Overview

The Waggin Tails Kids' Club is a series of after school clinics held at the Jacksonville Humane Society for children ages 7 to 12. The clinics are designed to provide children with an opportunity to learn about animals and the Jacksonville Humane Society. Our staff and volunteers will show them how to safely interact around pets, teach them how to be responsible pet owners at home, and empower them to get involved by helping animals in our community. This is also a great club for scout groups to attend.

Club Schedule

(Oct. 10, 2011) Animal Behavior and Communication: When working with animals, it is important to understand the ways they communicate. We will explore how animals use body language to communicate with us. Then we will tour the shelter and find out what the animals are saying.

(Nov. 14, 2011) Handling and Care of Cats and Dogs: Learn how to properly hold and handle animals safely. Practice handling cats and dogs at our facility and learn how animals are cared for.
