HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. – Hillsborough County’s Pet Resource Center is hosting a special “Pawloween” event this Saturday, October 26th, to help find loving homes for their adoptable pets.
The event will take place from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Pet Resource Center, located at 440 N. Falkenburg Road in Tampa.
Festive Fun and Waived Fees
“Pawloween” will feature a costume contest for adoptable pets, with guests serving as judges.

Urgent Need for Adopters and Fosters
The Pet Resource Center is currently overflowing with dogs and cats, especially after the recent influx of animals displaced by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The shelter is urgently seeking adopters and foster parents to help care for these animals.
Open-Admissions Shelter
The Pet Resource Center is the only open-admissions shelter in Hillsborough County, meaning they accept all dogs and cats, regardless of breed, size, or medical condition. They are open to the public from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.
You can view photos and information about adoptable pets online through the PRC’s online kennel.
