Project Canis
“nonprofit run by students at the University of Florida. Our mission is to make sure every shelter animal gets a toy, and we accomplish this by making pet toys from recycled materials to donate to shelters.”
Paris Miller: Founder & Executive Director: theprojectcanis@gmail.com
“We rely on volunteers to make our toys.
Anyone can participate in Project Canis remotely by sending in toys they made individually or as a service project with their organization. We have three toy designs: the braid, the plushie, and the crunch that can be made easily with recycled materials such as old t-shirts and plastic water bottles. Making the toys is super easy and fun, and participating in Project Canis is a great way for organizations to give back to the community.”
