Fair aims to find loving homes for pets

March 31, 2020 By Christine Holtzman

Feeling the need to find forever homes for stray animals, The Unity North Tampa church, 19520 Holly Lane in Lutz, hosted a pet adoption fair last month. Dozens of kittens and 14 dogs were at the event. The adoption fair also featured pet blessings, performed by the Rev. Virginia Walsh. People wishing to have their pets blessed, could bring them on leashes or in carriers. Or, they could bring a photo of their pet to be blessed. For more coverage, see full story.

Tia Bednarczyk, founder of the Plant City rescue group, Dachshund Seeking Forever Home, holds Sally, a dachshund that will be ready for adoption after she recovers from dental surgery. The nonprofit group brought three dogs that were available for adoption.

Church member and event volunteer Eileen Ross, of Lutz, cuddles with a kitten named Vera inside the safety tent that was set up to contain the kittens during the Unity North Tampa’s Pet Adoption Fair. The kittens were brought to the fair by the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
