CARING FOR ANIMALS AND EACH OTHER

Across the country, cities face a crisis of pet overpopulation and neglect, overwhelming animal shelters and resulting in the euthanasia of thousands of adoptable pets each day. Addressing this urgent issue requires early and sustained animal welfare education. With your support, we can drive a cultural shift in how the younger generations view and care for animals—and each other.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

– Aristotle

BUILDING A KINDER COMMUNITY

The PAWS Education program provides students with vital knowledge on pet care, including the importance of spaying and neutering. More than that, it equips them with SEL skills such as emotional awareness, healthy relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. These skills not only enhance their ability to care for pets but also enrich all aspects of their lives.

Join us in creating a future where every pet is valued and every student is equipped to make a difference.
