Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to own a pet to sign up for the Pawtectors' Kindness Club?

    No pet? No problem—just a big heart and love for animals! Stuffed animals are welcome too. We teach responsible pet ownership, covering basics for current and future pet owners. Adult supervision is required for any optional animal interaction with Pawtectors' Kindness Club members.

  • Do I have to start the MONTHLY MISSION activity at the beginning of the month?

    Great question! Our self-paced program features a new animal-themed "MISSION" each month. Optional special events are held on the 3rd weekend to include all Pawtectors' Kindness Club members who signed up that month.

  • What is program/activity pricing if I have multiple children in my family?

    The Pawtectors' Kindness Club membership fee is per family not per child. OurCore Compassion Programs, PawSquad Summer Camp, and some special events may have a "per attendee" fee, but we’ll always make it clear in the event details.

  • What is the Pawtectors' "YouAreNotFURgotten" Compassion Fund?

    Pawtectors wants to teach children that THEIR voices CAN make a difference. The YouAreNotFURgotten Compassion Campaign fund is a signature charity fund designed to help animals in need. PAWSQUAD members will SUGGEST & VOTE on what the compassion fund will donate monies to.

  • What is The PAWSQUAD PRESS?

    We’d LOVE to showcase your child/teen’s photography, videography & journalistic skills using animal-related content that MAKES A DIFFERENCE ! We have 3 categories of reporters - Junior (ages 5-8), Reporter (Ages 9-12) & Senior (Ages 13-17). We provide monthly Press Topics & content creation suggestions based on the monthly animal "MISSION" theme! Reporters submit their articles/videos & photos which we share on our social media pages.

  • Can I volunteer or be a guest instructor for the Pawtectors' Kindness Club Program?

    We strive to offer the most robust, well-rounded year-round educational experience for our PAWTECTORS' Kindness Club members. We are always looking for Guest Instructors who would like to share their passion for helping animals & inspiring animal compassion. You can be an animal-centric business, rescue, school, author, celebrity, athlete, school group, organization... obviously the list is endless. Because of the age of our club members, we exercise the right to refuse things that would not be a good fit for our program. Reach out to us on the PAWTECTORS main website with your ideas & suggestions. We can't wait to hear from you.

  • How safe is the online learning platform?

    Our membership site is created on a dedicated, secure educational platform. There are no chat rooms, no messaging/interaction between PAWSQUAD members or their parents/guardians. Members cannot POST anything directly to the site. All content & course curriculum is provided directly by the PAWSQUAD team.

  • Are there Pawtectors' Kindness Club in-person events & activities?

    All official Pawtectors' Kindness Club learning and activities are online. Occasionally, optional activity worksheets may suggest outdoor tasks, to be completed individually or as a family with parent/guardian supervision at your discretion. To ensure the safety of all PAWTECTORS' Kindness Club members, unofficial group gatherings under our name are NOT PERMITTED. Official program-wide gatherings will be announced through our social media channels and corporate notifications.

  • Can we create a Pawtectors' Kindness Club in our neighborhood?

    For safety, offline group gatherings under the Pawtectors' Kindness Club or PAWSQUAD/HUMANE HEROES name are not permitted. However, individual PAWTECTORS approved activities such as donation drives for rescues are allowed with written approval from the PAWSQUAD team 30-days prior to the event.

My grand children love learning about how they can make a difference locally in the lives of homeless animals. They're too young to volunteer at an actual shelter - this is such a great opportunity!
