Westchase, Florida — The next time you go to the dentist, you can help the protected animals have a supper.

Westchase’s Dental Boutique donates food to the Humane Society in Tampa Bay every time it accepts a new patient.

Dr. Andrew Vallo has been vulnerable to animals in shelters since he hired his dog from a shelter in Ohio.

“When we first adopted the dog Sampson, he was very low weight and malnourished. He lacked hair,” Valo said.

Valo has made a pledge, and as he begins his own practice, he will find a way to give back.
