Help Students Grow—One Pet at a Time

When you donate to Pets in the Classroom, you’re doing more than funding a classroom pet—you’re helping students grow. For just $9 a month, you provide the resources teachers need to bring a pet into their classroom, creating opportunities for students to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Thanks to survey feedback from thousands of educators, we know exactly how classroom pets make a difference. Classroom pets help:

  • Teach empathy and compassion.
  • Facilitate student responsibility.
  • Increase student engagement.
  • Improve attendance due to their classroom pet.

  • Develop social skills.

  • Reduce anxiety.
  • Improve students’ self-esteem.
  • Decrease necessary disciplinary measures.
  • Improve test/academic performance.

These benefits don’t just help students learn—they help them connect, focus, and succeed.

Your monthly donation helps us reach more classrooms across North America—and more students who need support.
