West Palm Beach, FL (May 5, 2022) – Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is offering week-long summer programs beginning June 6. The School’s Out program is a great opportunity for children ages 6 through 14 to learn all about dogs and cats while helping the shelter animals at Peggy Adams.
Peggy Adams’ School’s Out summer program will provide creative activities through arts-n-crafts, making toys and treats for the animals, story time, animal interactions, games and activities, guest speakers, as well as behind-the-scenes experiences.

“Children involved in this program will gain firsthand insight into the full operations at Peggy Adams,” says Shellie Kalmore, Humane Education Manager at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. “All participants feel empowered because they know that through their actions and participation, they are having a positive impact at the shelter.
