The Suncoast Humane Society is a wonderful organization that does fantastic things! They continue to find innovative ways to help pets and the people who love them by providing services such as the preventive health clinic (to offer low-cost spay and neuter services along with vaccination low cost) and the Pet Pantry Program (by partnering with Meals on Wheels and other organizations) to aid pet owners, so they will not be forced to surrender their animals or put their health at risk due to lack of, or poor nourishment.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
When my Girl Scout troop talked about making the world a better place, the girls decided that they wanted to help animals. They were able to tour the Suncoast Humane Society and decided to become "Shelter Angels" to both a cat and a dog. Since then, a few of the girls have adopted pets from the humane society, and the girls had the opportunity to visit again during Pet Appreciation Day. They are hoping to go back again soon and would like to do more for the animals.

In 2002, I was living alone, and decided that I wanted to open my home to a shelter animal. I went to Suncoast Humane Society and they showed me several animals that were in need of a loving home. Among them was a scruffy pup named "Muffin" who had the most beautiful brown eyes. I fell in love instantly. The volunteers at Suncoast made the adoption experience so wonderful and easy. I'm now married and have a young daughter... and when the time comes to open our home again, Suncoast will be the first, and I'm sure the ONLY, place that we will go to find our new family member!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
how well cared for the shelter animals are.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
loving and knowledgable. They are there because they WANT to help animals.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make even more comfortable arrangements for the wonderful animals that are waiting for their new families to come find them!
Ways to make it better...
there weren't so many animals needing a home.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
people who don't care enough to spay or neuter their pets, or who don't breed RESPONSIBLY.
One thing I'd also say is that...
a shelter pet is the most wonderful gift you can give yourself. They love and appreciate their new family so much more than a pet who has never had a bad experience.

Back when hurricane Katrina struck new orleans, the vets office i worked for wanted to help the animals. We placed an add in the north port paper asking people for donations of pet food and supplies. to our suprise the demand was overwhelming. We filled TWO LARGE Uhauls with stuff.To our dismay the company that agreed to get it to the animals in need backed out on us. but suncoast was there with open arms. we dropped off all of our supplies and they made sure to get it to all the animals in dire need.

I love this charity, and I donate ALL my items to their thrift store, all my extra supplies go to the shelter. They are a no-kill shelter that needs our help because so many people are irresponsible pet owners. The pets need all our help to find a great home! Suncoast does their part for the animals, and we need to do our part for Suncoast! Thanks Guys!

I enjoy being a volunteer to such a wonderful organization. The organization is well managed and takes expert care of all the animals. You can always depend on adopting an animal that has been well taken care of while in their care.

The management at Suncoast Humane is top-notch and very innovative in their approach to running the facility and fund-raising. I really appreciate how affordable the adoption fees and animal vaccinations are. It really helps potential adopters. It's a wonderful place to volunteer. I love being around others who care so much about animal welfare.

About 4 years ago, one of my kitties went unexpectedly over the rainbow bridge. A few months later, we had room in our home and hearts for another rescue kitty. We searched Suncoast's website and saw a beautiful medium haired, persian/siamese color kitten with blue eyes and plume tail! When we inquired about her, we were told she was being treated in a foster home for a respiratory illness and wouldn't be ready for adoption for a few days. When she became available, I traveled two hours to meet her at a volunteer's home. The Foster Mom, Kathy, brought her over and it was love at first site. Our new baby Pahio was welcomed into the family and has even been a "kitty of the month" in the Suncoast Annual calender. Suncoast does good things for the animals and all the people I've come in contact with there have been fantastic. They care about the animals!!!

I previously was a dog walker but had to change into a job a little easier. All the people at the shelter are very caring and loving toward all the animals in their care. I support any and all of their fundraising efforts. I recently adopted a dog last month and am very happy with my choice. He is a wonderful happy dog and loves us as much as we love him. He deserved a good home and Suncoast Humane Society were very helpful with the adoption

They are not wasteful with the funds they receive. Money is spent for much needed things.

Getting enough money from grants and donations.
One thing I'd also say is that...
It's a great non profit organization and deserving of all the donations they receive. They get 100% of everything there are no fund raising fees involved by professional funraisers
