At-Home Project Volunteers

Help the animals, from the comfort of your home!

Home | Volunteer Opportunities | At-Home Project Volunteers

The At-Home Project Guide  includes enrichment activities and resources for our animals. Each project directly supports the health and welfare of the pets at AWS, bringing them joy, comfort and enrichment while they wait to be adopted. The listed projects offer varying levels of difficulty, skill and time commitment. Projects range from constructing a feral cat shelter to making no-bake dog treats and so much more. The best part about these projects – they are fun!

We welcome people of all ages to work on projects at home that help the animals. For students, this is an especially meaningful way to make a difference, by working together with friends, fellow Scouts or family members to work on projects. In most cases, students can deliver the projects directly to AWS’ animals so they can see first-hand how their support makes a difference.

We encourage all individuals seeking to complete their service hours to do so at home using our At-Home Project Guide as a resource. Don’t have community service hours to complete but still want to help the animals? We love to hear that! These projects create items and resources used by our pets every day.

For students, before beginning a project, feel free to check in with our Youth Program Coordinator, Amanda Zimmerman at (207) 985-3244 ext. 109 or via email for information and encouragement.

And the winner is... 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 #𝗔𝗪𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗧! Our feline friends are celebrating with catnip as we speak and of course, they`ve received bragging rights over the dogs. Maybe next year Team #awsdog can win back the crown but for now, all hail the cats!

We want to thank our community for their incredible support this Giving Tuesday. Yesterday`s friendly competition between dog lovers and cat lovers has brought in an incredible $𝟏𝟏,𝟕𝟐𝟖 in funds to support the health and wellbeing of the pets in our care. We have been blown away by the kindness and generosity of our community of supporters this year and every year. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮!!!

Sheena was expecting another victory for the dogs today, but so far Team #awscat has remained ahead of the game this Giving Tuesday! However, the night’s not over yet! If you think canines are more cuddly than cats (just look at how cozy Sheena is!), donate to Team #awsdog now and help your favorite species win the crown! 👑 #givingtuesday #dogsrule

Hi folks! My name is Zeus and I`m here to tell you that currently, Team #awsdog is down by almost $1000 in this year`s Giving Tuesday competition. Geesh! That doesn`t make sense to me because the theme is which species is the Coziest Companion: Cats or Canines? I mean, obviously it`s dogs! We love to snuggle on the couch with you, in your bed, on the floor, and even in the car. We`re snuggly machines! I mean, just look me right now all cozy in my winter jacket as I go for a hike. Don`t you just want to hug me?!

Anyway, what I guess I`m saying is that I would love your help getting Team #awsdog to the top so we can keep our crown for two years in a row. I`ll never hear the end of it if I let those pesky felines win! Donate right now and I promise to give you a big sloppy kiss if you come to visit. GO TEAM #AWSDOG!!!
