May 14th - How to Meet a Dog


The Willamette Humane Society will be presenting the "How to Meet a Dog" program at our next Junior Gardener's Club meeting on Saturday May 14th.

WHS’s humane education programs play a critical role in promoting the welfare of animals in our community. Their education programs encourage children and adults to develop and express attitudes of compassion, kindness, and respect for all living things.

Kids participating in the program will learn how to meet a dog and responsible pet care. Oregon Garden volunteer Jan Cooperman, who socializes dogs for the Guide Dogs for the Blind organization, will also be at the program, teaching about the Guide Dog program and will bring a couple of working dogs.

Join us Saturday May 14th at 10 a.m. in the Children's Garden!
