Adult Camp Pawprint
Adult Camp Pawprint will be held monthly throughout the year, with a break during the summer, and return in September 2025. Each month will offer a different theme and activity. Each camp will feature time with our classroom animals, a tour of the shelter, and various animal-related activities or lessons.
Upcoming Adult Camp Pawprint Dates and Themes:
Friday, April 18th from 4:30-7:00 pm – Craft & Connect: Crochet Cat Toys & Pet Body Language Workshop

While participants will be able to pet our classroom animals, they won't be able to have one-on-one interactions with our adoptable cats and dogs at this time.

Education Opportunity Statement
At Dane County Humane Society, we know our education programs thrive from having diverse and inclusive participation. Diversity and inclusion are celebrated and embraced at Dane County Humane Society. We will not discriminate against or give preference to any person because of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, handicap or disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, arrest record, genetic information, veteran status or other class protected by applicable law. DCHS puts people first and we are happy to work with learners to remove barriers and put any reasonable accommodations into practice to the extent that it is safe to do so.
Cancellation Policy
Refunds may be granted up to 24 hours after payment has been submitted, less a $10.00 administration fee, if requested in writing to the Humane Educator at camp@giveshelter.org. After 24 hours from payment submission, fees are non-refundable but the event reservation may be transferred to another date in some situations. Dane County Humane Society reserves the right to cancel events due to various circumstances.
Allergy Information
DCHS utilizes hay and peanut butter for animal enrichment throughout the shelter, and therefore is unable to provide a hay and peanut-free facility. We are unable to make accommodations for children with severe peanut and hay allergies. DCHS also uses various forms of hay throughout the shelter, and comes in contact with some of our education animals.
