November 3, 2026 – Pinellas County Animal Services launched the Home for the Holidays program Sunday (Nov. 1). The initiative, which runs through Dec. 30, allows community members to foster a shelter dog or cat for up to 30 days. According to a prepared statement, this gives the animals “a welcome break from shelter life and a chance to enjoy the comforts of a home.” To learn more about the program, visit this link.
