Pets of the Week: Meet Otter and Sirius! 🐾

Otter is a 3-year-old, 45 lb hound mix with the sweetest face and the gentlest heart. This handsome boy is as friendly as they come—loving, easygoing, and always happy to be near his people. 🐶

Sirius is a 6-month-old black kitten with the sweetest personality and a bright, curious little mind. He’s the kind of kitten who explores first, asks questions later, and then curls up for snuggles when he’s done adventuring. 😺

If you're looking to add a new member to the family in the new year, come by and meet Otter, Sirius, and all of our other amazing shelter pets!

Meet Hoss! He is a 1-year-old, 55-lb brindle Bulldog mix with a big smile, a wagging tail, and the most affectionate personality.

Hoss is looking for a calm, adult-only home as the only pet, where he can soak up all the love and return it tenfold. 💛🐾

Meet Daisy Duke – Experienced Foster Needed! 🐾

Daisy Duke is a sweet Black Mouth Cur mix, about 47 lbs and 3 years, 8 months old. She’s dog-friendly and would thrive in a patient, dog-savvy foster home, ideally with a confident, friendly dog who can help show her the ropes.

Daisy is a sensitive, introverted girl who is still learning that the world isn’t so scary. She needs a calm, predictable environment, lots of patience, and consistent care to continue building her confidence.

A few things to know:
- Daisy needs help with ongoing socialization
- She can be a flight risk and requires secure handling
- Loud noises may scare her
- Best in a home without small children

With the right foster, Daisy has so much potential to shine. If you think you could be the perfect fit, please fill out a foster application here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/GCFM/Dog

Merry Christmas from all of us at Gulf Coast Humane Society ❤️

If you joined us yesterday for our Christmas tradition, thank you for being part of such a joyful, magical day. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

And guess what… all those pups you fell in love with yesterday are still here and ready to meet their new family!

Adoptions are still ½ price, because nothing says Christmas like bringing home a new best friend.

We open at noon, so come see us, say hello, and maybe leave with a little extra love on a leash.

Thank you for celebrating with us yesterday and for continuing to support the animals who make every day brighter.

p.s. Gator says, pick me!!!!
