Adoptions Needed in Tampa Bay! - May 2023 Humane Society Volunteer Day
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.. Meet the 9 shelter dogs that are all available for adoption from Humane Society of Tampa Bay!
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).

Transportation For Your Dog on Wedding Day
If you’re planning to invite your dog to your wedding there are a lot of logistics to consider. The most common one that couple’s struggle with is who will bring them to the venue & drop them off after the ceremony. Luckily, this is one of the main services a wedding pet care company provides!

Hiring professional wedding pet care means you won’t have to ask someone to leave your wedding to bring your dog home, or ask someone you didn’t invite to be on doggie duty. It also means your dog has the option to head home when it’s best for them & get settled in after a fun-filled day of wedding photos & ceremony while you & your guests enjoy the reception & party.
Every wedding is unique, but typically the wedding pet attendant will pick your dog up from the pre-determined location & then head to the venue.
Commonly, this is your home or a family/friend home, but it can also be the airbnb or hotel you’re getting ready at or a boarding facility/pet sitter’s home.
The same goes for drop off, it will be determined ahead of time where your dog will be dropped off (home, hotel, boarding, etc).
The locations can be different if that is what makes the most sense (i.e pick up at home & drop off at boarder).
You may have multiple locations on your wedding timeline & your dog’s wedding handler can provide transportation to & from these locations, as well, if needed.
For example, you may want your dog to visit you at the hotel you’re getting ready in for a few pictures & good luck kisses then head to the venue for the ceremony. Or your reception/cocktail hour may be at a different location than your ceremony.
Your dog’s wedding handler will be happy to settle your pup in at the end of the night, of course.
They’ll make sure they have dinner, if needed, & a potty break, along with any other end of night tasks before heading out. This ensures you can enjoy the rest of your night knowing your baby is all settled in after their big adventure.
You can also add additional hours of pet care at this point.
This is especially helpful if you’re dog is dropped off at a hotel room or unfamiliar location. Overnight stays are an option, as well, if you need someone to care for your dog until the next day.
If you’re considering including your dog in your wedding in any way, then we highly recommend investing in wedding pet care.
It ensures you & your dog will have the best day ever by providing peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best care possible & that all of the logistics, like transportation, will be handled by a professional.
