With support from a grant backed by the ASPCA, GHHS works alongside the Landers McLarty team every October to make an even bigger impact for the pets in our care and in the community.
October has grown into something much bigger than just one event. Around here, it is officially ADOPTober!
It’s going to be a busy month, and we are HERE for it and we hope you are too! From adoptables and fundraising (our goal is $10,000!) to special events and community fun, there’s a lot happening all month long.
Stay tuned! We’ll keep adding details as more ADOPTober fun is confirmed.
Thu, Oct 1: Kickoff! Something BIG is coming. Stay tuned!
