Service Saturdays
Calling all teens!
The Wisconsin Humane Society Milwaukee Campus hosts Service Saturdays for young people ages 12 to 18! Participants assist with hands-on service projects such as creating enrichment toys for the animals, helping to keep the shelter grounds looking their best, and more. Service Saturdays can help fulfill school or club community service requirements, as well. Each three-hour session includes a tour of the shelter, a chance to meet an animal, and a snack. This school year, Service Saturdays will be held on November 3 (2018), March 9 (2019), and June 1 (2019). Click on a date to learn more and sign up!
Crafts for Critters
Get crafty!
Use your creative side to create toys or beds for companion animals. Make fleece blankets or plush toys for the cats and dogs at the Wisconsin Humane Society. Make cat charmers and sell them at a craft sale, school function or rummage sale and donate the proceeds to the Wisconsin Humane Society. There are all sorts of crafty ways that you can help animals!
