The Galveston Island Humane Society (GIHS) is an open-admittance shelter. Every year, more than 1,800 animals come through our shelter doors. GIHS has a contract with the City of Galveston and accepts all lost, homeless, and unwanted animals on the Galveston Island. Some are looking to find their way back home, some may have never had the security of a home, and others have lost the only home they've ever known. We accept any animal, regardless of age, species, condition, circumstance or behavioral issues.
Along with caring for the animals, we work with the community to provide assistance with programs such as spay/neuter assistance, microchipping, and vaccination clinics. We also offer community educations programs related to our work.
Your donation will go a long way to helping us reach our goals of providing the best care possible for pets while they are in our care while working to find their "forever" homes.
BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR: Members of our monthly giving program provide a foundation of support for the Galveston Island Humane Society. Through monthly donations, supporters provide GIHS with a consistent and reliable source of funding that allows us to plan ahead.
