Kids benefit from exposure to pets in the classroom in ways that help to shape their lives for years to come. Our goal is to establish healthy child-pet relationships at an early age by supporting responsible pet care in elementary and middle school classrooms across the country.

The Pet Care Trust believes in supporting teachers with Educational Grants

We know many school teachers have very limited resources for the support of classroom animals. That’s why the Pet Care Trust is sponsoring this program to help teachers support pets in the classroom through direct, no-hassle educational grants. You can obtain a grant for the purchase of new pets, pet environments or pet food and supplies for existing classroom pets.

We want to thank you for you interest in applying for a Pets In the Classroom grant. The grant program is now closed for the summer. We will begin excepting applications for the 2013-2014 school year beginning July 22, 2013. Enjoy the summer everyone!

Also, beginning July 22, 2013 we will be launching a new version of the website, complete with a new logo and a fresh new look.
