Home To Home

Home to Home helps pets go from one home to another, without ever entering a shelter. This program helps reduce stress on owners, pets, and animal shelters, and is used in shelters all over the country. To rehome your pet, or find a pet to adopt, visit here.

How Home To Home Works

Pets listed in the Southwest Florida area Home to Home website are shared on the Gulf Coast Humane Society Facebook page. Potential adopters will communicate directly with owners regarding their adoptable pet. Owners remain in charge of the entire rehoming process, pets stay out of the shelter avoiding stress and anxiety and adopters get to communicate with owners providing them with the opportunity to learn about their prospective new pet.

It’s free to use for both owners and adopters, and gives animals needing a new home the best of both worlds: their current owner can find the best fit, and their adopter can learn all about their personality and preferences first-hand. It’s a win-win for all!

Give up your pet without taking them to a shelter

Review our Tips for Rehoming Your Pet.
Don’t rush! Take time to find your furry friend the best new home.
Increase your pet’s adoptability by having them spayed/neutered, groomed and vaccinated.
Tell your friends, family, coworkers and social networks that your pet is looking for a new home. The more people who know you need help, the better your chances of finding your pet a new family.
No one knows your pet better than you do! While interviewing potential adopters, be sure to share your expectations for your pet’s new home and be sure to ask questions to identify a home that will be a good fit for your pet.
Create a listing for your pet on the following websites, which specialize in connecting pets who need a good home with families looking to adopt!

It is the responsibility of current owners to disclose any bite history to potential adopters. Rehoming platforms connect people looking to rehome their pets with interested adopters. The pets featured are not animals at Gulf Coast Humane Society and require direct communication with their caregivers through the platform itself. It is the responsibility of the individuals who express interest in a particular pet listed on these pages to obtain and verify information about the pet’s medical, behavior and bite history. All information contained in the pets’ description page has been provided by their caregiver. Gulf Coast Humane Society does not verify the accuracy of the information provided.

Gulf Coast Humane Society is 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.

Our shelter does not receive any federal, state, or county funding and no funding from the Humane Society of the United States or ASPCA. We rely solely on donations, grants, bequests, and fundraising events to further our mission as stated above.

We are the most tenured 501(c)3 nonprofit, no-kill, animal welfare organization established in 1947 in Southwest Florida.
