Crafting Crews

Tails Humane Society offers the following projects to students under 16 years of age requiring hours of service for school, a club or an organization. They do not count towards court mandated community service. These projects are ideal for students in need of service learning hours, scout troops looking to earn a badge, or teachers in search of a classroom project.

Be sure to check with your school or organization to confirm the project you choose meets their requirements. At the time of your scheduled donation drop-off, Tails will provide a humane education tour.

Do It Yourself Donations: All of the animals in our shelter need behavioral enrichment items to keep them stimulated, occupied, and happy during their time at Tails. You can make these "do-it-yourself" items out of recycled materials from the comfort of your own home. Each item has been assigned a time value, so you will need to do a little math to calculate how many items you will need to meet your service hour requirements. Please check with Tails for a list of items to create by applying for this volunteer position.

Pet Supply Drive: Coordinate a pet food and supply drive and receive volunteer hours for your efforts! Each item has been assigned a time value, so you need to do a little math to calculate how many items you will need to meet your service hour requirements. Please check with Tails for a supply drive list by applying for this volunteer position.

Mission Statement

Saving the lives of companion animals through rescue, adoption and spay/neuter; advocating for pets in our region.

Description

Tails cares for 2,500 pets each year. At any given time, approximately 300 pets reside at the shelter and in volunteer foster homes throughout our community. Adoptions occur daily at the shelter and at offsite adoption locations each weekend.

In addition to our adoption program, Tails also provides low-cost spay/neuter and dog training classes to the public and offers a variety of human service programs aimed at nurturing the human-animal bond:

  • Our Safe Pets program provides free boarding for the pets of domestic violence victims so they can leave their abuser without fearing for the safety of their pet.
  • In partnership with our local Meals on Wheels program, we provide free food and veterinary care to Meals on Wheels clients who own pets through our HomeBuddies program.
  • Through our Humane Education program, we provide educational opportunities for school and community groups, focusing on a variety of animal welfare topics.
  • Pawsitive TAILS, our animal assisted activities program, facilitates interactions between certified pets and clients of human service organizations throughout our community.
