Once upon a time, there was a caring person who loved dogs and cats named Olivia. Every year she made ornaments for the GCHS giving tree for the shelter pets. And every year the shelter pets loved the gifts on Christmas Day. This year is no different. Olivia made the ornaments and our giving tree is full of gift ideas for our shelter pets. Stop by and pick up an ornament and buy a gift or simply buy a gift for a shelter pets and drop it by GCHS so Al l the shelter pets can have gifts on Christmas morning. #holidayseason #happydogs #happycats #holidaystory #christmasstory #southwestflorida

Enrichment is vital for our shelter dogs!
Taking them on car trips, enjoying walks outside the shelter, and participating in playgroups can make a world of difference in their lives. These experiences help reduce stress, improve social skills, and boost their overall well-being.
Let’s give these pups the love and adventure they deserve!

💔🐾 **Meet Dash ** 🐾💔
This is Dash, a sweet energetic boy who has spent more than half of his life in a kennel, waiting for a loving home to call his own. At four years old, Dash has seen countless faces come and go, yet he remains hopeful and full of love to give.
Dash’s spirit shines brightly. He adores belly rubs, enjoys long walks, and has a heart that’s ready to bond with someone special. Every day in the kennel is another day without the warmth of a family or the comfort of a couch.
Dash deserves a chance to experience the love and freedom that every dog dreams of. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your life with joy and gratitude, please consider adopting Dash. Let’s help him find his forever home where he can finally thrive!
🐶❤️ Please share this post to help spread the word about Dash! Together, we can make a difference in his life.
Our Adoptions open at noon today.
