Pet Rehoming

We understand that life circumstances can change. If you need to find a new home for your pet, Humane Society Tampa Bay offers resources and support designed to help pets stay safe, cared for, and loved during difficult transitions.

What to Expect
Guidance through a difficult decision

We know rehoming a pet is never easy. Our team is here to listen without judgment, explain your options, and walk with you every step of the way—always keeping your pet’s safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

Because our space is limited, please explore rehoming resources before bringing your pet to the shelter. This helps us plan ahead and ensure the best care for every pet who comes through our doors.

Bring Your Pet In

Arrive at the shelter with your pet and any records you have so we can begin their care right away.

Important to know

Be prepared to provide: vaccination records, medical history, behavior information, recent photos, and current address.

Support is available if you’re struggling to care for your pet. Explore our resources before rehoming.

Shelter space is limited. Intake availability cannot always be guaranteed.

Direct rehoming helps reduce stress for your pet by allowing them to stay in a home environment until placed.
