Animal Care and Safety Presentations

The Bitter Root Humane Association (BRHA) has a humane education team that visits classrooms, preschools, libraries and clubs in Ravalli County to provide information about responsible animal care and safety. We focus on similarities between humans and animals, and how care and compassion help guide responsible pet care.  We typically work with children from ages 4-14 but we can customize our program to fit any age group.  Our presentations are about 30 minutes and include plenty of time for questions.  If desired, we also discuss how to be safe around dogs and how to avoid dog bites.  We keep topics very simple and use photos and stuffed animals to make things clear and understandable.

Would you like BRHA to visit you? For more information or to schedule a presentation please contact us at: [email protected] or call our Volunteer Coordinator at (406) 363-5311.
