    After a devastatingly quick and unexpected decline and eventual loss of our 12-year-old Benji, we…read morewere heartbroken. We've always adopted rescues and began monitoring shelter dogs via the Adopt a Pet website. Jerry (now known as Ollie) came from the Gulf Coast Humane Society Adoption Center. We immediately went down to meet him and were lucky enough to take him home that day. He's the best addition to our home and has helped the healing process with his snuggles and sweetness. The process was incredibly easy, and they guided us every step of the way. Ollie was taken care of medically and healthwise, and they provided extensive medical history, future guidance, and referrals. I already walk my dog using the WoofTrax app with Gulf Coast Humane Society as my charity, and will be adding them to our regular donations. Thank you, GCHS Team, for all you do and the love you share. We may be adding to our family again, so we may see you again soon...

    I had a very disappointing experience with Gulf Coast Humane Society during my cat's neuter…read more I was already extremely nervous due to the surgery. During check-in, the veterinary technician was very kind and explained that he has a brachycephalic airway due to his facial structure. I asked if someone could call me once he was awake and doing well after surgery. She told me it would be better if I called around noon since that's when the cats are usually finished. When I called around noon, I was told his surgery hadn't even started because an emergency surgery came in and the dogs were being done before the cats. I completely understand that emergencies happen and should take priority. However, when I called again around 1:30 PM, his surgery still had not been performed. At that point, the staff member I spoke with was dismissive and rude. I was essentially told they have a high volume of spays and neuters and couldn't check on every cat. As a worried pet owner whose cat was under anesthesia for a scheduled procedure, I wasn't asking for constant updates--I simply wanted to know how he was doing. The most upsetting part happened after I picked him up. When I got him home, I discovered his entire backside was covered in blood. I immediately called the clinic and, after waiting on hold for about 10 minutes, was instructed to bring him back. Once we returned, I was told that the incision had not been fully closed. This should have been identified before he was discharged. A proper post-operative assessment should have caught this issue before sending him home. Seeing my cat covered in blood after surgery was incredibly distressing and completely avoidable. Unfortunately, this wasn't my first concerning experience at this facility. During a previous neuter visit with my other male cat, he could barely walk when he got home. While I appreciate that they now reverse the anesthesia, the overall experience still left me feeling that quality control and discharge assessments are lacking. I understand that shelters and high-volume clinics are busy, and I appreciate the veterinary technician who was compassionate during check-in. However, being busy should never come at the expense of patient safety or thorough post-operative care. I hope this review encourages the clinic to improve communication with pet owners and strengthen its discharge procedures so that no one else has to experience bringing their pet home in this condition.
