Ten years.Ten years of kids filling the shelter with questions, giggles, glue sticks, and big ideas about how to help animals.
The 10th Annual Be Kind to Animals Kids' Day at Pope Memorial Humane Society is happening Saturday, May 9, from 12 pm to 2 pm, and this milestone year will be our biggest yet.
What started in 2017 as a simple afternoon of crafts and critters has grown into a signature PMHS tradition. Every spring, hundreds of children and their families join us to meet animals, learn about responsible pet care, and discover that kindness is something you can practice at any age.
This year, we're celebrating a full decade of raising young animal advocates, and we're adding even more hands-on fun.
Here's a peek at what's in store:
• Meet adoptable animals and hear their stories
• Step into our Junior Veterinarian Station and try your hand at pet care skills
• Create enrichment toys for shelter animals
• Make animal-themed crafts to take home
• Write Kindness Cards and Letters for pets waiting for families
• Design a handmade Mother's Day gift
• Play games, enjoy snacks, and explore the shelter
Kids' Day is free and open to everyone. It is designed to be welcoming, hands-on, and just the right amount of chaotic in the best way. Kids get to ask questions. Parents get to see those lightbulb moments. Animals get a whole lot of extra attention.
If you have been coming for years, thank you for growing this tradition with us. If this will be your first visit, you picked a pretty great year to start.
Mark your calendar, gather your crew, and come celebrate ten years of kindness at PMHS.
We still have a limited number of Kids' Day sponsorship opportunities available for local businesses and community partners who want to be part of this 10th-year celebration. Sponsorship helps keep the event free and accessible for every family that wants to attend. If you are interested or have questions, reach out to [email protected].
