Help animal shelters! Corporate volunteering for a doggone good time

Animals deserve our affection and care. Shelters across the country always seem to be overflowing with animals in need of homes, but their numbers soar after natural disasters (and pandemics). So this is an especially good time to keep them in mind.

Naturally, we also want to make this fun for all your human participants. Gamification and friendly competition are perfect for this.

Teams will work together to gather supplies to make a dog bed, pull toy, and a cat scratch pad for donation.

Through a combination of pet-themed team building activities, teams earn points which they can redeem at the “Pet Store.” This is how they obtain the supplies they’ll need to create the donated items. As the activity draws to a close, points are tallied to identify the winning team. But of course, the real winners are all those sweet cats and dogs you’ll be helping.

"The event was a complete success. Everyone LOVED the event! And THANK YOU to the facilitators…they were absolutely wonderful. They totally made the event fun and we learned a lot about the Humane Society. Everyone is still talking about it today. We had so much fun making the doggie beds, chew toy and scratch pad and the one minute commercials were the best. It made our team closer and we appreciate it. We haven’t laughed so much and had so much fun in a while as everyone has been so busy, so this was just the medicine we needed. I really appreciate everything and we will definitely do this again."
