NSU University School Students Receive a Visit From the Davie Police Department Mounted Unit and the Humane Society of Broward County

NSU University School third grade students recently received a special visit from The Davie Police Department mounted officers and horses and a K-9 therapy dog and handler. The visit was part of their “Animals as Heroes” thematic unit to help enrich their understanding of how animals help our community. Students had the chance to interact with the animals, learn about their responsibilities, training, how they help the community, and how they are cared for.

Students also had the opportunity to meet a representative from the Humane Society of Broward County who brought a therapy dog to school to educate the students about the importance of therapy dogs, the Humane Society of Broward County Animal Assisted Therapy Program, and the Humane Society’s mission, which is to provide shelter, aid, and responsible adoptions to animals in their care and to educate the community about respect and kindness to animals.

We thank the Davie Police Department and the Humane Society of Broward County for these meaningful experiences for our students.
