What Drives Us

Our Mission

To maintain and operate a humane animal care facility to provide temporary care to homeless, unwanted or displaced animals.

To keep and provide care to all animals admitted into the GJAS until appropriate placement can be made in an adoptive home. These animals will not be euthanized unless a serious medical or behavioral problem develops that cannot be resolved and as long as space provides.

To promote and carry out educational activities relating to the prevention of abuse and cruelty to animals and to the reduction of overpopulation.

To participate in those activities which are designed to promote the health and welfare of animals and to demonstrate in outreach programs the benefits of human-animal bonding and interaction.

To provide opportunities for all community members to participate in these activities through volunteer and foster programs.

To foster and support preventative health care and provide such services to the community as are justified by facilities, personnel and funds.
