Animal Intakes Currently Limited

Beginning Monday, October 5, Orange County Animal Services will temporarily limit stray animal intake for approximately one week due to construction near the shelter’s receiving area. During this time, OCAS will only accept stray pets with urgent medical needs or concerning behavior. Residents who find healthy, friendly stray pets are asked to help reunite them with their owners or care for them temporarily until normal intake resumes.

Adoptions and other shelter services will continue during regular business hours. Thank you for your patience as we work through this important phase of new shelter construction.

  • Donate an item from OCAS’s Amazon Wishlist

Donations of supplies/items can be dropped off at anytime the shelter is open to the public. Animal Services sincerely thanks all donors!

Projects Funded by Donations

*Animal Services cannot earmark monetary donations for specific animals. Monetary donations are placed in a Trust Fund that is utilized to fund special projects that benefit both shelter and community pets. Projects funded by donations include:

  • The "Spay it Forward" spay/neuter program, which provides FREE spay/neuter to qualifying low-income residents at partnered clinics, including the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, Snip It and Spay N Save.
  • The heartworm disease treatment program, which covers the treatment costs for shelter dogs with this condition and reduces a barrier that may hinder them from being selected for adoption.
  • Small grants to the registered rescue partners to reimburse them for certain expenses, like veterinary costs, following the rescue of a shelter pet.
