Humane Education
The ADL is committed to educating the community about being responsible pet owners through our P.E.T.S. (Pet Education and Training for Students) program. Schools are encouraged to schedule a humane education program with ADL. Schools can opt to have an ADL representative come to clas with or without a dog (ADL animals are always fully vaccinated and leashed when off property). Schools can also choose to come to the ADL for a program and tour. School groups of up to 20 may come to the ADL to learn about proper animal care and the ADL mission. Topics discussed can include pet care, how to properly approach a dog, what to do when you see a stray and the importance of getting pets spayed or neutered. The school will determin eth amount of animal interaction.
We are available Tuesday through Friday for Humane Education and can tailor an age-appropriate program for each class. Please contact the Volunteer and Community Relations Manager, Joely Savell, at jsavell@adltexas.org or 210-655-1481 ext. 110 to schedule your humane education program today!
