Talk Fusion Gives Dogs a Second Chance
Through the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Talk Fusion helped create a new area called the Second Chance Patio, built specifically for larger, older dogs that are more difficult to get adopted. Here, they are safe until they find a permanent home.
Talk Fusion Founder and CEO, Bob Reina, and VP Training & Development Allison Roberts, were recently elected to the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. They are dedicated to helping provide a voice for helpless animals, helping them find forever homes, increasing donations to the Humane Society and lowering euthanasia rates. As Board Members, they and Talk Fusion will continue to be instrumental in bringing projects like this to reality.
Here's a recent news clip on this exciting Second Chance Patio.

Bob Reina first gained fame when he heard about the plight of a stray dog found at a phosphate mine with a missing leg and broken jaw from an alligator attack.
Bob took over her care and paid for all of her medical bills and in the process, fell in love with "Bindi" and adopted her when she recovered. He says he gave her a second chance at life. Now he wants to do that on a much grander scale for the animals at Hillsborough County Animal Services.

Talk Fusion Founder & CEO, Bob Reina, presented the Humane Society of Tampa Bay 60 Kuranda Dog Beds. "We are just trying to be part of the Solution," says Bob. "It's our way of helping pets in our area that can't help themselves. We want them to rest easy."

TAMPA — Thanks to one dog's run-in with an alligator, thousands of other Hillsborough County strays will sleep more comfortably.
You may recall the story of Bindi, the shepherd mix found grievously injured near an east county mining pit this summer. The pup's left front leg had been stripped to the bone. Animal rescue workers suspected an alligator.
In stepped Bob Reina, chief executive of a tech company, who paid for a lifesaving amputation and heartworm treatment for Bindi. Then he adopted her.
Now, Reina is going two steps better.

Activist Seeks End to Animal Euthanasia
By MIKE SALINERO
The Tampa Tribune
TAMPA - Bob Reina, successful businessman and animal lover, has a goal of eliminating animal euthanasia in Hillsborough County.
It's a tall order. The county's Animal Services euthanizes about 20,000 unwanted animals a year. But Reina says he thinks he can use video and Internet technology to tap into the public's vast reservoir of compassion and find help.
On Thursday, the county commission accepted Reina's offer to use his Talk Fusion video marketing company to boost donations and volunteerism at the county's animal shelter on Falkenburg Road.
