Spike Wants To See All of Tampa’s Dog Parks With You
Meet Spike! He’s Roxanne’s pet project of the week! Spike is a 3 year-old Terrier who weighs about 65 pounds. He was brought into the Humane Society of Tampa Bay as a stray and is still looking for his forever home. The shelter has noticed he’s okay on the leash, but needs a little training. He’s also friendly with people and other dogs! He may be a little shy at first, but if you share some peanut butter with him he will quickly become your best friend!

One of the missions of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay is to end animal homelessness and we can’t wait to help in their mission.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, provides shelter for homeless & at risk animals, adoptions, hospital and TNVR services for the general public; operates independently from the Humane Society of the United States. And we, along with our animals, would love to have you as a partner on this journey.
11 Things First Time Pet Owners Need
1) Car Hammock
This is mainly for you dog owners, but trust me not only do you want a car hammock so that your pup doesn’t get hurt in the backseat, but if they shed, this is a much easier clean up than vacuuming the car out later.
3) Lint Roller
It’s always incredibly surprising to me how much my dog and cats shed. And we’re talking about pets that have a variety of hair lengths too. Having a super helpful lint roller on hand will be your saving grace. This ChomChom lint roller works really well on your couches and other upholstery. It also has a compartment to keep all of the hair so you don’t have to waste time trying to peel the sticky paper back from each other like on some rollers.
4) Pet Stain Remover
Accidents happen and having the cleaning products you need on hand can be a big help. This pet stain remover spray is great for those spot treatment messes. It’s chlorine-free and color-safe so you won’t have to worry about ruining any of your cloth.
5) Bissell Portable Machine Pet Cleaner
And for those messes that need more than just a simple spot treatment, this is the way to go. If you have an at-home carpet cleaner this Bissell pet cleaner solution can go right into your carpet cleaner and help you clean any stains in your way.
7) Cat Wall Scratching Board
Speaking of wall scratching, my biggest fear with my non-declawed cats is that they are going to scratch up my walls. So I try to help them avoid doing that by getting things like this. This is a wall mount scratching post. It sticks to your wall and gives them the space to do what they need to do with their scratching and not messing up your home. Scratching posts are definitely essential for having cats.
9) Did You Feed The Dog Reminder
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. If you have multiple people in your house who will also be taking care of your dog (or cat) this is a super helpful tool. My pets are stealthy. They like to whine in the morning like no one has already fed them, but in reality they have. This is great for setting a reminder and making sure your pet doesn’t gain too much weight from overeating.
10) Toy Bins
You might not realize it yet, but your house is about to become a pet toy city. And trust me, unlike some kids pets don’t usually put their toys away. Having a special bin or basket like this one here is great for keeping your home organized. This one says Dog Toys, but there are other super fun cat toys bins as well like this one here.
11) Treat Jar
You may have already thought of this one, but I just couldn’t help but include it. One of the best ways to train your pets is through treats and having these fun treat jars is a great way to remind you of training as well as giving your new lovable companion something nice.
