After School Program

Available to children ages 8-11, the After School with Animals Program offers several 5-week sessions during which children have a hands-on opportunity to work with shelter animals. Through lessons, activities, and interactions with dogs and cats, children learn about animal care and well-being. Please note: This program is not appropriate for children with fear or anxiety toward animals.
