TLC Community Outreach

At TLC Animal Hospital, we believe all animals should be able to receive affordable veterinary services, including spay/neuter and vaccines, regardless of their owner’s hardships. We have partnered with Pinellas County Animal Services to help make that possible, and we aim to help over 300-400 families in 2024.
