FL,Tampa-Humane Society of Tampa Bay
2025
As of Jan. 2, 2026 Humane Society of Tampa Bay will merge with Humane Society of Pinellas. The first three months of this report were very detailed, with each category separated by age. Starting in April and lasting throughout the year, those details were lost, and categories vanished and appeared as something totally different. The big totals are accurate, but the details in the comments may not be.
