Post-Ian, Humane Society of Tampa needs your help in adopting a new family member today

Hurricane Ian has left too many animals without homes and the shelter needs your help in adopting those adorable critters.

“If we can’t move them out, we can’t move more animals in, and there is an endless supply of animals in need.” said Sherry Silk, Humane Society Tampa chief executive officer.

We are in a crisis and completely full therefore will not be able to accept any strays or owner surrender dogs until further notice. But you can help! HSTB is waiving adoption fees starting Tuesday, October 4th through Friday, October 7th for all dogs 30 pounds or larger.

Without the means to take care of their pets many people turn to organizations like the Humane Society of Tampa to give them up. Unfortunately, the humane society is now completely full and having to turn animals away. The shelter is over its 350 max capacity currently with 450 animals.

Adopt an animal today by visiting the Humane Society shelter located in Tampa or visit their website to learn more.
