The Golden Belt Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare that provides housing and medical care to unwanted and stray animals. Our mission includes the placement of these animals by adoption or by networking with rescues.

The new shelter opened in February 2010. At that time , the Shelter manager had resigned and no new person had been hired. FCHS volunteers were instrumental in the move from the old shelter to the new one. We were still not entirely welcomed or appreciated, but the PD needed us and therefore encouraged us to participate. With the new shelter came new opportunities. Adoptions soared with additional traffic to the new clean facility. Unfortunately so also did intake. In April 2010 a new shelter manager was hired. Unfortunately, old procedures continued to plague the operations and many foster homes were added to try to keep as many animals as possible alive long enough to find them adopters or rescue. It was a trying time. Managers came and went and so did our volunteers. Many found it too discouraging to try to save an animal and then find out it was put to sleep just because it had been on the books for too many days. Volunteers dropped out like flies. Foster homes disappeared. Only a few die hards remained. The writing was on the wall. Finally the PD realized that the politics of running a humane shelter was a nightmare for them and in 2016 they asked the Humane Society to take over operations. Although this had been suggested several times before, the HS had not been in a position to accept due to shortage of funds. A wonderful bequest from a cat loving citizen who died in 2015 made it possible to accept the responsibility of running the shelter. The rest, as they say, is history. We took over operations on January 1, 2017. Although many predicted that we would fail, in fact, even hoped for it, we proved them wrong. Through our leadership the shelter has become one of the most progressive in the state.

We aim to fill the gap left by budget shortfalls within organizations and the city. When animal control or Parks & Wildlife says "we don't do that." We do. We often rescue ducklings from storm drains, cats stuck in trees, etc. while also saving animals from euthanasia and finding them new homes.
