About:
Join Us! in our Passion for the odd and unloved animals of the world. Over the course of 3 decades of school assemblies we have seen the wonderful results of giving kids access to animals in a real and meaningful way. Sharing our love, curiosity and wonder of these creatures with school children is our life’s work, side by side with rescuing the animals themselves.

Bringing animals into a school setting is something that should only be done by people who really understand their animals and their responsibility. We believe strongly in the usefulness of animal programs in schools to boost enthusiasm for learning, to increase relevancy of curriculum material and to bring an important part of our world home to children that may no longer have a great many options of seeing these animals otherwise.
