Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando enters the holiday season making the announcement of the architect and construction firm for their new shelter in Orlando. Borrelli + Partners will undertake the design of their new home and construction of the space will be carried out by H.J. High. The new facility will be located at 4311 & 4319 South John Young Parkway, Orlando, FL 32819. The space will house the organization’s Orlando shelter, volunteer programs and the business office. The expected completion date is September 2023.
Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is undertaking a capital campaign to raise $14 million to cover the design, construction and all associated costs related to the new facility.
Pet Alliance is opening a temporary facility in Downtown Orlando at 777 West Central Boulevard that will serve as a space to house adoptable cats and serve as an offsite adoption location for dogs on the weekends. The temporary space will also serve as a shelter medical facility and office for Pet Alliance’s foster program. The space is expected to open in early 2022.
All of the dogs in Pet Alliance’s care are currently sheltered at the Sanford facility located at 2800 County Home Road in Sanford.
“We are excited to be moving forward with the new facility and working with Robert and Jorge and the entire team,” says Executive Director Steve Bardy. “Our timeline has moved up a bit due to the fire at the Orlando shelter in September, but we were fortunate to be so far along in the selection process. We are ready to rebuild!”
