I could share my entire story about the half dead looking dumpster kitty I called Animal Control on... But I would rather tell you about how this amazing place helped me get proper vet care and save the life of a sweet kitten we just adopted. Because she was a stray rescue, she was completely vetted free of charge! She is sick and going to need extra care, weekly vet checks and daily medicine for her first few weeks. But ALL of that was provided to me free of charge. They also gave me food, carrier and even a pop-up cage that will allow her plenty of space while she is quarantined. They will spay and microchip her when she is old enough. The facility is beautiful and clean. Its very inviting. The staff is AMAZING and SUPPORTIVE. I called to report a kitten in the dumpster that I just didnt want to see die, and thanks to Animal Control and Pet Resource Center, I am fostering to adopt a beautiful baby girl kitten.. so incredibly GRATEFUL!
My fiancé adopted this beautiful baby, the staff is excellent looking to make the perfect match for every potential adopter. This shelter provides everything needed to make the future of their animals the very best. Juan is a great staff member he really knows how to handle everything related to the animals. Rafael is such a good resource, he will do anything to help you find the perfect pet. Please ask for them, they are great. Thank You!
Wasn’t sure what to expect walking up, we didn’t have an appointment but they got us right in and treated us so well the entire time. They answered all of our questions and thankfully suggested our baby we ended up taking home. We were blessed to find the sweetest guy ever here. I prefer the way things are being done versus before COVID, this way I can meet a few animals im interested in and not have to feel so bad about all of the babies I’m passing and not taking home with me. Thank you guys so much for helping us find our perfect match!
Its a great place! They are really helping the pets. They have a great selection of very affectionate kittens and cats that need a home. And doggies too! This is the go to place for your next pet 🐕
Understand the safe of all employees and people UE to COVID-19, but is hard to set an appointment for adoption
Wow!! Very nice! Super clean!The staff is Awesome! We had an appointment, were greeted right away and within 5-10. mins. We had our first meet and greet. Go back tomorrow for our pups approval, as long as that goes well 😁 They will have one less mouth to feed! You can tell that the people really care!! The place is bright, cleanAnd beautiful with a Friendly caring staff!Make everyones day!! ADOPT AN ANIMAL TODAY!
Ive gotten 3 fur babies from here. 2 of which are mine and the 3rd I was able to rehome. I got my cat Tigger here during a free adoption event when he was 2 months old and then I got my dog Nova here when she was found with 8 other siblings in a box on the side of the road at 2 months old as well. I got Omega from here when she was a year old and a pregnant stray hiding under a car for some shade. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the animals you adopt come spayed/neutered and vaccinated as well.
I found 2 baby kittens that were under someones car and was able to find the owners of the car. They were able to pull the little kittens out and i kept them over night caring for them. They next morning i set up an appointment to take the kittens to the shelter were they can get the help they needed because they were only 2 weeks old and was unable to eat on there own. I feel in love with the 2 kittens and wish i would of been able to keep them. So i finally took them to the shelter and the staff were very helpful and i explained to them how i found and recused the little kittens and the staff were understanding and very helpful and took them inn and im very grateful that now the little kittens will get a chance to be cared for and soon adopted to a very good and loving home.All though i still think of them and miss them very much i know i did the right thing for them im glad i was there to have found them and bring them justice.
Its a good place but charge way to much to release a dog completely vetted to go to a good home.
Love this place! What an awesome facility. Easy to access. What a great staff. Please go visit if you love animals. Adopt dogs or cats. Support this place every chance you get. Great environment and surely you will find a great new pet.
I had a very good experience and even though I wasnt ready to adopt I was still allowed to visit with two dogs that stole my heart. Please anyone who sees this choose adoption vs buying from a pet store. Those cute puppies most likely came from a puppy mill.
Terrible service not like it used to be. How do they expect you to get a good feeling about an animal that you may adopt if you cant see them in their environment. The computer is going to ruin the good work they are trying to do. Good luck
We adopted a little boy terrier that has heart worms. We knew that from the start. Ive been to PRC every day this week with concerns. The staff there A-NO.1. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I know that with their help, together we will get this little guy well. Thanks to all the staff for their support!!!
