Pinellas County residents will soon be able to adopt pets for free.
It's an effort to free up space at Pinellas County Animal Services as the Largo shelter begins a yearlong $3.5 million renovation beginning in mid-December.
The Penny for Pinellas-funded project will add air conditioning, strengthen the building to withstand a Category 4 hurricane and improve kennel space.
The construction will reduce shelter capacity by about two-thirds at the facility, 12450 Ulmerton Road.
Residents can also help by fostering an animal.
