Community Education at Browning Elementary

Barrio Dogs Educational Volunteer, Jennifer Washam, U of H Interin Maria Ivanez along with Rescue Education Ambassador Dog (R*E*A*D*) Chloe recently visited two 4th grade classes at Browning Elementary to give a presentation on the basics of canine care and behavior.

Through a video, question and answer session and a quiz on canine body language, the students were able to get a better understanding of how to not only properly care for their own pets but how to deal with unknown dogs they may encounter.

The students especially enjoyed the opportunity to hear how Chloe came from a background of abuse and neglect, but with lots of love and training, has learned to trust again and give back to the community. Barrio Dogs looks forward to more chances to reach out to the community on our educational mission.
