In 2013, PCAS saw a need to found a Hoarding Task Force. Since its inception, the task force has assisted in over 30 hoarding cases countywide. The team is comprised of a variety of groups to help cover all aspects of animal hoarding. Hoarding in any capacity is a mental health issue. Animal hoarders are not malicious individuals, but rather, overwhelmed caregivers who require assistance and sensitivity to their unique situations.
Task Force Members:
*Humane Services
*Fire Rescue
*Sheriff's Office
*County Code Enforcement
*BayCare
*CARES (Elderly Assistance)
*Pasco County Animal Services
*Health Department
*Pasco County Customer Service
