Litter-ary club is a program for students grades k-12. The goal is to provide soothing company to dogs, cats, and critters as they await adoption by reading aloud outside of their kennels.

Day camps and workshops are available at ARL Main throughout the year. Campers engage in interactive animal-themed experiences.

Our Pet Education Corner has been created as a resource to provide lesson plans to teach humane education topics in your classroom.
