In just a few days during the Home for the Holidays adoption event the Humane Society of Pinellas has already helped 28 animals find their new home in time for Christmas!

The holidays are a time to celebrate family, friends and everything that we love. It is the season of giving for most and there is no better feeling for animal lover than giving a home to a shelter animal. During the month of December the Humane Society of Pinellas has hosted several events to help get their fur kids, as they call them, into the loving arms of a new family in time to meet Santa Paws.

Donations received before December 31st are being doubled!

From the Human Society of Pinellas Facebook page, “When you give before Dec. 31st, your donation will be DOUBLED, thanks to a generous $50,000 match from the Humane Society of Pinellas Board of Directors. Donate today: humanesocietyofpinellas.org or through our Facebook Double Your Donation Fundraiser.”

Clearwater Home for the Holidays “PAWS-on-PARADE” took place in Downtown Clearwater on December 17th.

From the Downtown Clearwater – CRA Facebook page, “It was all smiles, wags and barks at the Clearwater Home for the Holidays “PAWS-on-PARADE” held this past Saturday on Cleveland Street in Downtown Clearwater. Thank you to all the pets who showed off their holiday spirit, local pet rescue groups, vendors, Tiny Paws Daycare, and the Humane Society of Pinellas ???”

Starting on December 18th through the 23rd adoption fees were waived.

From the Human Society of Pinellas Facebook page, “We want to see all our furry kids find a Home for the Holidays, where they will be loved and cherished and have a family to call their own forever and always. We’re waiving all adoption fees from December 18th through December 23rd to help our kids find the happy homes they deserve. To see the wonderful fur kids looking for you this holiday season go to humanesocietyofpinellas.org.”

Thousands of volunteers throughout the Tampa Bay area pitch in and lend a hand during this time in support of this cause. Thanks to both staff and volunteers, all together in the month of December thus far over 100 pets have already made it home for the Holidays!
