FORT MYERS, Fla. — Dogs at the Gulf Coast Humane Society have been battling the intense Florida heat without air conditioning and now it’s not going to be a cheap fix.

“This was a very unexpected expense for three new air conditioning units,” said Brian Wierima with the Gulf Coast Humane Society. He said two AC units in their kennels broke last week and now a third one is broken.

“80-plus degree weather, temperatures for that amount of time are just very dangerous, very dangerous,” Wierima explained.

The units that broke last week are now up and running, but the last one still needs to be fixed.

Peter Kolter was dropping off donations of clean bedding and told us, “That’s really sad but the people here are very capable and compassionate. I’m sure they can handle whatever’s happening.”

Now these pups need your help to cool off.

“Help us offset some of these costs because we are a nonprofit,” Wierima asked.
