His new ID
Rescue Request for Assistance
Adam was adopted from us in 2015 but was transferred back to us from another shelter in August. He is a sweet senior boy who loves the scent garden, slow walks, & leans in for lots of pets! If you’re looking for a low-key friendly, please give Adam a chance.
Medical attached. Notes below.
Intake Note: 08/31/23 16:48 At intake, he allowed all handling from staff. -TB Per HSTB records, tolerated handling handling with loose body posture. Unable to safetly do exam. On leash meeting, curious and whining to approach. Wanting to engage but not pushing to engage. Fine exploring yard.
Volunteer Note: 10/16/23: Adam (A1836704) was easy to leash and walk to the play yard by the volunteer in training. He did a quick tour of the yard; then came up for pets from both of us. He was quite happy spending his time there walking with us and going back and forth seeking affection. He was more inquisitive in the garden, sniffing along the fence, in the plants and around the obstacles, enjoying the “news of the day”. He still never strayed far, being sure to make frequent pet stops with us. When back in the play yard, I picked up a squeaky toy to try. He sniffed the hard one when tossed; then picked up a soft plush one. We played a few rounds of senior dog fetch, tossing it out a few feet for him to pick up. He walked close to the other volunteer and was easy to return to his kennel. He’s a very sweet, gentle senior dog who happily soaks up all the love and attention offered.
11/26/23Per volunteer: was very easy to leash and walk to the play yard. He leaned against me for pets before going off to explore. I tossed a couple toys that he picked up and carried briefly before coming back for another pet. He soon went to the garden gate, nudging it to go out. He perked up more to be out in the garden to sniff and explore the garden. He walked within a few feet as I walked the garden and would come up for pets when I sat on a rock. He did well on sit and wait. He is a loving, gentle senior who enjoys quietly sniffing and just being near someone.
12/26/23 Per Volunteer: Adam A1836704 was easy to leash. He was not jumping or barking and stood still. He was very low energy in the yard. He showed little interest in toys. He solicited and allowed pets all over, leaning on my leg and wagging his tail. He sat and took a treat gently but set it on the ground. He was easy to return to kennel.

***ADOPTED!!!*** 🙂
Ok Village, we need you!!!! Adam is a very special dog to the staff at the shelter and he needs a great home!!!! Adam, who we had posted before when he was transferred in to the shelter by the HSTB, found himself on the euth list due to space. He was scheduled to be euthanized and one of the staff members looked into his eyes and knew that Adam was not done on this earth and took him home that very day. Sadly, due to living situations she has been trying to rehome the 2 dogs she took in to foster from the shelter. Titan is another dog who we also will be posting. These dogs are as perfect as they can be. Good with other dogs, small dogs, children, housebroken, friendly, healthy, leash trained and loving. Adam is truly a lover, he likes sleeping in bed and giving kisses. Adam is listed as a 2 year old terrier mix. Please help us find Adam a home.

All the information we have about this dog is posted above. If we have not posted about it in the description, we DO NOT KNOW how the dog does with other dogs, cats, kids, or is house trained. Most of them come in without a resume. We do our best to find out as much as we can, but it can be difficult to assess in a shelter environment.
==========================
**** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! THANK YOU!!! ****
==========================
THIS ALBUM WAS CREATED BY AND IS MAINTAINED BY VOLUNTEERS. THIS PAGE IS NOT A PROJECT OF OR AFFILIATED WITH THE SHELTER OTHER THAN THEY DO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS!!! PLEASE REMEMBER WE ALSO HAVE FULL TIME JOBS, FAMILIES, AND LIVES AND DO THE BEST WE CAN TO SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS POSSIBLE.
All the dogs in this album are located in Hillsborough County Animal Services in Tampa Fl. Every effort is made to keep the information as up to date as possible.
**** WE CHECK STATUS EVERY DAY ON EVERY DOG AND MAKE AN UPDATE WHEN STATUS CHANGES. Please note, most of us admins work days, as well as we only receive a report of status updates ONCE a day from the shelter – this is run and sent to us at 7pm when the shelter closes. THEREFORE WE DO NOT KNOW IF A DOGS STATUS HAS CHANGED UNTIL CLOSE EVERY DAY AT 7PM AND THAT IS WHEN WE DO DAILY STATUS UPDATES! If you need status during the day, call the shelter (make sure you ask the name of the person you are speaking to so if the information is incorrect, we know who gave it out).
