Our Pet Professor Humane Education Program features engaging lessons on various aspects of our relationships with animals. Safety, responsibility and compassion are the messages conveyed through programs that are as interesting as they are fun! If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, give us a call. We are very flexible and love to work with kids of all ages.

Helping Victims of Domestic Violence
Pet Guardian, our partnership program with the YWCA of Schenectady, is for pets belonging to women affected by domestic violence. Pet Guardian provides a safe place for the animals while their owners are in transition to a new home. The goal of Pet Guardian is to enable victims to leave abusive situations by assuring them that their pets will be safe and well cared for.
