Humane societies, shelters and rescue leagues have always been at the forefront of animal welfare education efforts. There are many groups working toward expanded community education and awareness about support for companion animal health and welfare. The Pet Care Trust would like to work with humane educators to offer our support where appropriate and when invited. Dr. John Pitts, a veterinarian, is the workshop speaker and program coordinator. His time, expenses and travel are funded by the Pet Care Trust.
Educators can select equipment and materials needed for their classroom or animal education program.
Humane educators who coordinate a workshop in their community, invite teachers, collect enrollment fees and provide a meeting space, AV equipment and coffee will also receive certificates for their effort. A minimum of 25 teachers must be enrolled prior to each workshop date. Please note, Pet Care Trust programs are not commercial or sales presentations. The Foundation's non-profit registration status precludes any advertising or commercialism. This program focuses on helping the pet retailer to cooperate and coordinate with local schools and teachers, by providing quality information and teaching risk avoidance with animals visiting classrooms.
