Help Us Double Capacity to Serve Pets
To meet the growing demand for affordable veterinary services in Southwest Florida, we are launching the Paws for Wellness: Building a Healthier Tomorrow campaign — a bold step toward ensuring more pets receive the care they need by building the new Gulf Coast Humane Society Veterinary Clinic.

Your support provides safety, healing, and hope for pets in need and helps strengthen the bond between animals and people across Southwest Florida.

About Us
A Mission to Serve Pets
Dedicated to being a safe haven for pets in need by providing medical care, promoting adoptions, and nurturing the bond between pets and people in Southwest Florida.
In addition to our volunteer program, the Gulf Coast Humane Society offers opportunities for individuals to fulfill community service requirements while making a positive impact on the lives of animals.
GCHS proudly supports students who are completing required service hours. Opportunities are available both on-site and off-site:
We also accept court-ordered community service applicants who are 18 years or older. Volunteer Orientation is not required for these opportunities. To begin the process, please contact Melissa@gulfcoasthumanesociety.org. Please note that we are unable to accept applications from anyone with a felony record, or with current or prior charges related to Domestic Violence, Battery, or Animal Cruelty, as well as those with a history of violating county or state animal ordinances.
These community service programs allow individuals to give back to both the community and the animals who need them most, while also supporting the lifesaving mission of GCHS.
Students have several ways to earn volunteer service hours outside of the shelter while still making a big impact:
If you have court-ordered community service, your first step is to meet with the Volunteer Coordinator to review requirements and complete your sign-up.
Once approved, community service workers may complete hours seven days a week during regular business hours.
Your donations will help us build the new Gulf Coast Humane Society Veterinary Clinic!
