From Loss to Compassion
The Pawtectors program originated as a result of an incredibly horrific case of animal abuse by a neighbor’s child to one of the founder’s beloved barn cats. The total lack of unjustified anger and rage shown by this child on an innocent animal was the inspiration in the creation of our year-round youth animal compassion program.
We inspire and teach animal compassion and responsible pet ownership (as a current or future pet parent) in a year-round, online and self-paced program showing our Pawtectors that they CAN “be the voices for those who cannot speak”.
The PawSquad Team Leaders & I believe that compassion for animals = compassion for humans = compassion for ALL! You can start in your own backyard and community. Just imagine it – a kinder society for humans and animals alike!
Pawtectors young voices CAN make that happen!
Thank you for letting us inspire your animal lovers to be Superheroes for animals – companion, homeless & wildlife.

We want everyone to lean into this learning lane – it’s fun & informative & allows your kid(s) and teens to explore something they’re 100% passionate about! ANIMALS.
