OWNER SURRENDER (County residents wishing to give up their owned pets.)
Tues/Wed/Friday only from 1 - 5 pm
All pets relinquished by their owners must be in compliance with the Hillsborough
County ordinance ordinance for current rabies vaccination and registration tag, which is applicable to all dogs and cats four months or older. Residents not in compliance will need to visit the Animal Services customer service desk for necessary documents.
While Animal Services has a thriving pet adoption program, it is almost impossible
to re-home all of the animals that come to the facility. Before making the
decision to visit the County’s animal surrender gate, pet owners are
encouraged to first look for suitable new homes through friends, relatives,
local rescue groups and other shelters, such as The
Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
Due to budget cuts, Hillsborough County Animal Services has been forced to suspend its after-hours emergency animal response (effective August 31, 2010).
