Learning More About the Humane Society and its Work
Education
As part of its responsibility to educate the public regarding the proper care and treatment of pets and other animals, the Humane Society:
- Provides volunteer instructors for programs in the public schools.
- Provides speakers to civic organizations and other groups.
- Offers "Who To Call" information about sources and agencies dealing with injured, abused, neglected, lost, found, and wild animals.
- Offers pamphlets and information on the care of cats, dogs, horses and other animals.
Educators are available at no charge to teach about animal safety. This is a free program, and is appropriate for all school age children and adult programs. This past year, we have spoken with over 3000 elementary children in the Lake County School system. Our goal, as educators, is to speak with every child in Lake County about animal safety. Together, with our communities' support, we hope to eliminate or reduce the number of dog bites and animal cruelty cases.
Lost and Found
The Humane Society maintains a current list of pets which have been found as well as lost. If you know of a pet which has been found and the owner cannot be identified or located, or if you have lost a pet, please notify the Humane Society Shelter so we can put the animal on our list. If you have previously listed a lost pet with us and subsequently have found it, please notify the Humane Society promptly so we can take the animal off our list.
