On Saturday, January 26, animal lovers from throughout the region took to The Abingdon Ruritan Club for Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society's Mad Hatter Gala & Auction, the organization's premier fundraiser. As GMHS receives limited funding from local governments, the shelter and homeless pets whose lives they save depend largely on the event's success, and Saturday's event did not disappoint

The Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society was recently presented with a $15,000 donation from the Animal Care Society. The donation will benefit the Spay/Neuter Clinic located in White Marsh, Virginia, and be administered by GMHS.

Gloucester, Va., (December 3, 2018) -- Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society (GMHS) celebrated its annual Holiday Open House Sunday, December 2, 2018.
