🐾 Pets of the Week: Meet Solo & Luci! 🐶🐱

✨ Solo is an almost 7-year-old gentle soul with a heart of gold. Shy at first but deeply loving once he bonds, this sweet boy is the perfect quiet companion. He’s eligible for our Silver Paws VIP Program, making him a wonderful match for adopters 65+ who want to welcome a senior dog into their home. Solo is currently in training through the LCSO Cell Dog Program—call 239-332-0364 to schedule a meet-and-greet! 🖤🤍🐾

✨ Luci is a handsome 2-year-old black cat with a soft heart and a LOT to say! He may be nervous in new places, but once he feels safe, he becomes talkative, affectionate, and full of charm. This sweet boy is ready for a calm, loving home where he can blossom at his own pace. 🐱💙

Come meet Solo and Luci at Gulf Coast Humane Society and see why they’d make such wonderful additions to your family! 🏡💖
