ADOPT Me!
These 9 shelter dogs are all available for adoption from Humane Society of Tampa Bay!
Every month we help our friends at AGoldPhoto bring their studio to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay in order to bring extra exposure to animals who need it the most.
When a new animal is brought in through intake at the shelter they capture a quick photo for their file. Often the animal is nervous at this time & the staff is mainly focused on assessing the animal & ensuring their well-being as they introduce them to their temporary home at the shelter.
This is why we teamed up with AGoldPhoto to capture professional photos of these animals to replace the initial intake photos that they add to their online profile. This is where most people begin their rescue animal search & having a professional photo of the animal that better showcases their personalities helps prospective adopters find & better match their soon-to-be new family member.
With our expertise in helping animals pose for photos & feel comfortable in front of the camera & the pet photography expertise of AGoldPhoto we are able to capture beautiful photos of these well-deserving animals.
Now, let’s meet the 9 adorable shelter dogs looking for their furever homes (as of May 10th, 2023).

Some Luck for the Pups
It is always good to see a happy ending! I am sure many of you have heard about the dogs that were rescued from the meat farm in Korea. Fourteen of the rescued pups were brought to Tampa Bay’s Humane Society so that they could get the care and help that they need to find their furever homes. To bring some light into your life, we chose to follow up on some of the pups and see how they have progressed since their arrival.
Rosa
After a short amount of time, it was discovered that Rosa, who is a Korean Jindo, was pregnant. Rosa was very afraid of humans and would hide in the corner. After some time, the volunteers were able to get her to warm up a bit. Although there were not enormous leaps of improvement, there was enough to give hope that all would be okay. Miss Rosa gave birth to 6 babies, 5 males and 1 female. She still can be very nervous, but she and her pups are safe. Rosa will need a family with a lot of patience and love to help her along the way.
Banjo
Banjo was first of the day to go to his furever home! Just two months after arriving, this sweet spirit was able to open his heart up and give life a second chance. Banjo was the first of three dogs to be adopted that day, along with Alphie and Annie. Banjo’s owner came 3 hours early just to make sure everything was situated properly for him. Here is a picture of Banjo with his new owner!
Lucy & Reggie
These two lucky pups were the first of 14 to go to their new happy homes. The two of them had a little bit of an easier time adjusting than some of the other Korean rescues. A volunteer and a staff member of Tampa Bay’s Humane Society adopted them, which were said to have bonded with the two quickly. There is a lot of positivity surrounding the two and their placements, as their owners have committed to the training and special care that they will require.
It is so wonderful to see an animal that has been through such torture and cruelty, live in a home filled with peace and solitude! This is Lucy in her new home.
Tommy
It is always a rewarding feeling when you can see a dog that has been through so much, make steps in the right direction. Tommy wanted nothing to do with any human interaction when he first arrived with all of the other Korean meat trade pups. According to volunteers and staff they would have to leave his cage open so he would come out on his own. Although he didn’t mind playing with other dogs in the yard, after almost a month of love, Tommy was curious and felt safe enough to sniff a friendly hand! This is HUGE! Tommy will have long road ahead, but just as there is with Rosa, there is hope.
Harry
Harry is a perfect example of the progress that can be made through some love, dedication, and patience. The staff members explain how in just a week and a half Harry went from a scared and confused dog, to being excited to see his human friends. In that short amount of time, he now understands that humans will treat him nicely here.
There are still Korean pups that will need a forever home, like Harry.
Each dog will be available at a time when he/she is ready based on their needs and training. If you or someone you know is interesting in rescuing an animal in need, please reach out to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay or your local rescue. Many animals need to know that we care and we do not want to hurt but heal their hearts. If you are unable to adopt, there are still many ways to contribute. Look into volunteering your time or supplies here.
