Humane Education Programs

Onsite Lectures    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. To schedule a lecture at your school please submit a request.

Tours

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.

To schedule a tour of our facilities please submit a request.


Kindness Club

The Connecticut Humane Society offers a week-long summer program that teaches children respect and kindness toward people, animals and the environment. 

The Kindness Club is a summer humane education program offered by the Connecticut Humane Society at our Newington headquarters.  This program is designed for children who love animals, especially cats & dogs, and have the desire to learn more about the care and management of these animals. 

The children will learn all about the joys as well as the responsibilities of living with, caring for and loving these animals.  The goal of Kindness Club is to help the next generation learn what they can do to make their homes, communities and the world a better place for companion animals. The Kindness Club runs for 9 one week sessions in the the months of July and August.
