A Connecticut Humane Society representative visits with the hosting school to talk about responsible pet selection and care. Typical topics include: daily care, veterinary care, and the importance of spay/neuter. Please note: These are only some of the topics covered and can vary depending on specific interests of the group. Lectures typically include a pet interaction.

Small groups are invited to schedule visits of their local Connecticut Humane Society branch. Tours include a behind the scenes look at what goes on at the Connecticut Humane Society as well as a discussion on responsible pet selection and care. Groups are able to view both the private and public areas of the building in order to gain a better sense of what is involved in making an animal ready for adoption. Tours are tailored towards the educational level of each group.

The CT Humane Society regularly receives funds and pet supplies from local children and teens who manage donation drives to support our shelter animals. We are grateful for the support and generosity of our community and would definitely appreciate and welcome future service projects. Most commonly, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, schools, religious organizations, and individual families and children manage donation drives in honor of our pets. Please review our wish list for some items that we can always use in our shelters to help our pets feel more comfortable. If you are interested in making an in-kind donation please visit the nearest Connecticut Humane Society shelter to your home any time during our normal business hours.  You may also wish to submit a request for a tour during your visit.

Our Kids Care page was inspired by children and young adults who have asked the question: "How can we help the animals?" The resources on this page are designed to help kids, parents and teachers find fun and fascinating projects that will nurture and support the desire to help pets in need. The humane education materials featured here are also free for download.

Our Caring Kids page is a tribute to the generous kids who have helped our shelter animals. Kids who have gone the extra mile to show they care for animals in need are recognized on this page with their photo and story. Our featured caring kids have found a variety of innovative ways to get involved. From birthday parties to service projects, we have many great events to share. Browse through our tributes today for good ideas on how you can help animals in need!
