WAL-MART AND PURINA
partners in the Very Best Pet Network

The Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society has been selected as a participant in the Very Best Pet Network. This program is the first-ever totally integrated, national consumer marketing campaign to save shelter animals created by the American Humane Association in partnership with Purina and local Wal-Mart stores throughout the country.

Wal-Mart has played a tremendously valuable role in our shelter’s adoption program as many animals have been adopted by folks who’ve stopped by our “display” area to visit with the animals or saw their future animal companion on the store’s adoption board. Seeing these animals leave the shelter, their tails wagging with delight has brought many a tear to our eyes and at the same time many smiles on our faces. We receive many letters accompanied by photos from those who have adopted from the Humane Society. These letters will forever serve as reminders of the powerful love that other living beings stir in our hearts and the profound effect they have on our lives.

The next time you are at Wal-Mart, don’t forget to look at all the pets that we have available for adoption at the shelter. The adoption boards are located in both entrance concourses.

We are also at Wal-Mart every Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with shelter animals that are ready to be adopted into a good home and eagerly awaiting to be part of that special family for life.

Thank You Wal-Mart and Purina for becoming our partners in the
Very Best Pet Network!
