GHHS CEO Spencer Batcheller started Community Day in 2020 to support pet owners in financial distress. "Over the course of the past five years the Humane Society has experienced an increase in needs regarding pet resources. These needs stretch from daily necessities such as food and litter to yearly essentials such as vaccines. Offering Community Day provides low-cost routine care opportunities and education in our community. Surrendering a pet often comes from financial uncertainty and if we can support the pet owners in our area, pets remain with their families and out of area shelters."
