Animal Education/Anti-Bullying

Anti-bullying education begins with teaching compassion for all living things. What better way to instill the values of compassion and care than through a visit from a friendly dog?

Our interactive session designed for schools and youth groups brings to life the following important lessons:

Respect and compassion for all life
Proper, safe and kind interactions with our companion animals
The connection between bullying and the mistreatment of animals
The value of spay and neuter programs in saving the lives of animals

Bullying is a terrible threat to our kids, and that’s why many schools and youth groups are proactively investing in anti-bullying education. Consider a visit from Bobbi and the Strays a part of your anti-bullying curriculum.
