When Pugsy arrived at Gulf Coast Humane Society in August, she was barely holding on. At just 5 years old, her body and legs were so painfully swollen she was almost completely immobile. She had been cast aside, sad, alone, and forgotten. Her condition was so dire that it was clear she had run out of hope. But we refused to give up on her.

Day by day, Pugsy got stronger. Her swelling eased, her eyes brightened, and her tail began to wag again. We watched her transform—not just physically, but emotionally. She went from a broken soul to a joyful, vibrant dog who was finally ready to love and be loved again.

This past weekend, Pugsy’s journey came full circle when she was adopted by a family who will cherish her for the rest of her life. Her story is a testament to what’s possible when compassion meets action—but none of it would have been possible without you.

Today is Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your support to help more animals like Pugsy. Thanks to a generous $10,000 matching gift from San Jacinto Title, your donation will be doubled! Every dollar goes toward providing life-saving medical care, nourishment, and the love these animals desperately need.

Pugsy found her second chance because of donors like you. Will you help us give that same hope to the next animal in need? Donate today, and be a part of the miracle. 💙🐾

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday—a day to come together for animals who need us the most. Every day, we see dogs and cats who have been abandoned, neglected, or left with no one to turn to. But with your support, we can give them hope. 💙

Your donation provides food, medical care, and the chance for a second chance. And thanks to a $10,000 matching gift from San Jacinto Title, your gift will have double the impact. Together, we can change lives.

In October, Coffee’s story broke our hearts. She was found abandoned in a vacant house, alone with her newborn puppies, doing everything in her power to shield them from harm. With no one to turn to and nowhere to go, Coffee’s only focus was keeping her babies safe. Every sound, every approaching person was a potential danger. She didn’t know the people trying to help were there to save her—she only knew she had to protect her family.

The longer she stayed in that empty house, the more her stress grew. She couldn’t rest, couldn’t trust, couldn’t let her guard down. By the time Corpus Christi Animal Care Services (CCACS) arrived, Coffee was exhausted—physically and emotionally. But they didn’t give up on her. Cynthia Martinez and her team brought her into their care, giving her the time and space she so desperately needed to decompress.

While we wanted to bring Coffee and her puppies into our shelter right away, we knew it wasn’t safe for her or our staff. She was still too scared, too protective. Our nursery requires mothers to be leashed and moved for cleaning, something Coffee wasn’t ready for. Instead, CCACS provided her with a nurturing environment where she could feel secure.

For weeks, our team visited Coffee at CCACS, patiently earning her trust. Each visit, she started to see us not as a threat but as friends. Slowly, the fear in her eyes softened. Her body relaxed. Her heart began to heal.

Today, we are finally excited to share Coffee is still coming out of her shell, but she’s more herself than ever. She’s no longer the frightened mother who saw the world as a threat. She’s playful, goofy, and full of love—a dog who’s finally free to enjoy life. Every day, she shows us more of her true, beautiful spirit.

Last week, we received an urgent call about a cruelty-case dog in critical condition—Scout. When Officer Herrera first found him, it seemed as though it was too late, but Scout was still fighting. Our team immediately stepped in late in the day Friday to help stabilize him and provide vital care, medications, and SubQ fluids to hydrate and support him through his recovery. We strive to help our local municipal shelters with cases such as this whenever we can. Thanks to our thriving partnership, Nueces County Animal Services is expected to achieve no-kill status for the month of November! This holiday season, please consider supporting our mission of saving lives https://givebutter.com/gchscc
