School Animal Welfare Programs & Field Trips
We invite students to step inside our Yelahanka shelter to learn about empathy, animal care, and the responsibility of coexistence. It is a lesson in kindness.
A student from Euro School North shares a gentle moment with one of our resident dogs. School visits are a wonderful way for children to learn about animal welfare and the importance of kindness in action.
A group of students surrounds a calm and happy dog during their field trip to our shelter. These interactions teach children how to approach and care for animals with respect and compassion.

Two students from EuroSchool carefully pet one of our senior dogs. Our school programs provide a safe and supervised environment for children to connect with animals of all ages and temperaments.
It's field trip season! We were delighted to host 160 children from Presidency School for a shelter visit. We offer curated programs for different grades to educate students on animal welfare.
A beautiful video capturing the visit from Aakanksha Trust. The students learned about the biology of our furry friends and the power of empathy, sharing pure, unfiltered love with our resident dogs.
We are so grateful to the 70 NCC Cadets from CMR University who rolled up their sleeves for a massive clean-up drive at our shelter. Their hard work and community spirit left our facility sparkling clean.
About this collection
A visit to our Yelahanka shelter is designed to be a practical, hands-on experience rather than a classroom lecture. Over 3-4 hours, students rotate through stations covering animal biology using shelter props, dog bite prevention safety drills, and supervised empathy sessions with our ambassador animals. We shift the focus from simply looking at animals to understanding the biology, needs, and the importance of compassionate coexistence.
Our educational programs are structured to offer a realistic view of animal welfare.
The Educational Curriculum We move beyond the basics of pet care. Depending on the age group, we discuss 'One Health'—the connection between animal health, human health, and the environment. We use tangible props like skeletons to explain physiology, making complex biology concepts accessible and memorable.
Safety & Interaction Interacting with street animals requires knowledge. We teach students how to interpret dog body language and perform safety drills for dog bite prevention. These sessions are supervised by our senior educators or veterinarians to ensure safety for both the children and our animals.
Tailored for Impact Whether it is a primary school biology field trip or a university-level CSR initiative, we adjust the content to be age-appropriate. We focus on:
- Empathetic Engagement: Supervised petting sessions with vaccinated ambassador animals.
- Practical Skills: Understanding the responsibilities of rescue and shelter management.
- Advocacy: Learning how to be a voice for animals within their own communities.
We provide digital handouts and e-certificates for all participants. Schools are requested to organize their own transport and snacks, as our facility prioritizes medical resources for the animals. We are open to all educational institutions that want to foster a kinder generation.
