COVID-19 Update – Due to the current situation and the uncertainty that remains for the foreseeable future, we have decided to cancel our summer camps and workshops. As a public facing organization with clients in both our clinic and our shelter, we cannot confidently welcome groups into our building while also maintaining the safety protocols put forth by the CDC. We will miss the youthful energy around the shelter over the next few months, but we will look forward to the return of our in-person youth programming this fall. In the meantime, stay tuned to our social media pages for educational activities and virtual opportunities for little animal lovers.
*If you have already signed up for summer camps or workshops, full refunds will be issued this week. We will email you directly and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
