Lessons shaped around children’s ages
Whatcom Humane Society’s education programme serves classrooms across Whatcom County. Younger children explore animals’ feelings and safe interaction, while older groups discuss care, animal welfare and consumer choices. Presentations are free, with donations welcomed. Teachers can work with the education coordinator to select an age-appropriate subject rather than bring every class to the same general talk.
Helping animals through a school project
Caring for Critters encourages groups of children under twelve to carry out service projects for homeless animals. School activities can connect practical help with lessons about responsibility and compassion. The society also offers shelter tours and group presentations. Teachers and youth leaders should arrange the format in advance so the project suits both the children and the organisation’s work.
Reading with dogs at the library
Dog Day Afternoon and Reading Buddies bring volunteers and their dogs together with children practising reading. This is a community reading activity, not a dog-adoption visit. Families interested in a library session are directed to Whatcom County Libraries for the next event, while prospective dog-and-handler volunteers contact the society’s education team about participating.
Camp includes pets, farm animals and wildlife
Critter Camp provides five-day sessions for ages eight to ten during spring and summer. Activities combine animal encounters, crafts, games and learning about domestic care, farm animals and local wildlife. The society lists two financial-assistance scholarships per session. Families should consult current dates and ask the education team about scholarship applications and available places.
Lost-pet reports use more than one channel
WHS partners with Petco Love Lost for free community postings, but also recommends making a report directly at the shelter because many residents contact staff there. Found pets can receive a free microchip scan. Keep those services distinct from visits to other facilities: the farm operates by appointment, and the wildlife rehabilitation centre asks people to call rather than arrive as visitors.
