Monthly Adoption Events with Giveaways
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay conducts monthly adoption events with giveaways at Downtown Dogs (1631 W. Snow Circle) on the second Sunday of each month, 12–2 p.m., featuring adoptable pets and local vendor participation. These free events combine pet adoption with product giveaways. Petco Love Adopt partners with local shelters for in-store adoption events in Tampa Bay locations with live meet-and-greets, giveaways, and pet pantry donations. PetSmart Charities hosts "Adopt Joy" adoption events at Tampa-area locations including Walter's Crossing, featuring in-store meet-and-greets, available pets, and giveaways for attendees. All run continuously through 2026 with no entry fee.
Repticon Pet Expo in November
Repticon Pet Expo runs November 14–15, 2026 (Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.) at Florida State Fairgrounds Special Events Center, featuring pet vendors and product exhibitors. This is Tampa Bay's largest scheduled pet product event for the remainder of 2026. Vendor-specific giveaways and promotions are typical at expos of this scale.
Photo Contests Through October
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay operates an active 2026 calendar photo contest with prizes; entries cost $20, participants receive one 2026 calendar, and voting continues throughout the year. Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue's annual calendar contest runs through October 1, 2026, with fundraising donations converting to votes for giveaways supporting rescue dog care. Both combine photo submissions with fundraising for local rescues.
