The theme for this year’s Dog Days is entitled Operation Animal: A Kid’s Law Enforcement Academy. Operation Animal will provide unique lessons for kids interested in how animal cruelty detectives solve crimes and protect non-humans from harm. Although programs will be age-appropriate, due to the subject matter parents and guardians are encouraged to think carefully about their child’s sensibilities before signing him or her up.

WHAT HAPPENS? WHEN AND WHERE? >

Dog Days takes place at the Humane Society’s Companions for Life Center at 3465 E. Kleindale, approximately one block from the shelter. The Center has security fences, air-cooled classroom areas, landscaped grassy yards for animal related activities and other excellent facilities.

Included in the registration cost is a Dog Days T-shirt (additional shirts may be available for $10 each based on availability), a Humane Society namebadge, morning and afternoon snacks (kids need to bring their own lunches), prizes, keepsakes, educational information, a free graduation party and other goodies distributed during the 4-week program. Sessions run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
