Humane Society of Tampa Bay
About Our Shelter
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is dedicated to the welfare of all animals because of their intrinsic value and rights. Its primary purposes are the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, the extension of humane education and the provision of shelter-based services.

Services
No Kill for Space Program
In January 2004 we changed our program to one of No Kill for Space, to help stop the needless euthanizing of adoptables animals in the Tampa Bay area. We now take owned adoptable dogs and cats by appointment only. We will no longer euthanize a dog or cat to make room for another one.

Pet Adoption Program
We try to provide friendly, healthy companion animals to responsible and prepared pet owners. To view our pets for adoption, click here.

Spaying & Neutering
Spaying and neutering is provided for all animals prior to adoption. We will not contribute to the pet overpopulation.

Lost & Found
We maintain a lost and found pet file. By maintaining a "Lost & Found" pet file, pet reports are checked daily to reunite families with their pets.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
