Consider
a Pet
There are many things to think about before getting a pet. Does your family have
time for a pet? What kind of pet is best? For more questions to ask check out
the ARL's "A Kids' Guide
to Helping Animals". If you decide now is the right time for a pet,
make sure to adopt from a shelter like the Animal Refuge League.

Help
Animals
There are many ways to help animals in your community and at the ARL, too. One
thing you can do is hold a donation drive; which means you collect supplies for
the animals at the shelter from people that you know. To find out how to get
started and see what kind of items we need, download our "A
Kids' Guide to Helping Animals". To download flyers for your drive click
here. You can give the flyers to the people that you are asking to donate.

Make
Toys
Animals love to play just like people do. Make some toys for the kitties at the
ARL (or your own kitty!)
You will need...
Pipe cleaners
Jingle bells*
Unfinished wooden beads*
Directions: String beads and/or jingle bells on to pipe cleaner. Twist and
turn the pipe cleaner, making crazy shapes!
*Use extra large sized beads & bells
so kitty won't choke if they come off!
For more toys to make and

Kids' Guide to Helping Animals".
