Pet Crusaders

There are many ways that kids and teens can help WCHS!

  • Decorate a big box with animal pictures/things we need from our shelter, and place this box in store or public area (as long as you have permission from the owner or manager). Attach a sign to the box asking people to donate supplies (see our Wish List).

  • Help an elderly or sick neighbor take care of their pets.

  • Post copies of our "Wish List" in your school or neighborhood.

  • Return cans for deposit, and then use the money to purchase something from our "Shelter Wish List".

  • Ask your scout troop, camp, temple, church and other organizations to hold collection drives and special fundraisers (e.g,. bake sale, car washes, yard sales, etc).

  • Have a dog biscuit/cat cookie bake sale, or donate the treats.

  • Come to the shelter & take photos of the animals needing homes, then make posters that you can hang on bulletin boards at your school.

  • Create a “coin collecting” event event in your neighborhood, school, library or scout troop. Drop off rolled coins to Windham County Humane Society.
