There are so many things that you can do from home that will benefit our shelter animals. Making enrichment items and toys for our shelter pets is a great way to make their stay at the PRAS a more pleasant one. This can be a great way to pass some time or even get the kids involved! We have some of the supplies you might need right here at the shelter (old blankets, cardboard tubes) and many other supplies are in your recycle bag at home just waiting to upcycle. Or perhaps you have sewing or creative building skills and can help us with some projects? Do you need community service hours? Check with your sponsor to see if these activities would meet the requirements. We have a handy log for you to track your time and activities right here.
