Tiny Hooves Fence-Side Friendship Series, By Request W/Donation
Hosted at Tiny Hooves Farm Sanctuary, 1117 N Britton Rd, Union Grove, WI
Designed for children and families
We're teaching the next generation to be "sanctuary superheroes" by showing love to animals who have been rescued. From behind the safety of the fence, children can watch the residents play, snack, and nap. A kid-friendly guide will lead a fun "calm-down" session, teaching children how to find their inner peace through simple breathing and happy-heart thoughts. To finish, we'll practice "invisible hugs" -- sending all our kind, happy energy over the fences to the animals to let them know they are loved. Kids will build empathy and patience. They'll learn that they can show huge amounts of love just by being a calm, kind presence, helping them feel connected to the world around them.
Advance registration required. This is a volunteer-run event, donating all proceeds to animal care. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/2026-tours-2
