Barrio Dogs of Houston had their first Education Day at the
Fletcher Mission. We were able to give the children there an educational presentation on animal welfare and let them meet some rescue dogs. Big thanks to Noe Ortiz with Fletcher Mission, Sophie’s Doggie Spa, Susan Giles, our Barrio Dogs Education Volunteers and Therapy Dog Pepper. The children also got to meet rescues Hap and Roxie.
A special thank you to those of you who donated books and supplies that helped make this event happen. We will be back at Fletcher Mission in the spring and look forward to our continued visits to educate these children about proper animal care. Thank you also to Nicole Bean for these photos taken during the event.

Barrio Dogs education volunteers recently visited Browning Elementary to spend time with some wonderful students. The Barrio Dogs Tales to Tails program helps children practice their reading skills by letting them read aloud to one of our therapy dogs, in this case, sweet Chloe. Chloe is also one of our Rescue Education Ambassador Dogs (R.E.A.D). Many thanks to Jennifer Washam and Maria Ivanez! Education is the solution.
