More fun things to do at home!
Read a great book. We love RedRover’s Recommended Books with Humane Themes for preschool, early elementary, and middle-grade readers. Their page is organized by topic, so you can pick what interests you most.
Play a game together. Check out this printable board game from the Animal Welfare Institute and help pretend dogs or cats get the care they need! There is even a black-and-white version you can color yourself for even more fun.
Make some cool crafts for your furry friends. Our shelter kitties always enjoy a new hand-made blanket if you would like to make something to donate. How to link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGlXY2Eux6g
Our shelter dogs like snuffle mats if you like to make them: Here is the link: https://www.freekidscrafts.com/pet-snuffle-mat/
