Pet Helpers - For Kids
Kids C.A.R.E. Club
Join the Club!
A Volunteer Program for Kids Who Love Animals!
Is your child eager to make a difference in the lives of animals? The Kids C.A.R.E. Club is the perfect way for kids ages 8-15 to get involved, build compassion, and learn about animal welfare through hands-on activities and volunteer opportunities.
What Your Child Will Do:
- Get Creative: Craft enrichment toys to keep our shelter animals happy and engaged.
- Lend a Hand: Help tidy the shelter grounds and support the veterinary clinic with simple tasks.
- Make Friends: Spend time socializing with adoptable animals and forming meaningful connections.
Volunteer Sessions:
Sessions take place every Thursday from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, offering a flexible schedule to fit your family’s needs.
Don’t forget to save your spot!
Kid’s C.A.R.E. Club is a hands-on experience with limited space, so children must be registered in advance to participate. Choose your session, sign up, and get ready for some animal-loving fun!
*Participation in Kids Care Club is limited to children 8 years of age and older.
*Participants must wear clothes that can get messy and closed-toe shoes with rubber soles.
*Kids C.A.R.E. Club is designed for kids. Parents/guardians please feel free to drop off/pick up your child for this event.

Host a supply drive. Schools, teams, and organizations are welcome to host supply drives for Pet Helpers using our Amazon and Chewy Wish Lists! Items can be sent directly to our shelter (make sure to include a gift receipt), or can be donated in bulk at the shelter! Make sure to create your own marketing materials! Create a social media post to reach more donors and tag us in your efforts!
Go on a scavenger hunt. Many items on our wish lists may be found right under your own roof! We accept gently worn towels and blankets, unopened cat and dog food, and unopened jars of creamy peanut butter and canned pumpkin!
