WHS would like to give a big round of “a-paws” to two special young ladies, Mollee and Katie. These animal-loving kids recently brought in nearly $100 to help care for the dogs, cats, small animals and wildlife at WHS. Mollee and Katie raised the money by holding a rummage sale, a bake sale, and a lemonade stand. Thank you!

The Wisconsin Humane Society would like to thank Izzy D. who brought in a car-full of wonderful supplies to help the animals at the shelter. Izzy recently celebrated her Bat Mitzvah and as part of her Mitzvah project, she asked her friends and family to donate supplies to WHS. Izzy says she chose to help WHS because she has always loved animals and has a passion for making a difference in their lives. In addition to the great supplies, Izzy also raised $125. Thanks Izzy!

Kids can help too!

Here are some great ideas for kids to help the animals at Wisconsin Humane Society!

Hold a Help the Animals Drive
This is a great project to do on your own or with a group. Click here for our Wish List of much needed supplies. Design colorful posters and bins to attract the attention of kids in your school and people in your neighborhood to collect items for animals.

Fundraising

Helping the Wisconsin Humane Society raise money is a very important way to make sure that the animals receive all of the help they need.

• Have a bake or lemonade sale;
• Organize a yard sale;
• Organize a "penny drive" at school;
• Have a birthday party where kids bring gifts and/or money for the animals;
• Have a movie night at your school or community center; and
• Set up an information and fundraising table in your neighborhood or school

Crafts for Critters

Get crafty! Use your creative side to create toys or beds for companion animals. Make fleece beds 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!

Spread the Word

Consider doing your next research paper, speech in class or article in your school newspaper about an animal-related topic. There are many animal welfare issues that deserve discussion such as spay/neuter, responsible animal care, humane treatment of wildlife, wildlife habitat and treating all animals with respect and kindness. There are lots of books, websites and magazines devoted to the subject. You can get information at your local library. Ask your local librarian to set up a display of animal related books and magazines so other kids can read about them as well.