I adopted a cat from here named Ollie and I had such a positive experience. Everyone is so friendly and helpful especially to someone like me whos never owned any type of pet other than a fish. They gave me great advice as well as informed about how to make my him comfortable in his new environment. At my visit pet adoptions were free at the time which included all vaccines and microchipping. If youre someone whos interested in adopting a new fur baby I highly recommend this place.
Back at the end of January, my boyfriend and I adopted this wonderful pup named Riley. When we got there they informed us of his behavioral issues and we knew he would be a challenge but he has come very far already! I’m so happy to have this goofy dog in my life and to be able to give him his furever home! He also loves the water and gets to go to the beach almost every weekend!
Great options for vouchers to get your pet fixed where its affordable
Dropped off a cat I rescued off the side of i-4, and its nice to know whether or not they find this sweethearts family (she turned out to have a microchip), shell be well taken care of and find a good home because of this shelter 💜Service was fast, the staff is always super nice, and you get to see cute animals whenever you stop by. Whats not to love?
These people are doing a great job! I went there as a walk-in, which normally could mean a long wait, but I was very fortune. I was helped very promptly, while I expected a long wait. 👍🏾👍🏾
Found this little guy in Seffner/Brandon area and tried to find a place for him and I spoke to a representative that told me he was going to connect me to someone to set an appointment was then put on hold for over 30 minutes! I hung up and then called back to speak to another representative only to find out they’re closed for the day!
I made an appointment with The Pet Resource Center in November. We fell in love with a rotweiller mix name Chloe. We went in on 11-06-20 and we were greeted by the officer. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The center was clean and the pets were all well taken care of. Chloe was spayed, microchipped, had her shots and the adoption fees were waived due to COVID. Please go and adopt a pet there are so many that need homes.
Such nice staff. Clean and wonderful animal condos with some really pretty kitties!!
I literally spoke to someone on the phone the day before and they said I can just walk in to look at cats. I drove an hour this morning to the center and they tell me a I need an appointment. I called to see if I can get one and there’s none available and they said they can’t help me. First and last time here. Go with the humane society.
One of the best website,and the prices reflect how committed they are to get pets homes thus reducing the need to put them down.
We’ve adopted a mixed breed boxer recently [Papuya] now Una has been nothing but amazing we love her so much an very appreciative of autumn for making the process much easier so cause no problem an very glad we’ve chose her to be apart of this family thank you guys so much
Facility was short staffed and they still were speedy and friendly. Despite many cats in the main room for adoption, it was cleanly and smelled clean. Bring your mask as staff stands outside to screen visitors before unlocking the door to let you in.
This was the worst experience of my life I took my 1 month old kitten in for them to help me find a home because I wasnt able to keep her per my land ladies request. I had an appointment for 4 and was informed that I would receive a call letting me know when I could bring her in, and there was no call placed. I decided to take her up there anyway and finally got someone to help me. Jason said I was late and because it was the end of the day and they probably couldn’t find a rescue for her that night they probably would have to put her to sleep. After arguing with Jason who had a attitude from the beginning. finally a young lady came in and said that one of the staff member was doing foster care for the night and they would find her a rescue the following day. For a person in which this was my first time ever rescuing an animal it hurt really bad to know that she would be murdered all because I couldn’t keep her anymore this was the one of my worst experiences ever and I would not recommend them at all…
I just adopted a fantastic dog from the shelter. Their covid protocols are a little much which is the only reason they didnt get a 5th star.
They attended me real good and Im glad that I was recommend to go there very good work keep up the good work and thank you for your service
A very pleasant experience from beginning to end! We adopted our dog today and the process was very simple. They have the cats in the front when you walk in. They each had their own space and the staff does a wonderful job keeping them clean. If you want to look at a dog you need to go online and make an appointment. They dont take walk-ins at this time.
What a great place to find that perfect lifelong Friend, the Furry kind that is. All sorts of Dogs and Cats are available for Adoption and the volunteers are so nice to tell you all about each and every animal available. Then you can eve take the pet out to play in several different cages in Yards for meet and Greets. A clean and definitely Caring facility that helps get pets into homes through community Involvement. We had the privilege of adopting our Fur Baby from this Shelter. Thanks so much for our Pup!
