MGHS, Madison-Greene Humane Society (Ruckersville)

We are a small, grassroots 501(c)3 corporation, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and proud to be a no-kill shelter. Because the County of Greene provides shelter for dogs only, the fate of the abandoned and homeless cats in the County rests solely with us; typically we save the lives of about 300 cats per year. Additionally, Madison-Greene Humane Society greatly benefits Madison, Greene, and surrounding counties in Central Virginia by offering weekly low-cost spay-neuter clinics and bi-annual low-cost rabies clinics to citizens of these communities.
We began in 1985 as the Madison County Humane Society, Inc., an independent, non-profit agency not funded by any governmental entity or national animal welfare organization.

In 1998, our Board decided that euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals due to space constraints was unacceptable. With this decision, the Humane Society became the first no-kill organization in
the area.

In 1999, our Board again took progressive action when they decided that no animal would be adopted until it had already been spayed or neutered.

In 2004, the organization’s name was changed to Madison-Greene Humane Society to more accurately reflect our service area.
