Paws in the park pet fund raising walk

It’s a little early but I thought I’d give everyone a heads up on this years 17th annual paws in the park fund raising pet walk in downtown Orlando! This year it will be held on February 12th, 2011 from 9:00 AM to noon.

Paws in the park fund raising pet walk benefits SPCA of central Florida, which does so much to help unwanted pets and find good homes for them, as well as many other pet services.

The event is held at Lake Eola park in downtown Orlando. Paws in the park fund raising pet walk is always a lot of fun, with many pet vendors to see and get lots of information from.

SPCA of central Florida

Established in 1937, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Central Florida Orlando is a non-profit charitable organization that promotes responsible human behavior toward animals. Some people refer to it as the humane society.

This animal welfare organization offers affordable medical services for pets, as well as a safe shelter for homeless animals. All funds raised by this humane society are used to help animals have a normal life in a loving environment.

The SPCA of Central Florida has a 100% adoption rate for those pets that are friendly and healthy. The organization has two shelters and two open door facility operated by volunteers. It is an open door facility, so there are no time limits on how long an animal will remain at the shelter while waiting for a living family to adopt them.
