pet adoption

Bring a new pet home with free adoptions and foster programs offered by Tampa Bay area shelters.

On Saturday, the 10th annual Clear the Shelters event held by the Largo nonprofit has more than 100 animals up for free adoption.

Whiskers Workspace opened last month and is available for rent by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. All the cats that live there are adoptable.

There are 600 pets there, which means all the kennels and cages in the Tampa building have a name tag – and a friendly face looking for a new home.

The shelter in Largo must reduce its animal population while underdoing major construction projects, which begin in mid-December.
