WHO WE ARE
The GCHS is a nonprofit, volunteer organization whose primary mission
is to reduce the number of unwanted animals through promoting spaying
and neutering by providing financial assistance to residents.
We also respond to reports of animal neglect and offer supportive
services at the County shelter.
WHAT WE DO
-
Promote
responsible animal care and the importance of having pets spayed/neutered.
- Provide discount vouchers to those who need to have their pet
spayed/neutered.
- Provide limited monetary assistance for emergencies.
-
Work
with the local government to support and improve animal welfare
and control.
- Receive and respond to animal neglect reports.
Though we are not an animal shelter, we do provide supportive services
to the County Animal Shelter such as:
-
Promote
animal adoptions by photographing adoptables to feature in The
Republican, Petfinder.com and on the Very Best Pet Network adoption
board at Wal-mart.
- Transport animals from the shelter to an Animal Hospital for
emergency treatment then pay the medical bill.
- Assist the local “rescue” with transporting animals.
