DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A. proudly supported SPCA Tampa Bay’s “Clear the Shelters” event on August 26. With our donation, along with other community sponsors, an impressive 122 fee-waived adoptions took place, creating forever homes for 57 cats, 38 dogs, 14 guinea pigs, 8 rabbits, and 4 pigs. This unprecedented turnout is a testament to our collective commitment to animal welfare. This event marked a historic milestone for SPCA Tampa Bay, as it saw the highest number of adoptions ever achieved during Clear the Shelters. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to every fortunate pet and their new families. Beyond the numbers, this occasion provided an opportunity for their dedicated staff and volunteers to pause, take a breath, and rejoice in the arrival of autumn, signaling the end of the sweltering summer months. It was truly a celebration of compassion and community.
32nd Annual Pet Walk
April 15, 2023
Heartfelt thanks to the DHC/STC Legal Beagle donors who helped make this year’s Pet Walk a success! Attorney Rep DeLoach had the tough job of judging the cutest costumes for the Pet Costume Contest. “Pupcorn” took this year’s prize for their creative theme. With DHC/STC as a Bronze Sponsor, this year’s event raised over $171,000. The Legal Beagles contributed over $2,000 and were the 12th-highest fundraising team out of 65. As appreciation gifts, Legal Beagle donors received our new “Legal Beagles” cowboy koozie and sticker. The much-needed funds raised help to rescue and rehabilitate homeless and suffering animals in our community.

Giddy up, little doggies! The DHC/STC Legal Beagles brought home our first trophy this year from the 2022 Pinellas Park Firefighters Chili Blaze! Our western theme won 2nd place in the Best Decor category. We had a photo station with a wanted sign for little outlaws, saloon props, and chili crew gussied up in cowboy boots. We had a blazin’ good time serving up probate assistant April Ellison’s award-winning beef and pork chili. Our posse of Simone DeLoach, Angela Durham, April Ellison, Ashleigh Fisichella, Margaux Herodet, Alexa Kunzig, Emily Poole, Pattie Robinson, Sharon Touchton, and co-captains Joe Murphy and Kathy Carpenter served nearly 600 bowls of April’s chili! DHC was a lead sponsor of the event, which benefited the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Tampa Bay. These funds help those suffering from Muscular Dystrophy by providing medical equipment, treatments, and a summer camp for children. See the January–March 2021 issue of the Navigator for April’s recipe.
