We are always happy to visit schools and speak to children of all ages on the subject of animal welfare. We prefer to bring along a rescued dog that has been restored to health, but only with the permission of the School concerned. Facts, figures and statistics are provided in order to provide a lesson from the visit. Details of visits made to cases, photographs, and information on general animal care will be given. A 'question and answer' session is encouraged. Do please call us to make arrangements. The future of animal welfare lies with the youth of today!

Mayo SPCA introduce an abandoned Alsatian named “Captain” to the 2D (CSPE class)
Mayo SPCA is an organisation which looks after the welfare of abused and abandoned animals in Mayo. They are a voluntary run, non-profit making organisation, with a “no kill” policy, dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals in Co. Mayo. Ms. Ferguson’s 2D CSPE class learned about Mayo SPCA as they investigated animal welfare issues in Ireland as part of their coursework. Mayo SPCA were kind enough to send two volunteers to visit the CSPE class on 3 October. The speakers were invited into our classroom to share some of their experiences and to answer questions relating to animal welfare in Mayo. The volunteers brought “Captain” a cream Alsatian with them. Captain was abandoned by his owners at the side of the road and was found by the SPCA. He now lives in Westport with a lovely family. He received a warm welcome and lots of attention from the class!
  MOUNT SAINT MICHAEL SECONDARY SCHOOL CLAREMORRIS FEBRUARY 2009 On Friday 13th February, 09, we had the pleasure to being invited to speak to Nora Powers class at Mount St. Michael''s Secondary School, Claremorris. What a surprise to be presented with the HUGE amount of €786.70 every cent of which the class had raised themselves! Our very sincere thanks to them and Nora Powers for their hard work, caring attitude and kindness. We are so grateful for this monies at such a bad time of the year and it will help many animals in urgent need of vetinerary treatment. We took along little Roddy to demonstrate the type of dogs that are abandoned at the roadside every week for no faults of their own - a new experience for Roddy after being in a cell at the Barracks in Swinford! Thankfully, he went to his new home the same evening. WELL DONE TO ALL CONCERNED AND A HUGE THANK YOU FROM OUR ANIMALS IN NEED.
 Ballyhaunis Community School January 2009 On Thursday 22nd January, 09, we were invited to speak to pupils at Ballyhaunis Community School. We took along 2 of our lovely pups, Tayto & Morris, and as you can see Morris took very well to a pencil! It was a very successful visit, a great class who were so interested in the work of Mayo Spca and we have many offers of help to walk our doggies, assist with fund raising and help collect kitten food. We will return in March to the same School to speak to a different class. Our thanks to Staff and pupils alike for the invitation.
 Davitt College Castlebar October 2008 They kindly presented us with a cheque for 80 euro raised from a bake sale! Our sincere thanks to them.
