Critter Club

Critter Club is the ultimate after-school adventure for animal-loving middle schoolers! Designed for students in 6th through 8th grade, this hands-on volunteer program at HAWS lets kids connect with adoptable animals, make new friends, and be part of something meaningful. 

You’ll choose one day—either Tuesday or Thursday—and join us two to three times a month during the school semester for evenings full of furry fun, teamwork, and tail wags! 

Club Highlights:

• Give Back with Purpose: Make a real impact by volunteering your time to help animals in need—your compassion and care make their stay at the shelter brighter! 
• Hands-On with Animals: Spend quality time caring for and socializing with dogs, cats, and small animals—helping them feel safe, loved, and ready for adoption! 
• Friendship & Fulfillment: Build lasting friendships with fellow animal lovers while gaining confidence, empathy, and a sense of purpose through meaningful volunteer work.
