This educational event offers youngsters the opportunity to learn about animals and animal welfare by participating in furry fun, animal-themed activities during the morning and afternoon play sessions.

Magician Patrick Livingstone will dazzle and amaze with his “Animal Magic Tricks” show. Visitors can join the fun by making creature ears and decorating their arms, hands, and foreheads with images of their favorite critters.

Palo Alto Humane Society:
The Palo Alto Humane Society (PAHS) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, and education. For more than a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues and elevate the status of animals in our society.

Palo Alto Humane Society is celebrating its 114th anniversary of serving the mid-Peninsula on behalf of animals.paloaltohumane.org
