Promoting Animal Welfare with Students

Preteen PAWS Tier 2 is for students 10-12 years old. The program builds upon the children’s knowledge and skills from PAWS Tier 1. It runs for three weeks and develops the children’s awareness of both humane and inhumane conditions that animals experience (tailored appropriately to their age). Children are introduced to the five Freedoms of animal welfare. They listen to stories, play games and write letters. The children conduct research and create interactive workbooks. Every week students get to play with dogs and cats, train and walk dogs and give our animals love and care – all while they develop calm and trusting relationships with them.
