This program is aimed at animal lovers. Junior PAWS Tier One introduces children to how a shelter operates and teaches how to recognize animal behavior and body language. It helps the children conduct “consent tests” with the animals and emphasizes the importance of letting the animal come to you. Basic animal training techniques are developed, and advertising posters are created to promote the shelter animals to potential adopters.

PAWS Tier 2 builds upon the children’s knowledge and skills from Tier 1. It runs for three weeks and builds the children’s awareness of humane and inhumane conditions that animals experience (tailored appropriately to their age). Children are introduced to the five Freedoms of animal welfare. They listen to stories, play games and write letters. The older children do research and create interactive workbooks. Every week students get to play with and give our shelter animals TLC, whilst they develop calm and trusting relationships with them.
