Dog Toy Making + Repair for APA!

Come join us for a fun afternoon volunteering and connecting with fellow animal-lovers in your community. We will be repairing well loved dog toys from the Austin Pets Alive! shelter as well as making new squeeky toys out of fabric scraps that would otherwise be waste. It's the perfect partnership between two Austin based organizations. We need lots of hands to keep these doggos entertained, so bring a friend!

This project is very well suited for all ages, including children as young as 7 years old! Just make sure that any participants under the age of 15 are accompanied by an adult.

This is an indoor, seated event located at Austin Creative Reuse in Windsor Park (just 10 minutes from UT's campus!). You will be helping out in a room that can be a bit chilly in the winter and a bit warm in the summer, so we suggest you keep this in mind when dressing for the event.

Austin Creative Reuse is a Austin based non-profit that aims to foster conservation, education, and community building through the creative reuse of old items and the reuse of creative items! We take in ~50,000 lbs. of donations every month and we rely on volunteers to help us process all those donations! Most items we resell at our center at very accessible price points, but we also teach people new creative skills in our classroom, donate supplies to schools, and attend community events to teach our youngest generations about creative reuse.
