$350 per four-week session
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Jr. Vets Club is ideal for young animal enthusiasts who are eager to learn, explore, and create. Each week, students engage in exciting themes such as animal behavior, veterinary care, and wildlife conservation through fun games, creative projects, and hands-on experiences.
Participants might create enrichment toys for animals, learn how to interpret animal body language, or explore what it takes to become a veterinarian, trainer, or wildlife rehabilitator.
While we aim to include animal interactions in every class, activities may vary based on the animal population and the needs of the shelter at that time.
Spaces are limited to 14 participants per session

Jr. Volunteers (Ages 11 to 14)
$350 per four-week session
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Jr. Volunteers program is designed for youth ages 11-14 who want to make a difference while earning community service hours. This hands-on program empowers participants to support the shelter through meaningful service. Each week, they will take part in hands-on projects, such as crafting enrichment toys, folding laundry, building critter mazes, and preparing supplies for animals and staff.
Participants will learn how a shelter operates, explore animal-related careers, and track the impact of their work. From teamwork to responsibility, this program helps develop valuable real-world skills while giving back to animals in need.
While we strive to provide animal interaction in every class, activities may change based on the animals available and the shelter’s needs at that time.
