Be a Volunteer With the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society!

Mission Statement:
Guided by the principles that every life has value and is worthy of respect and protection, and that animals contribute positively to the health, happiness, and quality of human life, the GMHS mission is to serve both animals and people by strengthening the human-animal bond as we build a more humane community.

Vision:
The Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society looks toward a day when all domestic and companion animals are ensured a responsible caring environment for their lifetime, and when all animals are respected and protected.

Our role in the community:
Started in 1912 to serve Gloucester and Mathews counties, the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society is a non-profit organization. Only a small percentage of operating funds come from the counties of Gloucester, Mathews, and Middlesex. The rest comes from fundraising efforts by volunteers, grants, and other sources.
