Our Kids Care page was inspired by children and young adults who have asked the question: "How can we help the animals?"
The resource below is designed to help kids, parents and teachers find fun and fascinating projects that will nurture and support the desire to help pets in need.

How can you help animals?
Kids, Parents, Teachers...here are some of the ways that
you can get involved and help the animals at the
Connecticut Humane Society who are waiting to be
adopted into loving new homes.
|
|
|
1. Create a newsletter, flier or poster about adoptable animals.
2. Report animal cruelty to the local ACO (animal control officer).
3. Hold a bake sale for people and pets. For pet treats make sure the ingredients are safe for dogs or cats to eat.
4. Hold a yard sale to benefit your local Connecticut Humane Society. Ask parents, siblings, friends and neighbors to donate unwanted items to sell at your yard sale.
5. Throw a birthday party in honor of animals. Ask for gifts for shelter pets instead of gifts for yourself.
6. Organize a collection drive for towels, bedding, treats, dog and cat toys and Kuranda Beds for dogs.
7. Collect quality pet foods and donate them to our pet food pantry to help families in our community feed their companion pets.
Take a tour of our facilities and get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to care for the dozens of animals at CT Humane.
