Shelter Dog Playgroup Training

From October 31 – November 3, we’re thrilled to welcome Dogs Playing for Life to the Kaua‘i Humane Society! These nationally recognized dog-play experts will be here to train KHS staff and volunteers on how to run fun, safe, and enriching dog playgroups that boost both mental and physical well-being for our shelter pups.
