You want to nurture empathy, leadership, and a sense of purpose in the next generation.
And you’re thoughtful, intentional, and committed to raising kind, capable humans.
But let’s be honest—it’s not always easy.
Even when you're doing your best, it can feel like an uphill climb.
Because you can't teach compassion in a vacuum. You can't force kids to care. And you definitely can't do it all alone.
Sometimes, life gets busy. Screens take over. Or you just don’t know where to start.
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Debbie Henry.
The Pawtectors Kindness Club started after a tragic moment: a child in my neighborhood harmed one of my beloved barn cats. This experience showed me a gap in education, empathy, and connection. I created The Pawtectors to fill that gap, offering kids a safe, engaging space to learn about animals, kindness, and their power to make a difference.
Our superhero-themed missions are more than just fun - they’re tools for transformation, helping kids build compassion, take action, and become confident voices for those who can’t speak for themselves.
I’m proud to have worked with hundreds of families, schools, and groups to raise kids who are more connected, courageous, and compassionate
Our Approach is Different.
And we meet kids exactly where they are.
Whether they’re wild about animals or just starting to explore, our missions are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create real, lasting impact.
This isn’t just about animals. It’s about heart.
It’s about helping kids grow into leaders who care deeply about all living beings.

MISS "FIFI" (Phoenix)
Co-Special Needs Girl who was a former feral farm cat who had an accident requiring her front leg to be amputated, but that doesn’t stop me! I’m sassy & very independent & can chase the “red-dot” laser pointers all day.
MAANASA
She loves working with animals and individuals with special needs, and is studying animal-assisted and art therapy in college.
LITTLE LUCY
Rescued as a 9-week-old kitten from the storm drain of the Home Depot parking lot. Lover of life, lying upside down & following my humans around.
If I were a human, I’d be wearing red glasses, carrying a mini notepad/pencil working as your personal assistant.
GRAYSON
“Grayson is 10 years old, and a larger-than-life autistic, extrovert who loves to socialize not only with people but with animals too! He LOVES helping demonstrate DIY projects, co-hosting animal adventures and being a PAWSQUAD PRESS Reporter!” – Nicole, (Grayson’s mom)
ATLAS
I was a rescued “labradoodle” who was given up when their owners couldn’t take me overseas. I’ll do just about anything for food, especially whipped cream. I haven’t met a squeaky or treat toy I didn’t like. I also get the award for the best cuddlebug ever! Want to challenge me for that title?
