DCHS: After Dark

media release: DCHS: After Dark will be held once a month from October to May, and each month will offer a different theme and activities. Each event will feature time with our classroom animals, and various animal-related activities or lessons!

We ask that participants bring their own snack or dinner as these events will be held during dinner time hours. We will set aside time for eating during the event.

While participants will be able to pet our classroom animals, they won't be able to pet our adoptable dogs and cats.
