At Rescue Village we are guided by an ethic of compassion. Our Humane Education department recognizes that the kids of today are the animal guardians of tomorrow. We also know that children and adults who learn to extend kindness and care towards animals are more likely to treat other people with respect.

All of our education programs are designed to foster values of respect, compassion, and a reverence for life. The interactive lessons we teach were developed in conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States, the American Humane Society, and the ASPCA.

Rescue Village offers educational programs to individuals as well as civic, community, professional, and school groups.

outreach programs

Call to arrange a visit to your school classrooms, senior centers, libraries, or other interested groups. All programs are designed to foster values of respect, compassion and reverence for life that will make the world a better place for both humans and animals. Visits will address pet care, animal body language, bite prevention, choosing the right pet, treating all animals with respect, and other animal welfare-related subjects. Programs are presented by an experienced classroom teacher, animal welfare professionals, or trained volunteers. Certified therapy animals often accompany the presenter, and talks can be tailored to your interests.
