Be Your Own Hero Inc's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Three Easy Steps.
1. Fill out an adoption application
2. Schedule meet and greet/home check
3. Pay an adoption fee
$40 cat adoption fee is the general adoption fee which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip.
$50 dog adoption fee is the general adoption fee which includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip and heartworm test.

We do not approve declawing and therefore will not adopt a cat out to anyone who approves of such cruel and unneeded practices. Same goes for ear clipping.

About Be Your Own Hero Inc

Be Your Own Hero Inc is an official 501c3 No-Kill Animal Rescue Organization.
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals from all walks of life. Our rescue provides all medical, nutritional, behavioral, and emotional care and support needed for each animal we rescue. Our foster home-based program allows us to provide our rescue animals with a loving home-like environment until they are carefully matched with the perfect adopter. As veterinary medical professionals, we believe that nutrition plays a detrimental role in the health of an animal, therefore we are one of the few rescues who uses only high quality pet food for our rescue furries. We have zero tolerance for discrimination and value all life, regardless of age, behavioral issues, breed or disabilities.



Florida law requires that all charities soliciting donations disclose their registration number and the percentage of your donation that goes to the cause and the amount that goes to the solicitor. Our registration number is CH39909 and non-program expenses are funded from our own income, so 100% of your donations are tax-deductible and go directly towards the care of our rescued animals. We are a 501 c 3 charity as determined by the IRS.

We believe that all life is sacred and every sentient being deserves a chance to LIVE.
Our mission is to give them that chance.

Be Your Own Hero Inc's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Tampa, FL.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

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.