*** ADOPT INFO: All dogs available for adoption are vetted and ready to go and expected to leave when you apply to adopt them. No holds will be placed on a dog. IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT, THEN GO TO THE SHELTER AND MEET THE DOG ASAP. IF THE DOG IS POSTED AS ON EUTH, THEN PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] and CC to [email protected] . Please include the name and ID number of the dog, your name, phone number, and when you will go to the shelter to adopt them (must be same day for euth listed dogs). PLEASE DON’T EMAIL THE SHELTER IF THE DOG IS NOT ON EUTH!!! Just go and meet them if they are not on the euth list.
All dogs must be adopted in person. If you are out of area and willing to drive in and meet the dog and put in an application, we may be able to help get the dog to you when ready to go. If you are out of state and want to adopt a dog, you will need to find a rescue to pull, arrange transport, the dog will need a vet issued health cert for travel, and, most likely, temp foster while all the arrangements are being made. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THE SHELTER UNTIL YOU HAVE MADE THE ARRANGEMENTS AND HAVE SOMEONE TO PICK THE DOG UP!!!
*** FOSTER PROGRAM UPDATE 6/12/15 The following are the guidelines to foster at risk dogs through the Last Chance Foster. These are the guidelines we adapted from the last foster program and will post official guidelines once the program is finalized and made official):
Last Chance Fostering Program:
1. Approved Individuals are eligible to foster animals that have been at the shelter more than 30 days or are on the euthanasia list for time/space.
2. Last Chance foster will be limited to two months providing ample opportunities to find their foster a forever home.
3. They will commit to bringing in their animals to all First Saturday Adoption Events and 2 additional Saturday Adoption Days at the shelter.
4. All scheduled foster appointments will be attended.
5. At the end of the Two (2) month period the foster parent will be responsible for returning the animal to Pet Resources for euthanasia or adopting their animal.
If you are interested in fostering, please email [email protected] and CC to [email protected]. Dogs that are not eligible for foster can be “adopted to rehome”. These dogs are eligible to come to the HCAS adoption events.
*** RESCUE INFO: To place a rescue hold or to become an HCAS Rescue Partner, please email [email protected].
***PLEDGES: If you would like to pledge for a dog, just post a comment on the dogs thread how much you would like to pledge. We encourage people to only make pledges for HCAS approved rescues or to the HCAS foster program. Money should never be sent directly to adopters. It can be sent directly to their vet for dogs that have medical issues. Once a dog with pledges leaves the building to the approved rescue and we receive a link where pledges can be paid, we will post the link. We cannot be responsible for pledges being paid. It is up to rescues to collect their own pledges. Sadly, usually not 100% of pledges are actually realized. Rescues feel free to let us know if someone has not paid a pledge after being asked and we may ban them from the page. It would be helpful if pledgers would keep a list of dogs they have pledged for so they can check on the threads and pay their pledges once the dog leaves the building. PLEASE NOTE FB DOES NOT ALWAYS ALLOW US TO COMMENT TAG EVERYONE ON A THREAD TO ASK TO PAY THEIR PLEDGE. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO PM YOU TO REMIND YOU BECAUSE PMS USUALLY END UP IN THE ‘OTHERS’ FOLDER AND MOST PEOPLE NEVER SEE THEM. IT IS UP TO YOU TO KEEP TRACK OF AND PAY YOUR PLEDGES! Thank you!
*** INFO ON HW: Heartworms are not contagious and dogs can only get them by a mosquito bite. They can be treated with “fast kill” which takes about 2 months, is more expensive, and the dog will need to be kept quiet during the treatment. There is also “slow kill” which is cheaper, takes longer, the dog does not need to have normal activity restricted (extremely vigorous exercise probably should be delayed), takes usually 6-18 months. List of vets who will support slow kill: https://www.facebook.com/notes/tamar-barry/vets-in-tampast-pete-area-who-will-do-gentleslow-hw-treatment/282243061843020
