Make a Donation

Dear Friends,

Every day at Galveston Island Humane Society begins with hope. Your generosity helps us turn that hope into compassionate care, second chances, and lasting connections between pets and people.

For Jake, that second chance took time. This three-year-old Plott Hound mix arrived at GIHS in 2025 and waited six months for his first adoption. When he was returned on a cold January morning, his story with us began again.

While Jake waited, he received safe shelter, medical care, and enrichment. Borrow-a-Bestie outings gave him time away from the shelter and opportunities to connect with people. In July, he was adopted again.

Jake’s story reminds us that an animal’s needs do not follow a fundraising calendar. Some need a few days of care. Others depend on us for months.

That is why monthly giving matters so much.

As Executive Director, I see how dependable support helps us plan ahead and respond when animals and families need us. Monthly gifts help sustain everyday essentials food, medical care, and safe shelter while supporting our work to reunite lost pets, find adoptive homes, and help families keep the pets they love.

This Giving Tuesday and throughout the year-end giving season, I invite you to become a monthly supporter of GIHS. A gift that fits your budget, repeated each month, provides steady support for animals like Jake and those whose stories are just beginning.

If a one-time gift is right for you, it will also make a meaningful difference.

I believe in this organization and in the community that makes our work possible. Thank you for helping us build a stronger future for animals on Galveston Island, one act of compassion at a time.

With gratitude,

Kristen Thompson
Executive Director
Galveston Island Humane Society

AMOCO Federal Credit Union is teaming up with Galveston Island Humane Society to raise funds through their “Create Change” program. Through this generous program, you can generate funds for our organization with no out-of-pocket costs! AMOCO’s program first began in 2010 when they decided to make an impact on the Galveston County Community. One idea to donate $25 to local Galveston County food pantries for every auto loan booked escalated into donating 1 percent from multiple loans to over 30 non-profit organizations. Funds donated through this program make it possible for Galveston Island Humane Society to assist those who need us the most.

AMOCO’s program is simple: Finance your next loan with AMOCO.

Tell your loan representative that you would like AMOCO to match 1% of your loan amount and pay it forward to Galveston Island Humane Society.
You’re done. It’s really that easy! AMOCO will take care of the rest.

For more information, please contact us at info@galvestonhumane.org.
