Love this place!! The volunteers are always so friendly and helpful
They truly love animals and go to great lengths to make sure the animals are well cared for!
Also a great place to have a kids birthday party! My grandson had his there today
Extremely enjoyable
The volunteers were great with the kids too
Today is the 1yr anniversary of adopting Ruca now known as Rosie. She is such a sweet girl and just loves love. She’s our fur baby ❤️ thank you for taken such good care of her while she waited for her forever family. We are blessed to have her.
This shelter is pristine. It is in a great location, back away from the busy road and other businesses. Everyone who works there is helpful and friendly. You can tell the animals are really well cared for.
I adopted my dog from there about a year ago and have started fostering for them recently. If you have a little extra time and space you should totally fill out a foster application! It has been so fun to have five kittens and multiple sets of puppies (at diff times)
If you are considering getting a pet, I highly recommend Gloucester Matthews Humane Society! They have dogs, cats and some small animals, too. Adopt, don’t shop!!!
Nice, bright, airy and clean building, decorated nicely inside and landscaped well outside with a very friendly, caring, and helpful staff. It seems as if they have outgrown this location, however, as half of the cats enclosures (each has its own split level 2½ story townhouse with plenty of room to move about. They are not stuck in a small cage like you would see at the vet where they are recovering and not encouraged to mive about for their own safety and well-being) are lined up against the walls in the hallways making it a bit difficult to be able to take your time and get a good look at them. I felt a bit rushed (perhaps of my own anxiety of being in a wheelchair and taking up the rest of the walkway) as I was blocking others from being able to pass by, and that I couldn’t take as much time as I would have liked with the ones in the facility hallways. My issue, not theirs! They would’ve let me look as long as i wanted to. I only looked at the cats, which were all very well cared for and as happy and healthy as they could be considering their circumstance. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about each animal separately, and I really appreciated their ability to match a pet and new owner based on each ones personality and history. I absolutely trusted them in helping me to make the right choice in what will be a monumentally important and long-term decision that will impact a large portion of my and the pets life. I took away ½ star only because the facility needs more room to show their cats (not sure about the dogs’ area). Highly recommend! 4½ stars.
This is Orion which we recently adopted. He is a purrfect addition to our family and so much fun to have. He loves raspberries and bananas. Thank you guys so much for another wonderful pet for our family!!! You guys are amazing 🩵
