The SPCA of Tampa Bay has the best weight loss motivation for you. Adopt a dog and you'll have endless reasons to daily walking exercise. Let's be frank, for many people excessive eating happens when bored, tired and feeling unappreciated. Yet food is a temporary fix, bringing more frustration and less satisfaction. 
When you find that special four-legged friend, dog or cat, you will find that boredom is gone. Pets have a
remarkable way of entertaining as they play. If you arrive home exhausted and flop on the sofa to reach for a bag of chips, you will find more joy when the dog snuggles up to you. As for satisfaction, you are giving a second chance to a dog or cat who was rejected and mistreated yet does not understand why
When the pet who cowered in fear at every movement is replaced by running to jump in your lap with glee, then you have given the gift of trust to a pet who just wants a lifelong friend. These pictures of Cooper (dog) and Taz (cat) are from the SPCA photo preview gallery of pets who want to be your friend.
The SPCA of Tampa Bay offers 50% discount on dog and cat adoptions thru May 31. Visit theiSPCA to see the darling dogs, cats, puppies and kittens of all breeds and sizes. Just as the recession has caused families to lose their homes to foreclosures, there are pet foreclosure victims too. Some thoughtless people who are forced out of their homes merely leave their pets behind. These pets don't understand foreclosure, they just know sadness and desperately want to a good home. Adopt a pet this week and both of you will benefit for many happy years.
