About Us
For many years, a very few dedicated animal-lovers held fund-raising events. Their dream...to one day build a No-Kill Shelter for unwanted and misplaced animals.
That dream came true when the Shelter opened its doors in June 1997.
Operating expenses are kept to a minimum as the Shelter is operated primarily by volunteers and a few paid employees. Our Shelter Director works tirelessly with no compensation.
There are no holidays-animals must be fed and kennels and cages cleaned daily.
The GCHS Shelter is proud of its 90%(+) adoption rate. Our job is to take in the unwanted animals, but more importantly, it is to find them good, loving homes. Homes have been found for over 90% of the animals since we opened in 1997. Most shelters struggle to achieve a 15% adoption rate, so you can see why we are so proud of our success.
