New Tampa Adoptable Pets Of The Week: Troy, Stormy, Zeus &Amp; Tigger & More
Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, shelters in New Tampa and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
Across Florida, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located not too far from you. In the search for a new friend, consider starting at a local shelter like Cat Haven Rescue Inc, where Dag the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Troy, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
