Education
Our education program sends volunteers to schools, service clubs, etc., with information and presentations on various animal issues and subjects
| Education | For the third year, volunteers from Humane Society of Cottage Grove have carried out an education program. Volunteers, with a companion animal, visit second grade classroom at South Lane schools to talk about pet care show a short video on animal safety and discuss the importance of pet population control. Each child is left with a small gift; this year, pencils imprinted with “Be Kind to Animals” and bookmarks. Picture shows volunteer Andrea Hummel with her mini-dachshund Ruby. Ruby entertained the children by jumping through a hoop, rolling over and sitting up. The children agreed that, like pets, they are happiest when someone plays with them and teaches them things. |
