Finding a dealership you can trust isn’t just about the cars on the lot; it’s about shared values. Operating on West Colonial Drive means being a reliable neighbor. We believe that supporting local animal welfare makes Orlando a better place for all of us—two-legged and four-legged alike. Whether you are a lifelong resident or new to Central Florida, understanding how local businesses invest back into the community can help you make informed decisions about where you choose to shop.
A Legacy of Giving Back to Central Florida
Reed Nissan has been a family-owned fixture in the Orlando area for over 75 years. We know that doing business on West Colonial Drive comes with a responsibility to the community that supports us. Our commitment goes beyond selling and servicing vehicles; it’s about being a reliable, values-driven neighbor.
Over the decades, Reed Nissan community involvement has taken many forms, from supporting local schools to sponsoring regional events. These grassroots initiatives laid the groundwork for our current focus: protecting the vulnerable animals right here in Central Florida. We believe that a strong community looks out for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Championing Animal Welfare in Our Backyard
The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando does incredible work sheltering, rescuing, and advocating for dogs and cats across the region. Their mission aligns perfectly with our family-first philosophy, which is why we are thrilled to be one of the active Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando partners.
Through sponsorships, awareness campaigns, and community events, we aim to provide a stronger safety net for local animals in need. When local businesses and non-profits team up, the impact multiplies. It helps more pets find their forever homes and ensures that local shelters have the vital resources they need to operate effectively year-round.
Keeping Your Furry Copilots Safe on the Road
Living in Central Florida means dealing with intense heat and humidity, which poses a severe danger to pets left in vehicles. Temperatures inside a parked car can become fatal in just minutes, even with the windows cracked. Beyond the golden rule of never leaving your pet unattended, safe travel means utilizing proper harnessing and ensuring adequate airflow while driving.
Spacious SUVs like the Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder are ideal for pet owners, offering ample cargo space and dedicated rear AC vents to keep your dogs cool. If you are searching for a reliable vehicle, prioritizing climate control and easy-clean interiors will make every trip to the local dog park much more enjoyable.
Preparing Pets for Severe Weather and Evacuations
Hurricane and severe thunderstorm seasons are a reality of life in Orlando. When a storm approaches, having an evacuation plan that includes your pets is critical. We recommend keeping a pet-specific ‘go-bag’ in your vehicle during storm season. This should include a week’s supply of food, bottled water, medications, sturdy leashes, and a travel carrier.
Just as importantly, ensuring your vehicle is serviced and ready for sudden evacuations is a must. A quick check of your tires, battery, and fluids at our service center can prevent a dangerous breakdown when you and your pets need to get out of town safely.
Ways to Get Involved and Make a Difference
You don’t have to be a large business to make a meaningful impact. There are countless ways to support The Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, from fostering and adopting to donating essential supplies like pet food and blankets.
We encourage our customers to keep an eye out for upcoming joint events between Reed Nissan and The Pet Alliance. Whether you are looking to upgrade your family SUV or hoping to welcome a new furry family member into your home, community support matters. Together, we can make Central Florida a safer, happier place for every animal.
