CAMP PAWSEvery summer, Animal Services sponsors Camp PAWS. Each 1 week camp offers kids from 8-12 years old the opportunity to work with a shelter dog and assist in its training, socialization, and grooming. This interaction helps children learn compassion, responsibility, and basic pet care while helping to make shelter dogs more adoptable. The camp also includes arts and crafts, presentations by animal professionals and field trips.
