Do your children love animals? Have they ever expressed an interest in becoming a vet or volunteering at an animal shelter? The Austin Humane Society invites families into the AHS animal shelter to learn how to be animal advocates through interactive play-based learning. Presented by H-E-B, an all-time favorite event at AHS is Teddy Bear Surgery. This is a unique opportunity for children to interact with the Austin Humane Society staff and step inside a real animal shelter clinic. Kids are invited to bring their own stuffed animal in need of a little love and care, and the shelter team will diagnose their buddy and patch them up. Everyone will be feeling better in no time!
