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).

Tampa Vendors Plan Free Wedding for Couple Affected by COVID-19
We teamed up with a group of incredible Tampa Bay wedding vendors to giveaway an entire wedding experience to a directly couple affected by COVID-19.
Every year, as a part of our mission, we giveaway our wedding pet care services to a couple that rescued their dog.
With the many challenges brought on by a global pandemic, we wanted to make an even bigger difference this year so we teamed up with a group of incredible Tampa Bay wedding vendors to giveaway an entire wedding experience to a couple directly affected by COVID-19.
Like so many other couples, Richard & Stacy’s wedding plans were flipped upside down by the Coronavirus pandemic. They were both full time in the hospitality industry & both lost their jobs when their employers, like many others, were forced to close down in March. Despite the many set backs, including no income in sight, these two stayed positive & made the best of their situations.
What they said got them through all of the trials & tribulations was their undying love for each other.
When we learned they had a dream to include their rescue maltese-mix, Bojangles, in their special day, we knew this was the right couple for our giveaway & that they deserved to have their love celebrated!
Bojangles, also known as Bobo, was such an important part of the wedding.
At 10 years old, he’d been a big part of the family for many years & he was one of just a few guests in attendance on the big day.
He helped walk the Bride down the aisle, gave out lots of love to everyone throughout the day & looked mighty handsome in his tuxedo.
Congratulations to this beautiful family for showing us that no matter what the world has in store, love always finds a way!
A huge thank you to all the amazing vendors
that donated their services
to make this couple’s dream come true:

Adoptable Puppies Instead of Flower Bouquets!
Adoptable Puppies > Flower Bouquets
That’s how Joelle & Kyle felt about their wedding details, at least. Instead of having their bridesmaids walk down the aisle with bouquets, they chose something much more unique - & adorable! They invited adoptable puppies to their wedding & included them in the ceremony & cocktail hour.

FairyTail Pet Care, in partnership with the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, brought their Yappily Ever After program to Sarasota. The couple made a donation to the shelter & we took care of the rest. We brought volunteers to assist with each puppy & provided transportation to & from the shelter.
Including adoptables in a wedding is not just for the cute factor. It’s much more than that, in fact.
Socialization is incredibly important for any puppy, but especially for one that is looking for their forever home. Providing them with new experiences at a young age helps them lead much happier & healthier lives. It also raises awareness for not only their specific needs, but for adoption in general.
Just imagine knowing that YOUR wedding actually saved a life!
This program is such a great way for socially-conscious, animal-loving couples to really showcase their personalities. A wedding can be about more than just a couple’s love for each other, but about the way they will show up to the world as a couple.
After the ceremony, we had some fun taking photos & then the guests were able to mingle around with the puppies while the couple took their portraits. It was so fun to see faces light up over the opportunity for some puppy snuggles. The puppies also enjoyed giving kisses & finding new ways to fall asleep in someone’s arms.
One lucky pup even found his forever home that night - & with the bride’s sister no less! It was such an incredible night filled with so much love & pawsitivity!
We took the puppies back to the shelter after the wedding for a well earned dinner & nap.
They seriously had the BEST DAY EVER!
