It’s very nice to see that so many friends and supporters of Suncoast Humane Society are registering early. Riverwood is a wonderful course and this is a great event.

Suncoast Humane Society has been serving animals and people since 1971. Founded as Englewood Animal Aid Society, the organization’s services and programs were soon challenged to meet the demands placed on them by the pet over-population crises.
Expansions to their facility in Englewood during the 1980s and 1990s helped the Society to more effectively provide for a growing service area. To reflect the changes, the organization became Suncoast Humane Society. We serve more than 450 square miles in Southwest Florida including Charlotte County and portions of Sarasota and Lee counties.
