SPCA TAMPA BAY
Our Mission
Through passionate collaboration with our community, we transform the lives of animals. We are dedicated to creating a community where every animal matters.
Our History and Purpose
For 85 years, we have served the Tampa Bay area as an independent, non-profit animal welfare agency. As the only open-admission For-All animal shelter in Pinellas County, we believe in standing with every family and every animal, regardless of their story.
How We Care
Our Largo shelter serves as a dedicated resource hub, providing compassionate care for over 8,000 animals annually, including dogs, cats, pocket pets, exotic animals, and livestock. Each animal receives professional medical care, immunizations, and enrichment in a safe environment without time limits on their stay. We also work to address the root causes of animal homelessness through community initiatives like our pet food banks and low-cost vaccine clinics.
The Adopter Connection
We believe that adoption is the start of a beautiful, lifelong partnership. Our dedicated adoptions team and volunteers work closely with you to match families with animals that are a perfect fit for your home, lifestyle, and personality. Because we see the individual spirit in every creature, our goal is to ensure each placement is built for long-term success and mutual happiness.
Find Your New Best Friend
Your perfect match may be waiting for you right now. We invite you to explore our adoptable animals online or visit our shelter in Largo to meet your newest family member in person. Together, we can continue to change lives, one adoption at a time.
