The Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society has donated pet leashes to the Gloucester Volunteer Fire & Rescue Squad to help keep animals safe during emergencies. The leashes will be carried on response vehicles and used when pets are present at accident or medical scenes. In giving the leashes, they said that the equipment gives first responders a tool to protect animals while caring for their owners, and it highlights the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society’s commitment to animal welfare beyond the shelter.
