Make some new fur-iends
Humane Education is great way to empower people of all ages by engaging them with programs that range from animal care & protection, environmental preservation, interpersonal relationship building, to human rights. We seek to provide educational opportunities and experiences that support the development of a strong community, passionate about animal welfare.
While our youth programing has moved to virtual, we are still offering canine behaviour consultations by appointment and and adoptions through our online process.
