Frisky Feline Friends!
If you are crazy about cats, this class is for you! We’re going to prove the many notorious cat myths wrong! Cats are loved by many around the world but they also get an unfair bad rap! Is it fact or fiction that if dropped, cats will always land on their feet? Is it a fact that cats have nine lives? Are black cats really bad luck? We already know they make fabulous companions but there is so much more to learn about America’s most popular pet, the cat! The best part is you get to meet many special cats here at the Humane Society of Missouri! Pounce, leap and slink your way to the Humane Society of Missouri to sign up for this class!

CSI: For the Animals
Duck beneath the yellow crime scene tape and enter the scene of a crime. This is no ordinary crime, it was committed against an animal and it’s your job, as an Assistant Animal Detective to piece the clues together and uncover the truth. Who committed the crime? What laws were broken? What was the motive? The answer is in the evidence. This class will give you an inside look into the jobs of a real-life animal cop and a veterinarian. Animal cops and veterinarians often work together to make sure justice is served for the animals. Experience their fascinating work for yourselves and learn how to take a bite out of crime!

The Call of the Wild:
Can you hear them? If you slow down and listen quietly, what animal sounds do you hear in your own backyard? You might hear the chirping of a cardinal, a squirrel scurrying through the leaves, or even a bee buzzing near a flower. All animals have their own special language so they can communicate with each other! Come find out how our animal friends of the sea, sky and land communicate to send important messages back and forth to each other in the animal kingdom. Let’s find out how we can help them when they are in need! We’ve all found a baby bird who has fallen out of a nest or have seen an injured animal on the side of the highway and have felt hopeless because we didn’t know what to do. Come meet some fabulous people in our community who DO know what to do and who dedicate their lives to helping our wild animal friends like geese, wolves, bats and raccoons. Meet some special wild animal friends too!

Extreme Doggie Makeover
Did you brush your teeth and hair when you woke up today? We hope so! We’re much healthier when we do! Pets are much healthier if they are groomed regularly too! Watch a doggie makeover right before your very eyes! Meet a groomer and watch her use her tools of the trade to groom a pooch from head to tail! Many of the dogs who walk through our shelter doors have matted, dirty fur and long nails because they were homeless with no one to care for them or because they were not taken care of properly by their owners. In addition to lots of love, attention and rehabilitation, many of our shelter dogs get extreme doggie makeovers so they feel better from head to dewclaw! If you’ve ever wondered what happens to your dog when you drop him off at the groomer’s, here’s your chance to see a makeover behind-the-scenes!
Date: Thursday, July 30
