TRUSTS
Ensuring the Care of
Your Beloved Companion
For many of us, our pets are more than just 
animals—they are family. At Silvers Law, P.A., we 
understand that planning for the future of your 
pets is as important as any other aspect of your 
estate plan. We will help you navigate the legal 
process of creating a pet trust, ensuring that 
your beloved companion will receive the care they 
deserve, regardless of what the future holds.

      Today, PRC is a warm, welcoming destination — not the 
cold, concrete shelter people remember. Our staff reflect the 
diversity and heart of Hillsborough County. We value personal 
relationships with our stakeholders, and decisions are made 
with full participation and among cross-functional shelter team 
members. We strive to be the best resource for the community 
and its pets.  
      The PRC’s evolution from “the pound” to a dynamic, 
people-centered service proves what’s possible when a com-
munity believes in compassion. The best way to fully under-
stand what’s changed is to see it for yourself. We invite readers 
of The New Barker to visit us — schedule a behind-the-scenes 
tour and meet the staff who make lives better every day. 
Pawdition Program at Pet Resource Center 
Dogs and cats may be taken home for a trial run – an audi-
tion of sorts – to see if everyone fits. A Pawditioning pet stays 
with the potential adopter for about a week or two while 
auditioning for their forever home. This also allows the pet to 
settle in around a home environment, giving them a break 
from shelter life. Pets may be brough back to PRC for any 
reason during the pawdition period. It’s a judgement-free 
zone. The pawdition process is simple and doesn't take much 
time. It begins by looking at the Pet Resource Center's Online 
Kennel. Then, call 813.301.7387 or email 
PetInfo@HCFLGov.net to set up a meet-and-greet.
