Since its founding in 1912, Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society has strived to protect animals. With the mission to be a beacon in animal adoption, welfare, and advocacy, GMHS continues to provide life-saving services to pets in need from the Middle Peninsula to the Northern Neck and beyond. Compared to last year, the number of pets cared for by GMHS has more than doubled. With increased demand for services comes even more opportunities to partner with GMHS to save more lives.
