Getting Kids Involved!

Tours

HAWS is thrilled to host your troop or group for a tour of HAWS between the beginning of September and the end of May. We do not run tours during the summer months because of our Kids ‘N Critters Day Camp, which runs from the middle of June through August.

Tours are given on weekdays starting at noon, with the last tour beginning at 4:30pm. Tours last about one hour and include a discussion about what HAWS does for animals and the community, researching a pet before you bring it home, and what it means to be a responsible pet owner. After the tour, 15 minutes is reserved to meet and learn about some of the adoptable pets at HAWS.

Because HAWS closes most evenings at 6:00 p.m. and we use our meeting rooms for training classes, seminars and other activities, we cannot schedule tours to start after 4:30 p.m. We also are unable to conduct tours on weekends, as it is difficult to run a tour when HAWS is at our busiest!

There is no charge for our tours, but we strongly encourage donations of either cash or items from our Wish List.

Tours must be pre-scheduled. The first semester of the school year generally has the best availability. Tours during the second semester are often booked a month or two in advance; so please call early if you have a specific date and time in mind.
