CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — The "Clear the Shelters" is celebrating its 11th anniversary and aims to find homes for pets in need.
Since its start, the campaign has helped over 900,000 animals find permanent homes and raised over $500,000 to support overcrowded shelters facing urgent challenges, including potential euthanasia. This year, it continues its mission to help struggling shelters.
The Gulf Coast Humane Society is actively participating here in the Coastal Bend, preparing dozens of animals for adoption as part of the initiative.
From Aug. 1 through Aug. 31, you can easily donate online and on all social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Thursday's Pet - August 7 - Rufio

Hi, I’m Rufio! I was dumped outside of GCHS with 6 other cats in pretty bad shape. I’ve come a long way, healing both mentally and physically. Now that I know I’m safe, I love to show everyone my HUGE personality! My personality might be too big to have other cats or dogs around. Show me some love so I can show you how I make biscuits and give you lots of love nibbles.
Rufio is a 7-year-old Domestic Shorthair. He has been at the Gulf Coast Humane Society since Feb. 24, 2025. Stop by and say hello to your new best bud!