Wonderful. Very organized. All dedicated personnel. Great help to our community.
Clean, modern facility. Staff is helpful and they really care about the animals and about people who are looking to adopt them.
I have adopted 2 dogs within the past year. One is an older dog and the other is a husky that is epiliptic. Although, they were not completely truthful about the severity of his epilipsy I have a great vet that put him on a high dosage of phenobarbital that has worked great. I have a total of 3 dogs and all are happy and healthy!
They were understanding an accomodating. They even told me that I could check on my fur babies well being until they got a new forever family. I was crying an they were compassionate to my unbearable situation that I couldnt control.
Yesterday I volunteered here for the first time. They have a program where volunteers and staff can come in and help socialize the dogs and cats to get them ready for adoption. This is a great thing for two reasons in my mind. One, the animals get out of their cages. Two, this means that the team at the shelter have been interacting with the pet you are about to adopt and actually know the pets - thus if there was a difficult animal they would know and there would be documentation in their profile. Additionally, when someone is looking for something specific in a pet that works for them, the staff can often make recommendations. What a plus for everyone. I have been to pounds in several different states during my life. This one is clean, the staff i have spoken to were knowledgeable and the pound had a large selection of both dogs and cats. Below are two of the dogs that i got to know. There was another one named Fosil I wish i had gotten a picture.
The staff are wonderful they have went out of there way to help us when our bully had a hurt leg and we needed help with medical needs and medicine for him.
Love them had to go in for cat food and dog food very nice people
Great Customer Service. The staff is willing to assist you in finding the dog of your choice.
Quick, easy and free. We spent weeks filing out applications on Petfinder with different rescue groups only to be told how we werent a fit because our kids were to young, we didnt have another dog or whatever excuse they would come up with. If youve done your research, know what type of dog you want Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center is a great option. We submitted our email to pre-adopt, picked a visit time and meet with the main handler who was amazing. They will give honest feedback if the dog would be a good fit. It was a painless experience and no silly questions and high demands that most rescue groups ask of you. Be patient with your search and you will find a great dog here.
This place is taking care of pets since long and it has great plans for adoptions and volunteerings.The place is clean and easy to navigate through. I went there as a volunteer couple of times and both the times i had so much fun. They make sure that the pets are well fed and are going out to play as scheduled. People working there are friendly and professional.#adoptapet
We came home with Leo. Hes a wonderful sweet 2 yr old 14lb kitty. Me and my grandson David is crazy about him. Nice place to get a pet. Very friendly and a lot of patience waiting for us to decide who will go home with us. They even stayed past their time to go home.Thank you for making our home a home.Phyllis & David
Id never been before & have been delightfully surprised by the entire experience. Email exchanges were very pleasant & helpful. The place itself is beautiful & the staff is great! Thanks for making my husbands Valentines Day all the sweeter - Shinx is a little nuts & thus settling perfectly! 😸
I found kittens and. Called them for advice. They were helpful and gave me advice on care and surrender.
I love this place. Awesome people!
My cat is missing and went to check found cats. They helped by setting a flyer to their site, wrote down cats Ive already seen and showed me that their Adopt site is updated hourly. They were amazing by answering or discussing all my questions and concerns. Thank you Pet Resource Center.
The handlers there were amazing. They offered additional resources to help with training my pup. I did not adopt.. I was able to foster and extend the foster. It gave me and my family time to get to know our pup and take care of him properly. He was a bit much for us. But was adopted a day later after returning him. The associates didnt make me feel bad about returning him. They reached out to offer any assistance that we needed to help and gave me additional options to continue on with their services. All of the animals there are well taken care of and they give as much info as they can on medical history/treatments. Great job guys!
,Very helpful and concern about my dog health and well being,also what I was going through after she passed away.
Absolutely friendly and knowledgeable staff. I had the best experience. Highly recommended.
I bought a sheefard from here. Its so beautiful.
Awesome place. You can feel the love in the air. Love this place
Great experience finding our new furbaby and adopting him! He had been there a month and his kennel card made him seem like the perfect dog. Good with people, good with CATS!!! He seemed to good to be true! Well after a few days he was ready to come home. We have 3 small kiddos and a 13 year old cat. I was nervous. I kept my guard up, but this dog is everything his kennel card said! He wants to kiss and love on everyone, he wants to be friends with my old crabby kitty and doesnt react when she growls and boops his nose. Hes a giant teddy bear! We love him so much.
