Through the month of December OCAS will waive adoption fees for pets seven years and older.

In addition, the shelter will provide a complimentary Kuranda bed with each senior dog adoption.

“Senior pets tend to get ‘stuck’ here with little interest from potential adopters,” said Diane Summers, Manager for Orange County Animal Services. “We want to help them find a home, and ensure they are comfortable by giving them a free bed.”

OCAS is also celebrating select senior pets by creating an ornament in their honor that will be displayed on a Christmas tree in the lobby and also gifted to the adopter once the pet is matched with a new home.

Skipper (shown below), who’s been with OCAS since June of this year, will be highlighted pet on Saturday, Dec. 14. 2024 for “Skipper Saturday” where he will be in one of the shelter’s yards and get a chance to interact with potential adopters.
