Homeless Pet Clubs (HPC) give students, civic leaders, and business owners a way to share their love of animals by promoting animal rescue, responsible pet ownership, adoption of shelter animals, and animal welfare. Response to the free-to-establish clubs has been overwhelming, with each club choosing pets to "sponsor" and promote for adoption. Teachers lead the charge for the school clubs, and report benefits to students including:
 |
Improved social skills |
|
Increased compassion for animals |
|
Heightened sense of achievement |
|
Community involvement |
|
Improved self-worth |
|
Increase in self esteem |
|
Networking for a cause |
|
Sense of accomplishment |
|
Decreased bullying |
|
Increased responsibility |
