The Power of Pets

Primary and Secondary students enrolled in the After School Activity Animals Asia decided earlier this year to shift our focus from rescuing bears held in bear bile farms to working with a local cat and dog shelter named Animal Rescue and Care. 

Yesterday ISHCMC students participated in a Field trip to Saigon Pet Clinic, a veterinary clinic and home to ARC. After talking with the resident vet, Dr. Nghia, students then learned proper dog handling techniques with dog trainer, Regina, and practiced their skills walking dogs ready for adoption.

Our Field Trip was in preparation for a Pet Adoption Drive, being held at school tomorrow, during which we hope to find homes for cats and dogs. Students are learning the importance of working  and giving back to the community, proper care and responsibility of animals, and at least one student is being a genuine Risk-Taker by learning to confront her fear of dogs.
