For Kids

Learn, Play, AND Celebrate!

At HEA, we help others see what could be: A world where the life of every companion animal matters… Every.Single.One. As the keepers of the future, we need our youngest animal lovers most in making that vision a reality!
We believe:
  1. Children who are responsible pet owners become adults who are responsible pet owners.
  2. Learning about companion animal welfare at a young age sparks a lifelong passion for the humane treatment of our four-legged friends.
  3. Working with companion animals teaches compassion, empathy, and responsibility.
  4. Kids love learning about how to care for pets!
We connect kids with our vision, mission, and--of course--the cats and dogs of the HEA family! We invite you to explore all the ways to get involved!
