In 2013, PCAS saw a need to found a Hoarding Task Force. Since it's inception, the HTF 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 issue and animal hoarders are not malicious individuals, merely overwhelmed caregivers who require assistance and sensitivity to their unique situations.
Task Force Members:
*Humane Services
*Fire Rescue
*Sheriffs Department
*County Code Enforcement
*BayCare
*CARES (Elderly Assistance)
*Pasco County Animal Services
*Health Department
*Pasco County Customer Service
