Orlando Humane Society/SPCA of Central Florida

The SPCA of Central Florida has been serving the community since 1937. In that time, the agency has received more than 1,300,000 companion animals from people who are unable or unwilling to continue to care for them....a difficult job perhaps made more difficult by the burdens that must be handled by a small and dedicated group of staff members. Central Florida can be proud of the work done everyday by the agency's staff and volunteers. I know I am.

Pros: a worthy mission, handled by caring people

Cons: too often, too much is often expected by the community

I'm a longtime supporter of the SPCA of Central FL and I appreciate their hard work so much. Just looking now at my sweet, snoozing cat who I adopted from there last year. They take such great care of the cats and dogs who are placed in their care. No, a shelter is never as good as a home, but this place, and the Sanford branch too, are bright and cheerful, clean and loving places. The cats and dogs have well kept cages and kennels, and large play areas. There are even these cool climbing trees and big play tubes for the cats, and the dogs have really nice exercise areas. The staff and volunteers work so hard and with such commitment to the animals. It's not an easy job but you know they do it because they love it and wouldn't do anything else. They really make a difference. I love the SPCA vets and techs, too, and trust them very much. They've been there for me and my animals many times over the years. Can't say enough great things about the SPCA except to tell them - Thank you!

Pros: Animal care, customer service, cleanliness

Cons: None
