Since 1899, The Anti-Cruelty Society has remained committed to their mission of building a community of caring by helping pets and educating people. All pets need behavioral enrichment items to keep them busy, happy, and stimulated while they live within a shelter environment. For this reason, they have created a number of Do-It-Yourself crafting tutorials to give animal lovers a way to pitch in and help out. Their collection of craft tutorials will show you how to bring the comforts of home to the animals in their care. All the items can be made from recycled materials, so they’re not only good for the animals, but good for the environment too!
