TAMPA, Fla.—A new virtual kennel in Hillsborough County could help get pets reunited with their owners quicker and make adoptions simpler.

Hillsborough County upped its game and made improvements to the way people look for pets at the Pet Resource Center.

The new system gives more information to people looking at pets in PRC’s care.

The system, called ADOPT, has individualized pet profiles, real-time on which dogs and cats are at the shelter and their status, and detailed search options for those looking for specific characteristics in a pet such as breed, sex, or age.

The online kennel lets people filter their searches and narrow down what they’re looking for in a pet or to see if their lost cat or dog is in the shelter.

The ADOPT online kennel system can be accessed by computer or mobile device.
