This program is designed to help teachers that would like small animals as teaching aids or mascots etc. in the classroom, or to assist teachers who presently have animals, in obtaining supplies needed to care for the pet. We realize that teachers have limited funds and our program offers grants of up to $150.00 for the purchase of small animals such as fish, hamsters, birds, as well as supplies. We have the money, we have the program, we have a web site, all that is needed is your help to get the word out. We at Pet Care Trust, feel that exposing children to the care and responsibility for animals is imperative in the development of good character and compassion in relationship to all living things. Too much time is spent killing and destroying as a pastime on the computer. The care of animals teaches children life affirming values. If you could pass this along or give me advice on the best the get this information to teachers it would be much appreciated. Join us on Facebook! [link removed]

Pets in the Classroom grants are offered to public school, Kindergarten through Sixth grade classes only. These grants are intended to support pets or aquariums in the classroom for the purposes of teaching children to bond with, and care for their pets responsibly. The welfare of the small animals involved is of paramount importance. “Our goal is to support placement of appropriate pets in schools where they will enhance the classroom experience and help kids learn about proper pet care,” commented Steve King, Pet Care Trust Executive Director.
The grant process is easy. The teacher completes the online application form (found at [link removed].
Pets in the Classroom encourages the pet and/or supplies to be purchased locally. By going to the local pet store, the teacher and classroom are establishing a relationship with the pet store. The pet store is valuable resource for questions, help, solutions and more. Some pet stores will even sponsor the pet and classroom!
Teachers may reapply each year for Pets in the Classroom grants. Tell your colleagues about this wonderful new program sponsored by the Pet Care Trust.
The Pet Care Trust is a 501(c)(3) Foundation whose mission is to enrich the lives of youth and seniors through human interaction with companion animals by promoting the value of the human-animal bond through education and science.
