\"\"Orange County, FL<\/strong> \u2013 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) is celebrating the Summer Olympics and Back-To-School with two adoption promotions for the month of August – \u201cGold Medal Favorites\u201d and \u201cTeacher\u2019s Pet.\u201d The announcement comes as OCAS continues to deal with a large number of animals in care and needs residents to step forward to adopt or foster a homeless pet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been many times this summer when we\u2019ve had a concerningly high number of animals under our umbrella of care, sometimes up to 700,\u201d said Diane Summers, Manager of Orange County Animal Services. \u201cEvery time we turn to our community for help, people deliver. We\u2019re again asking for help and want to share a word of thanks to everyone who has supported us during this period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pets who have been in the shelter\u2019s care for four weeks or longer will qualify as a \u201cGold Medal Favorite,\u201d and earn a gold sticker on their kennel card. These pets will have a reduced adoption fee of $10.<\/p>\n

OCAS will also celebrate the people who dedicate their careers to our local schools and children with the \u201cTeacher\u2019s Pet\u201d promotion. The shelter will waive adoption fees for any school district employee (with proper school district identification) who decides to adopt a pet.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch like animal welfare workers, teachers and school staff are unsung heroes,\u201d said Summers. \u201cThese individuals do so much to better our community through their work with children and we\u2019re offering this promotion as a way to show our appreciation, and to hopefully match many of our homeless pets with loving families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each adopted pet is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before going to their new home. Anyone interested in becoming a foster parent, or adopting, can find more information about the shelter at www.orangecountyanimalservicesfl.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
