HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ANIMALS IN NEED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

It’s the season of giving and the perfect time to make even more of a difference
in the lives of animals. At Animal Humane Society, there are countless ways to
make a meaningful impact – from donating much-needed items to adopting a new
furry friend. No matter how you give, your generosity has a huge impact on the
animals in our care, in our community, and beyond. 

Here are some meaningful ways you can give a lasting gift to animals in need
this holiday season. 


DONATE NEW AND GENTLY USED ITEMS

From clean towels to puzzle toys, new or gently used items help animals feel
happy, healthy, and safe while they await their new beginnings. Make the
holidays bright for shelter animals by donating new and gently used items or
shopping our Amazon Wish List or Chewy Wish List.  

Spread the holiday cheer! Shop for shelter animals during your next visit to
AHS. Now through December 31, receive 10% off when you buy five items from one
of our adoption center locations. All proceeds benefit animals at AHS. 


ADOPT AN ANIMAL

When you welcome a furry friend into your home, you’re giving them the greatest
gift of all — the second chance they deserve — and freeing up shelter resources
to help another deserving animal in need. 

Additionally, adoption fees support our programs and services, like
investigations into animal cruelty and ensuring animals in our care have access
to needed medical care and behavioral rehabilitation. Learn more reasons to
consider adopting an animal from AHS.  


VOLUNTEER



Join our incredible team of AHS volunteers and make a difference in the lives of
animals this season and beyond. AHS Volunteers play a hands-on role in the lives
of animals. 

From supporting the Vet Center by ensuring spaces are clean and tidy to
assisting our dog trainers during training classes, there’s a role for every
animal lover to make a meaningful impact on the lives of animals. Learn more
about offering your time and talent to animals in need at AHS. 


FOSTER A PET 

Open your home to a deserving animal through AHS’s foster program. Foster
volunteers provide specialized care for animals before they are ready to find
their new homes.  

Currently, AHS is seeking foster support for large dogs (50 pounds and up). If
you’re 18 years or older, please consider applying to be a foster volunteer at
AHS. 


PARTICIPATE IN AN EDUCATION PROGRAM 

Make the holidays magical for an animal lover in your life all while helping
animals in need — proceeds from our Education programs benefit animals at AHS. 

Foster a love for animals with programs for animal lovers of any age with
programs like Paint My Pet, where participants paint a portrait of a beloved pet
under the guidance of an artist, or Furry Friends & Films, a Friday night movie
and pizza night for young animal lovers, and so many more exciting programs!
Learn more about our education programs for youth, families, and adults.  




GIVE THE GIFT OF TRAINING 

Looking for a present for your furry friend? Give the gift of a strengthened
bond between you and your canine companion while helping animals in need —
proceeds from our Behavior & Training programs directly support animals at AHS.
Our positive reinforcement training classes empower your dog to thrive in
real-world situations  while fitting into your schedule and skill level.  

New! Purchase a one-day trial pass to try out a training class before you commit
to a two- or four-month pass. 


MAKE A MONETARY DONATION TO AHS 

Donations directly impact animals in need at Animal Humane Society in many ways,
including providing crucial medical and behavioral care for animals in our
shelters, helping cats, dogs, and critters find new homes, and rescuing animals
from abusive and neglectful situations.

Generous animal lovers like you make the lifesaving work of AHS possible.
Celebrate your love for animals this season by making a gift to AHS today.
