The Women's Humane Society, America's First
Animal Shelter founded by women in 1869 and located in Bensalem, PA,
always appreciates young volunteers whether that be at their building
or an off-site project. Their facility offers a program called Story
Tails where youth can come read to their animals which socializes
their pets while also improving reading skills. From home, scouts can
make homemade toys or treats, organize a fundraiser or donation drive,
hold an educational event with their troop or school to learn about
animals, or many other options! They are open to creativity when it
comes to finding unique ways to help their shelter animals!

Pawsibilities Animal Rescue is compiled of a caring staff and
volunteers whose goal is to save and improve the lives of domestic
animals. Whether sick, injured, stray, abandoned or owner
surrendered, Pawsibilities is there to give animals the love and care
they need and deserve. We are a
no-kill shelter with a desire to make a difference in the
lives of the animals we rescue. We strive to educate the public on the
animal overpopulation problem and the importance of spaying and
neutering, allowing them to realize the benefits of opting to adopt
instead of buying a pet. Pawsability is always looking for volunteer
ideas and projects that will help their animals. Troops can run
donation drives for pet supplies, help rebuild or paint rooms or
spruce up kennels.

Email Address: lamancharescue@comcast.net
LaMancha Animal Rescue is a no-kill rescue, located in Unionville,
Pennsylvania. They are a privately funded 501c3 charity that was
originally formed as an alternative to the slaughterhouse for
ex-racehorses. Today LaMancha rescues and finds homes for not only
horses but also dogs, cats, goats and the occasional exotic animal
that requires more space or specialized knowledge than most SPCAs can
offer. Typically troops interested in volunteering visit and are
oriented in an educational tour on the mission and function of the
rescue. This may precede or follow off-site donation drives or
construction of toys; it may immediately precede a day of service
which would include some age-appropriate tasks, some of which would
include hands-on with animals, usually puppies. The youngest come for
a very short visit and juniors and up stay longer.
