Humane Education
Companion animals are a vital part of the healthy emotional development of children. Valley Humane Society’s humane education programs teach young people respect for all life using enriching activities and hands-on experiences.
Children are able to explore and develop character traits like empathy, kindness, compassion, trust, mindfulness, respect, and responsibility, resulting in:
- A stronger bond with animals, which is proven to create better human relationships
- The desire to become a responsible pet guardian
- A reduction in the number of animals that are abused, neglected, abandoned, or surrendered to animal shelters
- A reduction in bullying and violence in families, schools, and communities.
