PAWS of Hillsborough County is non-profit, 501-C-3, all volunteer, local grassroots charity that has served the community since 1996. Our goal has been to provide shelter, medical care, and adoption of abandoned, abused, and relinquished animals. PAWS also services the community by helping to provide Veterinary care for those who are financially unable to provide for their pets. We solely depend on the generosity and donations of those who wish to help us further our mission to provide assistance to both pets and pet owners.

He then went on to St. Pete College where he met the love of his life Peggy. After St. Pete College, he went to Florida Atlantic University where he graduated. He spent most of his working life in his family engineering business with his parents and his brother Bob. Keith will be remembered as the life of the party whether it will be memories of him running around the A & W in his younger years or enjoying his Miller Lite at his regular fests with family and friends. He enjoyed his golf outings, watching his favorite “Catfish” tv episodes, antiquing, spending time with his beloved and precious cats and his volunteer work with his organization he founded with Peggy, PAWS of Hillsborough County. His loved ones left behind are his sons, Brian (Denise) Wenzel and Chris (Julie) Wenzel; his grandchildren, Leilani, Mia, Peyton, Ryan, and Jhordan; his brother, Bob (Michelle); as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends who live on to carry out his legacy.
