SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – C.A.R.4Paws is on a mission to promote safety for animals through its “Paws up for Pets” campaign.
“Our goal with this program is to really help out with animal welfare and help reduce any pet from suffering,” said programs coordinator Wendy Domanski of C.A.R.E4Paws.
As a way to teach kids kindness compassion and empathy, the nonprofit organization launched the program in collaboration with the United Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara County.
“They teach the kids how animals are supposed to be handled … instead of a child curiosity to just go after the animals. So they are creating positive experiences for both our kids and the animals they encounter in the future,” said assistant director Azalia Urena of the Goleta Boys and Girls Club.
This week the nonprofit organization known as Buns brought bunnies and guinea pigs to the Goleta Boys and Girls Club.
