The GBHS mission includes the placement of animals by adoption or by networking with rescues. Euthanasia is ONLY used for animals that are unadoptable for reasons of aggressions, sickness and injury. Once a month, some of the animals spend a few hours outside of the shelter at the Adopt-APet Program. This is typically accompanied by a fundraiser, such as a burger or walking taco lunch. In 2021, the third annual Walnut Car Show was held as a benefit for Golden Belt Humane Society/ Adopt-A-Pet. Money generated helps the shelter to lower adoption fees, pay for medical treatment and spays/neuters, and purchase supplies and equipment. Check out the Golden Belt Humane Society on Facebook or call for more information. The Golden Belt Humane SSociety also over sees other ttemporary placement through tthe foster program.
