Our
Mission
Our mission is to be a passionate advocate for the
lives of companion animals by finding quality forever homes, providing community
education, and promoting responsible animal ownership.
The Green County Humane Society
(GCHS) is comprised of an estimated 500 members, dedicated shelter staff, volunteers,
Board of Directors, and a growing network of foster homes. Due to the commitment of these
people, the GCHS has gone from a 62% kill rate in 1999 to a NO-KILL status. Our mission
includes:
1. Promoting compassionate and
appropriate treatment of animals throughout Green and Lafayette
Counties.
2. Realizing the need to educate
the general public in areas of animal care, especially the need for spaying and neutering
of animals to prevent further overpopulation.
3. Diligently assisting law
enforcement and the general public in the effort to end animal
abuse.
4. Devoted to the search for
quality homes for every adoptable animal that comes into the
shelter.
5. GCHS is dedicated to expanding
the knowledge of and protection of animals we share our lives and world
with.
