Homeschool Thursdays are a terrific way for children to gain experience with animals and get involved in shelter projects. Each session will explore animal care and behavior, IHS goals and mission, humane awareness, compassion, and service. We strive to share the shelter’s purpose and programs as well as teach younger generations about humane care for pets and safety around animals. Some of the activities will include reading to animals, creating our own enrichment toys, making and distributing treats and helping around the shelter.


Register for one day or save money and book all semester! Only registered children may attend.


Homeschool Thursday (ages 5-13)

We will learn about safety around animals and caring for them responsibly as we dive “behind the scenes” of the shelter and explore ways to help homeless animals. This session emphasizes service, compassion, and learning from each other and our furry friends. We will learn about animal enrichment and students will gain a new understanding of how to improve the lives of the animals they know.


Sessions take place at 1300 S. Bird Street at our Education Center. Enter at the north end of the building. Scholarships are available.
