Q:  What is the difference between the Gulf Coast Humane

      Society and other animal welfare organizations that

      solicit funds from me through the mail (such as

      Humane Society of the United States, PETA, American

      Humane, ASPCA, Friends of Animals, etc.)?

A:  While all these organizations work to help all kinds of animals, what sets GCHS apart from the national organizations is that it operates a local shelter that receives and houses animals with a trackable adoption program. GCHS works directly with members of its local community to find homes for homeless pets, helps increase the value of companion animals, and solve training and behavior difficulties.
