PINELLAS COUNTY — SPCA Tampa Bay is beginning a new initiative to provide pet owners with resources to help care for their animals.
This is to help pet owners who are experiencing financial hardship so they can keep their pets. They can access pet food banks, vaccine centers and grooming clinics.
"It is becoming more and more expensive to take care of pets in Florida. Families can come to any of these locations to get pet food from us.”
For Food:
Pebbles Pet Food Bank
2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Tuesdays
Pasadena Pet Food Bank
9:30 a.m. -11:30 a.m.
Every second and fourth Thursday of the month
Paul Balle Memorial Pet Food Bank
12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
First and second Tuesday of the month
A complete list of locations for clinics, food, and vaccines can be found at spcatampabay.org.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
