My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mercury—affectionately known as “Merky, Turkey”—is an absolute sweetheart. Since joining us on October 16th, he’s made remarkable strides in his training. He now walks comfortably on a leash for up to an hour, eagerly anticipating his daily outings and showing his excitement with joyful jumps when it’s his turn. Mercury is easy to walk, relishing the scents along the way and taking time to mark as he goes. He’s learned to kennel up on command, especially when rewarded with a small treat, and has no trouble sleeping through the night in his kennel. Bath time is smooth whether it’s in the tub or outside in the yard. Mercury is quite observant; he often waits until we start our meal before eating his own. While he’s still a bit anxious in the car, he continues to make progress.
His beautiful multicolored brown eyes seem almost expressive enough to speak. It’s been effortless forming a bond with him—he greets us each morning and after errands with uncontainable excitement. Mercury loves playing with other dogs and enjoys hanging out in the yard while we’re working outside.

More about this shelter

Gulf Coast Humane Society is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter that houses hundreds of adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.

We were founded on January 15th, 1945 by a group of animal lovers with Frances Weil leading the cause. In April of 1998, we began operating out of our current facility which was donated to us by Tom and Cora Keeler.

Since our beginning, we have been dedicated to providing the best care possible to the animals under our roof. Our mission is to find loving, responsible forever homes for all of the orphaned animals at GCHS.

All of our adoptable animals are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, and free of parasites such as fleas and ticks.

Upon adoption, new pet parents are sent home with their new dog's first 6 months of heartworm prevention, a starter bag of food, and a voucher for a free wellness exam at participating veterinarians.

Cats are sent home with a starter bag of food and a wellness exam voucher. A temporary transportation box is also provided.

If you fall in love with a heartworm positive dog, we provide treatment at no extra cost to you.
