My story

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

Mario says, “It’s-a me! Pick me! Mario is a young tabby boy with one very important life mission: find a friend who will CHASE him and keep up with his wild, goofy energy! He’s also mysteriously fascinated by dogs — not scared, not brave… just standing there like, “Interesting creature. Tell me more.” He also loves following you around the room like your tiny, nosey intern, supervising everything you do. He’s not always big on being pet, but once he warms up, he’ll accept a polite little head scratch. And every now and then, he’ll even have a full conversation with you — meow for meow. This boy is VERY food and treat motivated. He’ll remind you. Repeatedly. He also loves toys… but beware: If it has paper, stuffing, or loose bits, he may try to eat it…..He claims it’s “texture enrichment.” We disagree.When he’s not causing mischief, he enjoys cat trees, high places, and feeling like the king surveying his kingdom.

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.
