Join Us at the SPCA Tampa Bay Pet Walk
The 31st Annual Pet Walk
Last year, despite the pandemic, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) raised over $115,000 for animals in need. They hope to accomplish even more this year with their annual Pet Walk.
The SPCA
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Tampa Bay is the only non-profit animal welfare agency in Pinellas County that runs an open-admission For-All animal shelter and vet. The shelter homes more than 4,770 animals annually. These animals typically include injured wildlife and animals that their owners have surrendered.
