Join us at Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society (6620 Jackson Lane, Gloucester, VA) on Wednesday, November 12, at 1:00 p.m. for a special Pet Story Time event!
Enjoy hot cocoa, cookie decorating, and a holiday craft, plus meet Ted Costin, author of “The Cat Who Came Back for Christmas.”
This heartwarming story from Christian Faith Publishing shares a family’s Christmas miracle — when a beloved pet’s spirit returns to spend one last holiday with the people who loved her most.
Fun Fact: The cats featured in this touching book came from GMHS!
The event is free and open to all ages — we can’t wait to celebrate the magic of the season (and pets!) with you.
Join us for a fun-filled afternoon at our Trick or Treat! Enjoy candy and treats, a scavenger hunt, crafts, games, and more while exploring our shelter.
We kindly suggest bringing a donation of a pet supply item to help support our animals in need.
Join us in the GMHS Lobby for Adopt a Stuffy!
Children are invited to choose a stuffed pet, make a collar for their new friend, give them a name, and receive an official adoption certificate. We’ll provide all the supplies—just bring your creativity and excitement!
This family-friendly event is open to all ages, and no registration is required. Stop by anytime between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on November 15. Donations are kindly suggested to support the pets of GMHS.
For questions or more details, please email outreach@gmhumanesociety.org.
