SPCA opens ‘foster-to-adopt’ program for dogs

December 21, 2022 - SPCA Tampa Bay recently launched a pilot dog adoption program to assist its partners at Pinellas County Animal Services (PCAS) as they address an outbreak of canine pneumovirus. According to the Dec. 15 announcement, SPCA’s Largo shelter has over 40 dogs available for adoption, and officials hope to get as many as possible into homes by the end of December. The program allows families to take a dog home for up to 30 days before completing the adoption. PCAS temporarily paused intakes and adoptions, and the SPCA hopes to expand its capacity through the program. Interested families must register at the SPCA Tampa Bay shelter at 9099 130th Ave. N, in Largo. They will receive food and supplies for the dog and medication if the pet contracts the upper respiratory virus. For more information, visit the website here.
