“The Clear the Shelter Day is always a fun event that GBHS looks forward to each year. Thanks to our partners and supporters, we are confident that people will come to the adoption center to find their next family member and help us empty what is currently a very full shelter,” said Allison Black Cornelius, Chief Executive Officer of GBHS.
