32 patriotic pups who’d love to celebrate their independence from the animal shelter with you

Check out the latest group of dogs and cats looking for homes at Orange County Animal Services (2769 Conroy Road, 407-396-3111, ocnetpets.com). The shelter is full (shelter management has reported a 74 percent increase in the number of animals being surrendered to the shelter by their owners this summer), so if you’re thinking of adopting a dog, don’t delay! Adoption costs $55, and all dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on shots before they go home. The shelter has been very full this spring – if you’re thinking about adopting, now’s the time to visit OCAS.
