Events

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

Each fall we hold a pet photo contest fundraiser where supporters of MWHS submit photos of their pets and vote for their favorite photos. Voting in this year’s contest is open now! 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. Over 100 artists and crafters participate each year and we try to have something new each year to keep this fundraiser fun and relevant. The craft fair is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and reaches the most people in our community and beyond. If you would like to sponsor our event, participate as a vendor, participate as a food truck vendor, or volunteer please send an email to mwhscraft@gmail.com.
