YOUTH ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS AT OUR CENTER
We recognize the importance of education and awareness for those who are the future of animal rescue, as pet owners, advocates, volunteers, and leaders.
We are proud to offer an informative program for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and a customized program for youth and adult special needs groups, at our center and offsite. We share how we rescue dogs and cats, teach pet safety, and demonstrate how we train our adoptable dogs.
Group Visits at Our Center
Group visits are typically scheduled Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. or on Sunday afternoons, based on availability.
We offer a presentation, a tour of our facilities, and time to meet adoptable dogs and cats, if possible.
Group Visit Requirements
- Please complete our visit request form.
- Group sizes must be between 5 and 15 students.
- Your group must bring at least one adult chaperone for every 5 minors.

Liability Waiver
A waiver document will be emailed to your group organizer once you finalize the date of your visit with the Mostly Mutts Ambassador. You can also download it below.
Waivers must be completed for each adult and child planning to attend. Every child's waiver must be signed by their parent or legal guardian and brought to the shelter by your group organizer on the day of your visit.
Offsite Visits to Schools
Depending on the location of your school or organization, we may be able to come to you.
Our presentation provides a wonderful way to engage students with an interactive program, which may include a visit with one of our ambassador dogs, if possible.
Students will learn about rescue, how to safely interact with dogs and cats, and dog training, while gaining an understanding of how we accomplish our rescue goals.
Support Our Rescue with a Donation Drive
Many groups coordinate a donation drive in advance of their visit, utilizing our Wish List.
Feel free to bring your donations the day of your visit.
After You Submit a Request
Once you submit your request, a Mostly Mutts Ambassador will reach out to discuss available dates and times for your visit.
Please allow at least one week for a response, due to the high volume of requests we receive.
