Teaching the next generation to love and protect animals.
HEALS is building a dedicated education hub — resources, interactive tools, and programs that help children, families, and rescue organizations understand and strengthen the human-animal bond.
Our commitment
Education has always been part of who we are. Now we’re making it a priority.
For years, HEALS has focused on emergency financial relief — stepping in when families face impossible choices about their pets’ care. But we’ve always known that prevention matters just as much as intervention.
Most people assume children naturally know how to interact with animals safely and compassionately. They don’t. And most pet owners — even deeply loving ones — don’t always have access to the information they need to give their animals the longest, healthiest life possible.
That’s why HEALS is building something new: a centralized education hub where families, children, rescue organizations, and veterinary professionals can all find the resources they need — in one place, free, and built with care.
What we’re building
Three pillars of education
Our education hub will serve every stage of the human-animal relationship.
Early childhood education
Age-appropriate interactive tools, coloring books, activity sheets, and guides teaching young children how to safely interact with, care for, and respect animals. Because the bond starts young.
Pet owner resources
A searchable library of guides on pet health, nutrition, safety, and wellbeing — organized by topic so you can find what you need fast. No more searching through endless blog posts.
Rescue organization support
Clinical checklists, condition guides, and practical resources for rescue groups — covering the things they may not know to look for, built from decades of real case experience.
Most people just assume young people know how to treat animals — but it’s not necessarily the case. We want to change that.Bernadette Vinci — Founder & CEO, Guardian HEALS
