About Pet Alliance
Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is recognized as Central Florida’s oldest and largest animal welfare organization. The organization provides individualized care for each pet in its shelters, ensuring that every animal receives the attention and nurturing it needs, no matter how long the adoption process takes. With a commitment to the welfare of animals, Pet Alliance actively engages the community in initiatives to increase awareness, promote adoption, and enhance the overall well-being of stray and abandoned pets.
Last year, due to the outpouring of community support during the Furball Gala, Pet Alliance was able to increase its outreach and the number of animals rescued compared to previous years. Their ongoing efforts include not only direct rescue but also education and advocacy to encourage responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering.
