Tampa, FL-- "It’s the time of year for giving, but don’t forget about the animals out there. Help fill bellies, warm hearts and make spirits bright,"- that's what Tampa Veterinarian Hospital is asking of locals this holiday season.

Tampa Veterinary Hospital is hosting a pet food drive through the month of December, and all proceeds will go to the homeless pets at the Lost Angels Animal Rescue in Tampa- a local no-kill animal rescue shelter dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of unwanted animals.

Hillsborough Co., FL-- Increase animal adoptions and decrease the euthanasia rate. That's the goal of the Hillsborough Animal Health Foundation as it launches a new pilot program called "AWAKE".

As a part of the new program, local veterinary hospitals will foster pets from the Animal Shelter until a forever family can be found for them.

"These are pets that are beyond the normal wait time and would have to be euthanized, [without] this fostering program," explained a foundation representative.
