Adult Whisker Workshops (AWWs)

Have you ever wanted to craft for a cause? Adult Whisker Workshops are for individuals interested in learning new art techniques, creating useful projects for shelter pets in need, and meeting new people in a welcoming environment!

During AWWs, participants will complete a variety of service and art projects benefiting JHS pets while learning about animal sheltering, what dogs and cats go through while living in a shelter environment, and how we can help make their experiences as happy, healthy, and stress-free as possible.

A $25 donation is required to register. This donation helps cover the cost of project supplies and helps support the nearly 11,000 animals JHS cares for each year. Refreshments will be provided.

Pre-registration is required. Must be 18+ to participate.

Upcoming Adult Whisker Workshops:

Friday, February 6, 2026

5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Theme: Stress & Enrichment

Come join us at the Jacksonville Humane Society as we craft for a cause!

For this session, we’ll begin with the basics by taking common household items and transforming them into creative enrichment for our furry friends to use in their kennels as they wait for their new homes! From fun tug toys for dogs to cat hidey holes, all of these techniques are also easy to make at home for your pets to help their mental and physical well-being.

All materials will be provided, but donations of used, clean t-shirts that can be cut up, or empty and clean toilet paper/paper towel tubes are appreciated for these crafts!

Pre-registration is required. Must be 18+ to participate.
