Pet Adoption Port Charlotte FL

Here at Suncoast Humane Society, we take our animal adoptions very seriously but our policies are simple. We have an obligation to see every animal adopted into a responsible home. We only place animals with caring people who are concerned with the well-being of the animal.

Adoption Hours are:

Tuesday - Friday 11:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Saturday 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM

We are closed Sunday and Monday. We are unable to process adoptions 30 minutes prior to closing so that we can feed and care for the animals.

We have several Satellite Adoption Centers as well. Currently, some of our adoptable cats are available at Pet Supermarket in Englewood and North Port and Petco in Port Charlotte and Venice.

Adopters must meet these guidelines:

• 18 years of age
• Valid ID with name and current address; and
• Landlord and/or parental verification

Adoptions may be restricted:

• During certain holiday periods;
• By limiting the adoption of certain animals, breeds, or ages to families with children or elderly.

• A complimentary bag of Hills Science Diet pet food.
• A complete medical history showing all of the care, shots, and tests that were administered to the animal during its shelter stay
