Animals are fascinating. Humans like to be around animals and observe their
appearance and behavior. Having companion animals around us makes our lives
more interesting and more fun. In order to fully benefit from these
relationships, one must take good care of their pets. This web site was
designed to help you become responsible and caring pet owner. This web site
is composed of four sections.
Development of the programs for Grades 1 -3 was sponsored by
The Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust, A KeyBank Trust.
The development of the grade four curriculum was sponsored in part by the
Banfield Charitable Trust .
