Join us in this hands-on event throughout the Museum, led by North Shore Animal League America, where children and families are invited to learn about animal rescue, care, and adoption through play and educational engagement. North Shore Animal League America’s no-kill mission is to Rescue, Nurture, Adopt and Educate. They developed the Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum in partnership with Yale University, bridging Humane Education with Social Emotional and Service Learning.
There will be four stations with activities based on the Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum:
- Rescue: Explore the journey of homeless animals to the safety of Animal League America’s campus.
- Nurture: Learn how grooming and veterinary care improve the well-being of animals as you use your imagination to care for plush animals.
- Adopt: Pledge an act of kindness towards homeless animals. Create a badge to proudly wear and tie a knot to make cozy blankets for shelter animals.
- Educate: Spin the wheel and share your ideas about animal-themed scenarios. Snap a photo to celebrate learning about the mission of North Shore Animal League America.
Note: There will be rescue dogs present from Noon to 2 p.m.
