Yesterday, Tampa Bay celebrated two underdog stories. 💙

One took place under the bright lights of the World Series and the other happened in the PRC parking lot.

After 371 days in the shelter, our friend Pinto was adopted! That’s our kind of grand slam. ❤️

Head over to our online kennel to find an underdog of your own.

Working Cats are on the clock and ready for duty! 🐱💼

PRC has many fabulous felines looking for “jobs” and they can start TODAY!

If you have a warehouse, barn, nursery, or other workspace that could use a natural, eco friendly pest control professional, our Working Cats are eager to join your team. They thrive in quieter environments, prefer minimal human interaction, and help keep rodents away while having a safe place to call home.

Come meet your new hardest working employee at PRC and give a cat a second chance at life!

Thank you for being a friend… and maybe even adopting one! 💛✨

Meet the Golden Girls of PRC — four delightful senior queens who are ready to retire in style on your couch.

Peppa: The Dorothy of the group
Wise, gentle, and always ready with a soft tail wag, Peppa is a well mannered sweetheart who loves treats, knows her commands, and enjoys calm strolls. She’s house trained, easygoing, and the perfect fit for a laid back home that appreciates a classy lady with a kind heart.

Lola: The Blanche energy
Flirty? Maybe. Fabulous? Absolutely. Lola is affectionate, wiggly, and loves leaning in for pets. She’s a couch lounger, pup cup connoisseur, and expert snuggler who enjoys toys, treats, and being showered with attention. If you want glam and cuddles, Lola is your girl.

Kiwi: Our Rose
Sweet, joyful, and full of wholesome charm. Kiwi loves exploring, rolling in the grass, hopping onto benches for affection, and giving lots of kisses. She’s playful, gentle, and wonderfully people focused — a sunshine-y soul who brings good vibes wherever she goes.

Jada: The Sophia of the squad
A thoughtful old soul who enjoys a nice slow walk, gentle pets, and simple moments. Jada can be a little reserved at times, but she warms up beautifully and shows her tender side. She’s calm, polite, and perfectly content just being near her people.

Just like the Golden Girls, these four prove that age only makes you wiser, sweeter, and even more lovable. 💛🐾

Meet Modine! The dog with a big heart, a big smile, and now a big opportunity! 💛🐾

Modine is currently out in foster with Pet Suites of Carrollwood and we could not be more grateful for this amazing partnership. They stepped up after fostering and adopting one of our longest-stay pups, Amber/Mooreen, and now they’re giving Modine the same love and visibility. This kind of community support truly changes lives. Thank you, Pet Suites! 💙

Modine is thriving in foster care! She’s loving group play, making dog friends, and showing everyone just how social she really is. Staff and volunteers adore her. She’s playful, affectionate, and has a wonderful mix of goofy energy and cuddle bug charm. She learns quickly, aims to please, and she absolutely shines when given structure and love.

And thanks to Pet Suites of Carrollwood, she’s prepared for her next chapter!

👉Interested in meeting her? Reach out to us.

Princess is our autumn queen 🍂👑

This lovely girl greets her people with a wagging tail, soft eyes, and a whole lot of sweetness. She walks beautifully on leash and explores the world with curiosity. In the yard, Princess loves gentle affection, happily leaning in for pets and quietly taking in all the sights and sniffs.

Princess has shown she’s dog tolerant in playgroup, allows all handling from staff, and loves hopping up beside her friends for snuggles and attention. She may get excited at times but she’s learning how to show off her princess manners. 👑

While she will need a home without small animals, Princess is more than ready to be someone’s loyal companion.

Meet Cinnabun and Pumpkin! Two perfectly seasonal pups looking for homes as warm as a mug of c***r. ❤️

Cinnabun 🍰
This short king is as sweet as his name! With golden eyes and a cautious-but-loving heart, Cinnabun blossoms when given time and patience. Once he trusts you, he melts into belly rubs, cuddles, and all the cozy vibes. He’s house trained with great leash manners. Cinnabun enjoys calm dog friends, soft toys, and relaxing near his people.

Pumpkin 🎃
Pumpkin starts out a little shy, especially in new or busy environments. But once he warms up, he loves leaning in for affection and cozying up beside you. He enjoys gentle fetch, exploring the yard, rolling in fall leaves (sometimes mud), and taking in the world at his own peaceful pace. Pumpkin has great manners, takes treats softly, and walks beautifully on leash.

Both boys are ready to bring warmth, color, and sweetness into your home this season

Our Very Own Peppa Pig! 🐾

At 12 years young, Peppa is living proof that age is just a number! Like her cartoon namesake, she’s full of curiosity, gentle mischief, and a love for adventure. Whether she’s pawing at the door or bouncing on her front paws, Peppa’s days are filled with sniffs, smiles, and plenty of “oinks” of joy.

She’s a treat-motivated superstar who knows “sit” and “paw.” Volunteers say she’s playful, enjoys exploring the garden, and gives quick face licks—her version of Peppa Pig’s famous muddy puddle jumps! Even when she’s a little shy about the leash, she warms up quickly and is easy to walk.

Peppa does have a soft tissue sarcoma (a skin mass), but it’s not slowing her down. She’s still ready for playgroups, strolls, and lots of love. Like many older dogs, she needs a family who’ll cherish her golden years and keep her comfy and happy.

If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, and loving companion, Peppa is ready to be your best friend. Adopt Peppa and let her bring a little “piggy” joy to your life—because every day with her is a new adventure!

Meet Bongo!

This gentle guy arrived as a stray in mid June, and ever since, he’s been showing us his adorable personality: equal parts cuddly, goofy, playful, and sensitive.

Some of Bongo’s favorite things:
• Splashing in the pool and rolling in the grass
• Sitting next to you for soft pets
• Quiet naps in soft beds
• Short, happy walks and the occasional zoomie burst
• Watching the world from a sunny spot

He can get a bit excited in his kennel, but once he’s out, Bongo transforms into an easygoing companion. His foster shared that he was gentle, snuggly, housebroken, and even braves the couch for cozy cuddle time.

He’s sensitive to storms and loud noises, so he would thrive in a calm home where he can feel safe and adored. He also has some dental needs typical for a senior pup, but nothing that love, care, and a trusted vet can’t help with.
