Connecticut Humane Society: Beyond the Breed: Exploring Dog DNA | Thursday, August 6, 2026 | 1:00pm - 2:00pm | McKnight Community Room | Register at tinyurl.com/HMLDogDNA

Dog owners are becoming increasingly interested in the genetic makeup of their furry family members. As the popularity of Canine DNA testing grows and the trend of “Breed Reveal Parties” takes hold, the need for a general understanding of dog evolution and genetics grows. In order for owners to fully understand how their small mixed-breed dog could possibly have German Shepherd in its DNA, they need a basic understanding of canine genetics.

This program will provide the skills needed to identify dog breeds based on their phenotypic characteristics, give background information on canine evolution, and provide a basic understanding of canine genetics.

Disclaimer: The CT Humane Society does not teach any in-person programs with live animals for safety, allergy, distraction, and fear concerns.

Dinosaur Scales | Friday, July 24, 2026 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm | Ages 7-12 | Register at tinyurl.com/dinoscales

Do you know the height of a Spinosaurus? How about the weight of the T. rex? Come find out in Dinosaur Scales, a math-filled prehistoric adventure! Participants will explore the amazing sizes of five different dinosaurs by measuring their heights, lengths, and weights. Then comes the challenge: how many kids would it take to equal the size or weight of a giant dinosaur?

Using hands-on activities and fun worksheets, children will make predictions, record measurements, compare numbers, and discover just how enormous these prehistoric creatures really were. Practice math skills like estimation, measurement, multiplication, and data recording in an exciting and interactive setting. These scales must be experienced to be believed!
