Anyone interested in adopting or fostering any of this week’s featured pets can make an appointment to meet them at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center by calling 813-301-7387, emailing petinfo@HCFLGov.net or visiting HCFLGov.net/PRCkennel.
Meet Bambi, who arrived at the shelter in late May as a stray. She is playful, cuddly, silly, and learning every day that people can be trusted. She wiggles for her foster, picks favorite toys and takes treats gently. She warms up quickly to kids, follows the lead of other dogs, and has a wonderful history with cats. She proudly shows off "sit'' and "down'' and continues to blossom with patience. Bambi's ID at the shelter is A2525946.[ Photo SUBMITTED ]
Meet Jaxon, who has been at the Pet Resource Center for more than 200 days. When he arrived in February as a stray, he was underweight and in rough condition. But with time, care, and consistency, Jaxon has filled out, brightened up, and discovered a huge love for water, be it a kiddie pool, a hose, or a splash session in the yard. He’s done incredibly well with staff, volunteers, and on his Adventure Tails outings. Unfortunately, after 200-plus days in the shelter, Jaxon is starting to show anxiety in his kennel. He needs an “out” soon — a foster, an adopter, someone who can help him continue this upward trajectory before stress sets him back. Jaxon's ID at the shelter is A2507509.[ Photo SUBMITTED ]
Meet Khan, a 2-year-old, large Shar‑Pei mix who carries a name that sounds mighty, yet his heart is soft. Khan flinches at fast hands, thinks twice before stepping out of the car, and needs slow reassurance that people can be kind. With gentle words and slow movements, he leans in for scratches and bows his head for rubs. With staff and volunteers, Khan shows the same steady progress. He walks calmly, takes treats gently, sits for photos, and explores the yard with quiet curiosity. Khan's ID at the shelter is A2535209.[ Photo SUBMITTED ]
