Dog Days in the Desert - Wednesday, March 17 |
Living in the Sonoran Desert offers many hazards to our pets, especially in the spring. Learning how to protect our pets by taking precautions when we walk, avoiding sticky situations like cactus. Building first aid skills and studying the animals we encounter in the desert can help us to protect our pets. During this important day of camp we will explore all of these topics as well as visit the AAWL/SPCA vet for important tips on living in the desert with pets.

Too Much of a Good Thing - Friday, March 19 |
When we think of spring we often think of baby animals. While kittens and puppies are adorable, cute and cuddly, there are simply not enough homes for all of the unwanted pets. Through interactions with AAWL/SPCA dogs and cats we will learn how and why we have “too much of a good thing” and what we can do to stop the problem.
