Dear Friends and Supporters:
We have diagnosed canine influenza in our population, and public access to kennels is limited during this time to protect the dogs in our care as well as yours at home. As such, we are pressing pause on dog meet and greets, adoptions, and intakes until further notice. Canine influenza is not transmissible to people, cats, birds, or small animals, and our Cat Mall and small animal room remain open to visitors and adoptions.
The GMHS team has implemented stringent cleaning and isolation protocols to promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of all. You will be heartened to know symptomatic dogs are doing well, and we are incredibly thankful to you for ensuring GMHS has the resources available to provide affected dogs with the time, space, care, and compassion to make a full recovery.
We remain committed to keeping you informed with timeliness and transparency, and thank you for your patience and support during this time.
--The GMHS Team

What to Know when Visiting GMHS:
EVERYONE
ADOPTERS and VISITORS
EVERYONE
- Masks are required for GMHS team members (staff and volunteers) regardless of vaccination status. We strongly encourage visitors to wear masks regardless of their vaccination status.
- Please continue to be mindful and respectful of each others' space.
ADOPTERS and VISITORS
- No appointments are required to visit! This means you can stop by anytime during business hours, which are Monday and Wednesday from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Thursday to Saturday 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and Sunday 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM. We will remain closed on Tuesday.
- If you are considering adoption, submit an adoption questionnaire prior to your visit. Click here to get started. This will allow our adoption team to contact your veterinarian for records and/or your landlord for permission, as well as discovering the personality and pet that will be best suited for your family. We will continue to conduct adoptions by appointment. This ensures prospective adopters have the benefit of uninterrupted time with our team members and pets during meet and greet appointments. Please call our Adoption Team at 804-693-5520 ext 102 with questions about the adoption process.
- To surrender a pet, please call 804-693-5520 ext 102 or email animalplacement@gmhumanesociety.org to schedule an intake appointment.
