A few of Jack’s favorite people to work with in rescuing animals

Agencies

Hillsborough County Animal Services

Humane Society of Tampa Bay

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is dedicated to ending animal homelessness and providing care and comfort to companion animals in need.  For almost 100 years, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has served our community by finding homes for homeless animals, free shot clinics in disadvantaged neighborhoods, providing pet food for people who can not afford to feed their pets, offering low cost spay/neuter for owned pets, providing affordable wellness care for all pets, coordinating the community’s TNR program for feral cats, and transferring homeless pets who are at risk to our facility to improve our counties save rate.  The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is the place that Makes Dreams Come True™.  Website

Rescue Groups

Animal Coalition of Tampa

Mission:  To provide a quality, affordable and accessible opportunity for people to spay and neuter companion animals so that someday we can end pet overpopulation in Hillsborough County.  ACT Clinic was established to give people an affordable way to do the right thing. We believe that all living creatures have inherent value and are deserving of an acceptable quality of life. Euthanasia as a means of population control has no place in this vision. ACT’s primary focus is high volume spay/neuter programs to reduce the number of companion animals entering Hillsborough County’s shelter, and in turn, to eliminate euthanasia. Currently, ACT is involved in three major projects to achieve this end.  ? ?ACT Spay/Neuter Clinic: high volume, low cost surgeries taking dogs and cats. Call 813-250-3900 for reservations. ? ?SpayDay: a monthly volunteer-based spay/neuter program for feral cats of Hillsborough County. ? Stride for Strays: an annual fundraiser to increase awareness and support for local spay/neuter efforts   Website

Animal Friends Society is dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for each animal we take in.

All funds collected go directly to the care of our animals!  Website

Bay Area Greyhound Adoptions

We are an all-volunteer group that finds pet homes for greyhounds who retire from racing or who do not qualify for the track. We also inform the public about the desirability of greyhounds as pets. Our mission is to assist any greyhound in need, including senior dogs or those with broken legs or other physical problems. Since our inception in July 2004, we have placed approximately 500 greyhounds in pet homes throughout the Tampa Bay area. Because there are so many greyhound race tracks in Florida, it is not possible to adopt all greyhounds locally. We therefore assist with shipping of retired racing greyhounds to non-racing states for adoption. We are also a part of the Second Chance at Life Greyhound Prison Program in which we place greyhounds in prison facilities and the inmate handlers help to train the greyhounds prior to adoption. This program helps both the dogs and the inmates and has been highly successful.  Website

Big Cat Rescue

Big Cat Rescue, a non profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic (i.e. wild, not domestic) cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats, and to educating the public about these animals and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild.   Website

C.A.R.E.S.

CARES was founded in September 2007. What was once just a vision soon turned into our Mission. We here at CARES (Community Animal Rescue & Educational Shelter) dedicate our entire being in helping the unfortunate pets of our community. In just over a years time, CARES has rescued and re-homed over 280 pets. These pets once belonged somewhere, to someone and left to fend for themselves either by abuse, neglect, or pure ignorance. CARES believes that there is that perfect Forever Home for each and every pet we rescue. CARES soley relies on the support we receive from our volunteers, fosters, sponsors and donors. CARES is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization.  Website
