LIVE ONLINE CHAT WITH ASPCA HUMANE EDUCATOR

CHAT CLOSED

How can I reinforce humane education for my kids during the summer?
Why is it important for kids to learn about animal welfare?
I heard you have a book club—can I sign up?


Hey parents, want to chat about raising the next generation of veterinarians, animal cops, shelter workers and volunteers? We at the ASPCA—especially the four-legged “staff”—are grateful for your interest in showing kids how to care for the furry members of the family.
