Hillsborough Award Custody Of More Than 300 Dogs
A court order recently provided custody of the dogs to Hillsborough County and enjoins the owner of the business from ever possessing dogs. Animal Control brought the dogs to the Pet Resource Center (PRC) on 440 N. Falkenburg Rd. in Tampa, where they will be assessed and undergo any needed medical treatment.
The large influx of dogs creates stress at the PRC, which was already over capacity. State law requires the dogs be kept for at least 30 days in case of appeal, meaning PRC will hold the dogs for at least a month and none of the incoming dogs can immediately be adopted by the public nor be sent to rescue groups. The dogs are mostly small breeds like Maltese, Shih Tzus, terriers and schnauzers.
To help make room, PRC officials are appealing to the public to adopt dogs already at the shelter. All fees are immediately waived for all dogs. In addition, the shelter will take in dogs from the public only for emergencies for at least the next few days.
The PRC also is working with other animal shelters and rescue groups to help reduce the shelter’s current population of dogs. Monetary donations may be made through the Hillsborough County Pet Resources Foundation Inc. Please designate the donation for the aid of the more than 300 dogs.
The Pet Resource Center is open from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Dogs and cats can be viewed online at hillsboroughcounty.org (‘pet adoption’), but must be adopted in person at the shelter.
