Through a variety of school-based, extracurricular and specialty programs, our team of humane educators reaches tens of thousands of people all over southern Arizona. We have children’s programs for kids as young as 6, including a very active kids’ club and youth internship corp. Our free school-based programs bring humane education right into the classroom, providing interactive lessons on everything from basic pet care to animal cruelty prevention.
With the largest anti-cruelty program in the state, our staff includes full-time and part-time animal cruelty investigators who work cooperatively with the Animal Cruelty Taskforce of Southern Arizona to stop violence toward animals before it begins. Services through this branch of our department include professional training seminars, public outreach, law enforcement support services, emergency medical care and fostering of abused animals, and evidence collection.
