As many families continue to face financial challenges, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay (HSTB) is stepping up to help. Throughout the entire month of November, HSTB will waive all veterinary exam fees at its Animal Hospital, ensuring that pets can receive the medical care they need—regardless of their owners’ financial situation.

“When money gets tight, pets often pay the price,” said Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. “We never want families to have to choose between paying bills and taking their pet to the vet.”

This compassionate initiative reflects HSTB’s ongoing mission to keep pets with the families who love them, even in difficult times.

Helping Pets Stay Healthy and at Home

In addition to waiving exam fees, HSTB provides continued support to struggling pet owners through two vital community programs:

  • Animeals – A monthly delivery program providing free pet food to homebound and low-income pet owners.

  • The Pet Pantry – Offering free pet food and supplies twice a week at the shelter to anyone in need.

These programs aim to remove barriers to pet care and prevent animals from being surrendered due to financial hardship.

Appointments are available throughout November at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay Animal Hospital. Call (813) 870-3304 to schedule your pet’s appointment.
