APS Kids' Club

Learning, helping and having fun!

The club meets monthly to learn more about animals and the important role they play in our lives.  

APS Kids are given the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the need to respect all living creatures – both human and non-human varieties.  There are special guests (both human and animal!) as well as activities involving a variety of animal-related subjects.  

The kids have the opportunity to recommend, select and work on humane projects geared to their abilities.  They learn about the shelter and meet some of the animals.  Volunteerism and service are encouraged through projects designed to help the shelter.   

Join your child in making a contribution to a kinder world!
