Join us for our very First Parrot Enrichment Class!

Parrots have a natural need to chew, shred and forage for their food. Toys can be expensive and they can destroy them in minutes! In this hands-on workshop you will learn about how to make chewing, shredding, and foraging toys from common items in your home or found at dollar stores. Materials will be supplied so you can make your own toys to take home with your parrot!
All parrots are welcome.

The SPCA Behavior and Training Team works with Shelter dogs to make their time at the Shelter a little more enriching. One way we do this is through playgroups. Playgroups offer a chance for dogs to de-stress through play and have positive interactions with other dogs. All dogs in this video are currently available for adoption!
