but still no takers for a new home. A volunteer recently described Thor by saying, \u201cThis is a great dog. Very sweet and chill, with a great disposition. Loves treats, loves attention and getting petted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are amazing dogs here, like Thor, who have gone unnoticed for weeks or even months,\u201d said Summers. \u201cIn planning this event we carefully selected those dogs, who are great adoption candidates, who just need an extra push.\u201d<\/p>\n

To spin the \u201cWheel of Furtune,\u201d Animal Services invites the public to visit the shelter at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando on April 13 between 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. Available pets can be viewed on the shelter\u2019s website<\/a>, along with information on the adoption process<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
