Visitas y presentaciones
NHS offers classes and behind-the-scenes tours for groups, organizations and clubs, plus presentations to enhance classroom lessons.
Visitas entre bastidores
Civic groups, schools, organizations, teams or clubs can see how we care for and house the thousands of animals that come into our shelter. We’ll take you behind the scenes and show you the process an animal goes through as it makes its way from the stray kennels to a new home. Each tour costs $5 per person and includes animal meet-and-greets, as well as Q&A time. You must have a minimum of 10 people to schedule a tour. Para concertar una visita, llame al 402-444-7800, ext. 2277.
Junior Vet Class
The Nebraska Humane Society Animal Medical Department is always busy saving lives, and they could use your help! This hour-long session is great for kids ages 10+ who want to learn about and experience the life of animal shelter medicine. Kids will play dog and cat anatomy games, examine x-rays, practice suturing and with stethoscopes and even get to do a "surgery simulator!" Chaperones may attend at no charge. To schedule a class, please call 402-444-7800, ext. 2277.
Companion Animal Behavior Class
This is a fantastic opportunity for kids ages 8+ to learn all about animal behavior, including the common differences between home and shelter behavior in pets. The experience is an hour long and includes a learning session, games and even observing animals in the shelter to garner an understanding of how and why pets at NHS behave the way they do. Chaperones may attend at no charge. To schedule a class, please call 402-444-7800, ext. 2277.
