Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – An exciting educational initiative recently welcomed students from the Anglo-American School to the Centro de Control y Salud Animal (Animal Control and Health Center), offering an enriching look behind the scenes of dedicated animal care.
This special day, promoted by the Bienestar Animal (Animal Welfare) Department, led by Roberto Ornelas, and strongly supported by the administration of Luis Munguía González, was designed to inspire the next generation of responsible pet owners and welfare advocates.
The young visitors were treated to a comprehensive tour of the facilities, where staff detailed the critical daily work involved in the care, nourishment, and attention provided to the animals. The students witnessed firsthand the dedication required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for companion animals awaiting their forever homes.
The experience truly became hands-on as the students actively participated in the center’s routine. They engaged in essential tasks such as facility cleaning and, much to their delight, taking the dogs for walks.
The highlight for many was the immersive “Veterinarian for a Day” activity, which offered a glimpse into the challenging and rewarding world of veterinary science. This direct interaction sparked considerable enthusiasm, with many students expressing a desire to return as volunteers or even take the meaningful step of adoption.
These educational efforts are integral to the department’s mission to cultivate a more empathetic and accountable citizenry concerning animal welfare. By offering these impactful opportunities, the Animal Welfare Department is successfully fostering a community where the well-being of animals is understood and prioritized.
For those interested in experiencing this rewarding opportunity, the center encourages community involvement. Individuals wishing to join the volunteer program can schedule their visit by contacting the center via message at 322-102-7339 or through the official Facebook page, Bienestar Animal Puerto Vallarta.
