Ambassapets

The Humane Education team has a wonderful ambassapet program, which allows the team to bring out one ambassapet to a school or offsite visit. These ambassapets are staff or volunteer owned pets, and are all rescues. Bringing a pet, will depend on the lesson chosen (for example-no ambassapet comes out for Click and Learn class). We have a variety of ambassapets for visits at our shelters, but the pet chosen depends on the staff or volunteers availability, as well as the age group of the audience. See our current ambassapets below, and you might just meet one at our next visit!

Jedi

Jedi is a 5-year-old sphynx who enjoys socializing and keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Jedi was adopted as a kitten from Humane Colorado after he and his siblings were born in a foster home. He is quite the character and always keeps his family on their toes! When Jedi is not at work with his human, he’s home napping in the sun or terrorizing his cat brothers and pug siblings. He is quite an acrobat and is known to jump more than five feet in the air to catch his favorite feather toy!

Kiwi

Kiwi is 5 years old and a shelter alumnus. She was adopted as a puppy after coming to Humane Colorado on a transfer from Oklahoma. She was tiny then, but her ears were already full size!
Kiwi lives with her parents, two cats and a sidekick named Cricket who is her best friend ever! Kiwi loves peanut butter, napping, rolling in cool wet grass and giving big sloppy kisses. She’s not too fond of fireworks or thunder and would prefer never to have her nails clipped again. Kiwi’s best day starts with a relaxing morning on the deck while her parents drink their coffee, followed by a cool hike (but not too far!) an afternoon nap, early dinner and watching movies together in front of the fireplace.

Wally

Wally is a 6-year-old Goldendoodle who came from a rescue in Connecticut. When he’s not working, he loves hiking, swimming, and playing in the snow. At home, he lives with his Boxer sister and a tortoise brother. Wally isn’t fond of motorcycles, tail brushing, or bananas, but he adores meeting new people and could happily enjoy belly rubs all day long!
