Classroom Critters Program

Cocheco Valley Humane Society is looking for classrooms throughout Strafford County to foster small animals. The objective of this program is to provide temporary or permanent homes for small animals that are up for adoption at the shelter.

The classroom foster program helps children understand the important responsibilities of pet ownership and of providing proper pet care. As a classroom, teachers and students provide a loving environment for a homeless animal until it is adopted.

If you are an educator and are interested in fostering a small animal, please call the Outreach Manager at (603) 749-5322, x111.
