Paws for Love - Animal Samaritans

Paws for Love
Classroom Adoption Program
Your class can help homeless animals by collecting pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters
or even dollars to help take care of dogs and cats that need a home. Animal
Samaritans SPCA is a no-kill shelter. Cats and dogs remain at our shelter until a
loving home is found for them. We need your help to take care of them. Last year
55 classrooms participated in Paws for Love and raised over $1,000 for shelter
animals!!
Each class that participates in the Paws for Love program will receive a picture of
their “adopted” pet. We would appreciate it if you could set up a collection
container. Charity and the act of giving is a great way to instill in your students
the sense of responsibility and respect towards homeless animals. When they put
even a penny in the collection container, they look at the picture of their “adopted”
pet and know that they are making a real difference.
When Animal Samaritans receives the money your class has collected, we will send
you a thank you letter from our shelter director and a virtual shelter tour sheet.
Children may visit their “adopted” pet anytime the shelter is open. If your cat or
dog is lucky and gets adopted by a loving family, the money you send or bring in will
go towards helping another needy animal. On the back of this sheet is a letter to
the parents for you to copy.
Please help both kids and animals by participating in this enriching program!
Dear Parents:
We recently had Animal Samaritans SPCA visit our class with their
Humane Education Program. The class has decided to participate in the
“Paws for Love” program. They will be collecting pennies, nickels, dimes
and quarters for one of the shelter animals. We have a picture of the
adopted cat in our classroom. This fundraiser is optional. We will be
collecting money for the remainder of the year and sending it to Animal
Samaritans.
Thank you for your participation.
Sincerely,
Teacher

Estimados Padres de Familia:
Recientemente Animal Samaritans SPCA visito nuestro salón con su
programa de educación humanitaria para los animales. La clase decidió
participar en un programa llamado “Paws for Love” en donde se recaudara
fondos como cambio para uno de los gatos en el albergue. Tenemos una
foto en nuestro salón del gato que estamos ayudando. Este programa es
opcional. Estaremos recaudando fondos el resto del año y yo lo mandare
a Animal Samaritans.
Gracias por su participación.
Sinceramente,
Profesor(a)
