In addition to facilitating pet adoption, the upgraded online kennel provides insights into the PRC’s operations, including shelter statistics and reports on pets entering the facility and their outcomes. This transparency aims to enhance community engagement and understanding.
Residents can easily begin their search for a pet from home, whether they are seeking an energetic dog, an enthusiastic kitten, or a more seasoned companion. Those interested in adopting can visit the online kennel at https://app-test.hillsboroughcounty.org/adopt/ or the PRC location at 440 N. Falkenburg Rd., Tampa, to meet potential pets in person.
The Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center is the county’s only open-admission animal shelter, providing care for thousands of animals each year. The center promotes responsible pet ownership through various programs, including adoptions, low-cost spay/neuter services, vaccinations, and microchipping. All adoptions are conducted on a first-come, first-served basis and must be finalized in person.
Additionally, the PRC collaborates with local rescues and volunteers to help pets find safe homes while working to reduce shelter intake through community outreach and lifesaving programs. For more information about the center, visit https://hcfl.gov/departments/pet-resources.
