Community Involvement/Programs

SafeHouse of Seminole County

Pet Paradise has teamed up with SafeHouse of Seminole County to provide free temporary boarding services to family pets affected by domestic violence situations. Often times, women affected by domestic violence do not leave their abuser for fear of retaliation on their beloved companion animals. This partnership is a way to provide a safe haven not only for them, but for their pets as well. More information, please read: Pet Paradise SafeHouse Press Release

Community Hospice of NorthEast Flordia

Each year, Pet Paradise sponsors the Community Hospice's pet therapy program and the calendar. This calendar raises awareness and funding for the pet therapy program and allows people to understand the important role that these pets serve, making a significant difference in the lives of the patients at the Community Hospice.

Annual Pet Food Drive

Each Fall, Pet Paradise teams up with many local pet food banks/rescue groups to collect pet food! This pet food not only directly helps rescue groups in need, but has also provided pet food directly to struggling pet owners allowing them to keep their pets. Each year, our food drive gets bigger and better! We have collected over 36,000 pounds of pet food in the last 3 years!!!

Military Foster Program

We are proud to support military families and their pets by teaming teaming up with Pedigree® Brand, Winn-Dixie Stores and local rescue groups in the Foster Military Pets program. The Foster Military Pets program provides foster homes for the pets of deployed service members. Pet Paradise participates in the program by providing boarding services for those pets while the foster families are on vacation or away on business. You can learn more about this great program at fostermilitarypets.com.

Pet Hair Collection, Gulf Oil Spill

In response to the devastating Gulf Oil Spill in 2010, Pet Paradise collected and shipping pet hair from all 13 locations to an organization called Matter of Trust. The hairs, along with used nylon stockings, were made into booms which help soak up spilled oil. It is estimated that one pound of dog hair can soak up one quart of oil in one minute.
