CHS Humane Education Programs

We offer a wide variety of humane education programs designed for groups of all ages and interests. Presentations are tailored to meet various time requirements and can include audio/visual, discussion, and/or question and answer segments. Animals are available to take to off-site presentations if requested. In-house presentations can include a visit to the Dog Adoption Center, as well as the Cat Adoption Center. Handouts and other materials are available for specific presentations.
