Gulf Coast Humane Society's Mission Statement

Gulf Coast Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, no-kill, animal welfare organization established as the first non-profit animal welfare organization in southwest Florida in 1947. 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 of caring for the neglected and abandoned pets of Southwest Florida. As a no-kill facility, the pets of the Gulf Coast Humane Society remain in our care until they find their forever home. 

Our mission is to provide humane care for surrendered animals by offering refuge, providing medical care, and facilitating an adoptive home. Each year we take in more than 3,000 animals in need of compassionate care. 

The work we do to care for these animals is all possible thanks to the support of those of you in the community who care deeply about the welfare of homeless pets. They thank you - and so do we.

 Pet overpopulation continues in our area and the GCHS Spay/Neuter Clinic will help those in our community who lack affordable, accessible pet care that most of us take for granted.  It is projected that Lee County alone has over 645,000 companion pets and nationwide, the percentage of pets living in communities who are not spayed or neutered is estimated at 87%.  With the help of the Florida Animal Friend Grant program we will be able to focus efforts on the Pit Bull and Pit Bull mix in the Lehigh Acres area.
