AFV Humane Education

As AFV's humane educator, I have the privilege of talking and listening to many adults and children about humane issues. Traveling to the local schools and clubs, it is such a great feeling knowing that our humane education program is reaching out to so many people and helping the animals.

I feel the animals have a brighter future ahead of them because of all the people in our community who care enough to make a difference.

If you would like more information about having a humane education presentation done with your class, school, or group, please contact Leslie at (951) 471-8344.

A huge thanks from the animals to students of Oak Meadows Elementary School in Murrieta for holding a supply drive for the shelter. They collected several hundred pounds of food, blankets, toys, cat litter and more for the homeless animals. You should have seen all the wagging tails when I drove up to the shelter with all these great donations!

It's a great feeling knowing that you have helped out in your community by participating in the Pennies for Paws program. The program helps the animals needing a second chance at life as well as supporting AFV's much-needed humane education program, which reaches out to any school or group and teaches compassion, safety and controlling animal population.


	BE KIND TO ANIMALS is an easy task to do, Just make them safe and happy--the same things you'd want for you! Never pull a kitten's tail or take a puppy's bone, Comfort and spend time with them so they know they're not alone. Always give your pet the fresh water that it needs, Walk a dog and brush it--no matter what the breed. If you go to a zoo, never tease an animal there, Or stick your hand in an animal's cage--even on a dare. From household pets to petting zoos, a rabbit or a yak, Please be kind to animals, and they will be kind back! (Source: kidsbrary)
