This exciting program is a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn about caring for family pets, dog bite prevention, animal behavior and communication, animal abuse, conservation, environmental preservation, and "Animal Adventures" field trips in the Pioneer Valley .
Children taking part in this program will also have the opportunity to spend time at DPVHS Adoption & Education Center in Springfield where they will engage in Adoption Center projects and spend time with friendly animals.
