Largo, FL (BLOOM) – SPCA Tampa Bay is hosting its Pocket Pets of Gold adoption event from Wednesday, March 6, through Sunday, March 17, offering the community a chance to adopt various small animals without the usual adoption fees. The event encompasses a wide range of “pocket pets” including rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, along with reptiles like turtles and select livestock.

The shelter, known for its inclusive For-All policy, aims to find loving homes for over 80 animals, boasting a diverse array of species from the furry to the scaly. Interested adopters are invited to visit the shelter in Largo or browse available pets online, with a reminder that early arrival and appropriate carriers are recommended for those looking to adopt.
