Educational Assistance

If your child requires assistance at school for academic or behavioural support, please contact our Community Development Assistant, Cassandra Vaessen, to further discuss accommodations and support for your child.

Time spent with animals

We do our best to provide some hands-on time with animals. Animal time may be limited because we must be cognizant of the stress levels and health of the animals and of the fact that the shelter is a working adoption facility.

When possible, we do bring shelter-approved animals into the education space and allow kids to interact with them in small numbers. We also take kids on a shelter tour to introduce them to the animals and share their stories. For safety and insurance reasons, however, kids will not be interacting with shelter dogs.
