Baby-Ready Pets
2016-11-07 18:30 - 20:30
Every year, thousands of animals are turned into shelters by parents concerned about how their pet may affect the health and safety of their new baby. Any pet can have undesirable, although natural reactions to a new baby. New sounds, smells, and activities surrounding an infant may cause a pet to see the baby as competition, prey, or even a toy.
Baby-Ready Pets offers preparation and assistance to help expectant families prepare their home and their pets for the arrival of the new baby and to make sure that it is a safe and (relatively) stress-free experience for all. This seminar is based on a program created by the Providence Animal Rescue League and the Rhode Island SPCA, and has been endorsed by the ASPCA. The Animal Welfare League of Arlington’s staff will present Baby-Ready Pets for expectant parents in a two-hour workshop at the League.
After the program, participants may call or e-mail follow-up questions if they need additional support. Participants will also receive helpful handouts and a CD of baby sounds to help desensitize their pets to the sounds of the new arrival. This is a HUMAN-ONLY class, please leave your pets at home. Baby-Ready Pets sessions are from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, 2650 S. Arlington Mill Drive.
There is no fee for the class, but donations are welcome. Reservations are required and space is limited.
To see available class dates and register for a class, please visit our Baby-Ready Pets Registration Page.

Creating a Humane Backyard
2016-08-29 19:00 - 20:30
Have you heard that most of our 4,000 native bee species nest not in hives but in the ground or dead wood? Did you know that caterpillars, not birdseed, are an essential part of most baby bird diets? Are you familiar with the gardening prowess of opossums and skunks, who devour insects often considered “pests?”
Animals large and small are critical to healthy ecosystems, but sadly, the typical yard does little to welcome and support our wild neighbors. Together we can replace the mowing, leaf-blowing madness and adopt a new landscaping ethic. In this seminar, Nancy Lawson, founder of Humane Gardener and a columnist and consultant for The Humane Society of the United States, will explain how mindful cultivation techniques and native plants can help you create a beautiful, life-sustaining garden for all animals.
Join us for a Free Seminar!
