The announcement comes after 148 animals arrived at the shelter over the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have nearly 400 pets in our shelter and an additional 261 under our umbrella of care in foster homes throughout the Central Florida area,\u201d said Diane Summers, manager for Orange County Animal Services. \u201cEach and every time we\u2019ve reached out to our community for help, seeking adopters and additional foster homes, people have stepped up and we\u2019re hoping to see that again this time, we very much need support to help these precious pets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All animals available for adoption are listed on the shelter\u2019s website. If a pet is listed as \u201cready to go home,\u201d that means the pet has already been spayed or neutered, received the proper vaccinations, and has been microchipped. If a pet is not listed as \u201cready to go home,\u201d the shelter clinic staff will ensure the proper medical procedures are done to get the pet home in a timely manner. These medical procedures are of no cost to new pet parents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Residents can visit the shelter in person at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, September 3, 2025 \u2013 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.<br \/>\nThursday, September 4, 2025 \u2013 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.<br \/>\nFriday, September 5, 2025 \u2013 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Residents can learn more information about the animals available for adoption, or the shelter, by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocnetpets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ocnetpets.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adoption fees will be reduced to $10 Orange County, Fla \u2014 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS), a division of Orange County Government, today announced it will reduce adoption fees for cats and dogs to $10 starting Wednesday, September 3, 2025, through Friday, September 5, 2025.
