Friends of Strays Adoptions

Pet Adoption is a major decision; we encourage you to discuss this with all family members before moving forward. Having a pet in the home can effect many things, such as your schedule, human allergies, lifestyle, etc. Most important, can you commit to caring for an animal for its entire lifetime? Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, providing food, shelter, medical treatment and love for the lifetime of the animal.
Do you have the time and the resources to care for your new pet properly should it become injured or sick one day? We must be confident that each of our little ones is going to a home where all responsibilities to the pet will be met, lovingly and in a timely manner.
We look forward to serving your pet adoption needs.

Thank you for considering Friends of Strays

About our Adoption Centers

Friends of Strays was founded in 1978 by four compassionate women to provide temporary care, shelter and sterilization to stray animals. These animals were housed in foster homes until 1992 when Friends of Strays opened its present shelter on 47th Avenue North, St. Petersburg. Its medical facility, where all adopted pets are spayed or neutered and emergency care is provided, was completed in 1994. Our Pet Adoption Center in our Thrift Store opened in 1995 when the Store opened at its present location on US 19 at Park/Gandy.

Friends of Strays is committed to ongoing public education programs on the importance of responsible pet ownership and spaying/neutering pets.
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Many work in the office, the Pet Adoption Centers and in the kennels while others foster sick or injured animals or abandoned puppies and kittens in their homes. Many animals who are adopted owe their lives to our Volunteers. We deeply appreciate all our Volunteers' efforts on behalf of our stray animals.

Accepted Methods of Payment at the Thrift Store and Pet Adoption Centers are:
American Express, Master Card, Visa, Discover, most ATM/Debit cards, Personal Checks, Travelers Checks, Cash.

With our great locations, our Pet Adoption Centers let pet lovers interact with lovable furry friends. Adoption hours are 10-2:45 Tuesday - Friday at the Thrift Store site; 10-2:45 Weekends at our Shelter at 2911-47th Avenue North.