Too difficult to get appointment. Dont like still cant walk through to view pets.
Abandoned liter of newborn kittens were found in my yard. They took them in and got them vetted and placed with a foster. So happy with their dedication at this facility.
You gotta feel the love. And you can as soon as you walk through the door.
My Mom always taught me if you didnt have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. The DESK STAFF & VOLUNTEERS ARE AMAZING, the paid upper management leave A HUGE AMOUNT to be desired. There is a great injustice being done to so many helpless animals here!
Paws adoption never returned your email or calls to adopting animal Tampa FL
I can not believe how excellent and well I was treated by the staff there including the police officers that work there to keep the place safe. One of my dogs managed to scape from the house at.night and someone found him less than half a block from my house and was taken to blue pearl a vet clinic who had my dog for a while and then turned it to the pet rescue. I found my dog thanks to their web page were it was posted as found. When I went to pick up my dog I was afraid that I was going to be treated like if I had abandoned my dog on the road and therefore will be investigated. This was not the case my dog had already been seeing and treated by their vet. A chip was put on my dog in case it gets lost, a rabbies vaccine, a.flea pill and more had been administered to my dog. I thought I will have to pay for all the services provided but to my surprise it was free of charge and I was made feel loved and treated with lots of respect. Thank you to all the staff that works there saving all different types of pets and I urge anyone who is undecided on where to donate money for a cause. The hillsborough county pet resource is a good place. I know as soon as my finances get better I will donate to them. Thank you for all they did and do for different people who need a pet or have lost one. I know Im happy and my kids are happy too to have our dog back in our home just like many others.
No problem didnt know you needed to make appointment but the gard was very nice answer all my questions
These folks doing awesome job they go over and beyond their job
Great personality very knowledgeable and made a very difficult into a easy transition. Kayla is a very special person
They have a beautiful facility with kind and patient employees! I went in to adopt a cat and almost left with 2! The animals are well taken care of and clean. Shots were up to date as well as sterilization and microchipping. ALL FEES WERE WAIVED! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Very friendly and helpful people here. Our dog got out and was picked up due to neighbors calling animal control. We went to pick him up expecting to pay a fine or something but we didnt have to pay anything. They even gave him his tags and shots at no charge.
The Tuesday volunteers were so kind helping me decide if I could offer the right home for a slightly special needs (recent hip surgery) dog. Since I was worried about interactions with the cat I was able to do a foster prior to adopting. Within 4 hours everyone knew this cutie was not going back ever.
This place is exceptional for a county animal shelter. Clean with excellent service. Animals all see as happy as they can be in a shelter. They are by appointment only during Covid, so be sure to call ahead.
Staff very friendly and helpful it was very clean inside and out
They do a wonderful job taking care of animals and people. Its a hard job but the staff really cares!
Excellent service. thanks to them I was able to find my puppy!
Very fast but you need an appointment to be let un
I found a new fur baby. A 10 week old kitty that I named Jasmine. the staff were very helpful with all the information I needed to know. I found my new baby probably 5 minutes after I got in there. I got to sit and visit with her first, we clicked immediately. she started purring within seconds of me holding her. Shes a real beauty, very friendly and loving. There are more dogs and cats all needing a good home. It was very easy to do to. Love my kitty!! 😍❤️
Amazing!! If they cant help you they go beyond to point you to who will help. Thank you for everything. - Lolas dad
It was a very good experience the people were very courteous and ready to work with me
We did our search online and called for an appointment. We showed up for the appointment and was promptly taken care off. The staff was very friendly and everything looked clean and well kept. We met our oet and brought her home the same day. We were expecting to pay but due to covid, they told us they are waiving all the fees. We are so happy with our new addition.
They have done two surgeries on my dog and continue to ask if I need anything they truly care about animals and people
Great facility just kinda hard to get into with all the covid protocols...
Very friendly staff and nice, clean facility. Animals are well taken care of. Will certainly come to them again for future adoptions.
