Hi, I'm Debbie Henry.
I created thePawtectors' Club, for kids just like yours...
I'm a lifelong animal lover and the founding Director of The Pawtectors, dedicated rescue partner cultivator, author/speaker, fundraising maven & true believer that youth CAN make a difference in homeless animals' lives.
After witnessing a tragic case of animal abuse to one of my beloved barn cats by a neighbor’s child, I was inspired to create The Pawtectors Club to teach compassion and empathy for all animals. This total lack of unjustified anger & rage shown by this child on an innocent animal empowered me to be a champion for those who cannot speak.
It is my lifelong passion to inspire and cultivate animal compassion, and responsible pet ownership (as a current or future pet parent) through an engaging learning journey showing our PAWTECTORS they CAN be superheros for ALL animals.
The PAWSQUAD Team Leaders & I believe that COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS = COMPASSION FOR HUMANS = COMPASSION FOR ALL starting in your backyard & community. Just imagine it - a kinder society for humans & animals alike!
Pawtectors' youth voices CAN make that happen!
Thank you for allowing us to inspire your animal lovers to be superheroes for all animals—pets, homeless, and wildlife.
