Orange County Animal Services hosting St. Patrick’s Day Adoption Event

There is more than 200 shelter pets available, each hoping this will be their lucky day.

Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) is hosting a St. Patrick’s Day adoption event on Sunday, March 17, 2024. The shelter will be extending the adoption hours to 7 p.m. and reducing all pet adoption fees to $17 for the day.

“We’ve been watching so many wonderful dogs sit here for weeks or months unnoticed. We know they would be a lucky charm for the right family. So, we invite people to wear green and come to our shelter,” said Diane Summers, manager for Orange County Animal Services.

Lincoln (A538798) is one such dog. The 5-year-old dog arrived at the shelter on December 18, 2023 and has been overlooked since, despite his friendly demeanor. One might say he is a “clover” not a fighter!

Animal Services is inviting the public to visit the shelter at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando on the event day between 10 a.m. through 7 p.m. More than 60 dogs and cats are designated as “ready to go home” on event day and the staff is hoping the luck of the Irish will be with these wonderful animals. Currently, the shelter is caring for over three hundred animals.

Available pets can be viewed on the shelter’s website, along with information on the adoption process.
