Animals You’ll Work With
All animals are clean, gentle, and used to being around children indoors and outdoors:

We do not use large farm animals — all pets are safe, small, and manageable in a home setting.

Reliable transportation is required to travel to and from events with the animals.
Must be comfortable handling animals and speaking clearly in front of both children and adults.
