The mission of the Galveston Island Humane Society is to provide care, comfort and housing for the homeless animals of our island, to promote responsible adoptions, to offer human education programs, to sponsor low-cost spay/neuter programs, and to prevent animal cruelty in our community.  Galveston Island Humane Society volunteers will be on hand at the ARToberFEST entrance at 23^rd and Postoffice Streets with very important (and generally fur-covered) clients that are looking for a home!
