All Things Dog - July 15

The SPCA shelter in Largo has taken in 64 dogs from a breeder in North Florida who died of cancer and was unable to relocate her dogs before she died. Most of these dogs were breeders, so they are used to life in a cage and will need special homes. They are Australian Shepherds and Aussie mixes, Border Collies and Pomeranians. You can read more and see a photos in the Trib. To contact the Largo shelter, call SPCA Tampa Bay at (727)586-3591.
