Each year we host a number of great events that provide fun for the participants as well as financial support for the shelter. We couldn’t do what we do without the wonderful support of our donors, sponsors, and vendors. We thank each and every one of you for your continued assistance.
Calendar Photo Contest

Photos with the greatest number of votes are featured in the MWHS Calendar. Visit the Calendar Contest page to learn more and see all of our sponsors who support us!
MWHS Annual Craft Fair
The Annual MetroWest Humane Society Craft Fair is held every September.
