Forgotten Angels with the help of
Principal Wilkerson of North
Stonington Elementary School and
State Farm Insurance agent Curtis
Boyd, kicked off our first bite
prevention class. Maureen Shepard,
Jennifer Johansen, and Mark
Wickerd along with Madison (German
Shepard) taught the children how to
approach dogs and other animals.
They also taught how to avoid being
bitten by a dog and how to protect
yourself if you are attacked by a dog.
Guest speaker Connecticut State
Police Trooper Perez spoke about
how she was attacked by a dog while
on duty and is now recovering after
several surgeries due to the severity
of the attack. We hope to get into
several schools this year with our
program. 4.6 million people a year
are bitten by dogs and 60% of those
are children. These classes are very
important for the safety of your
children. If your school would like to
participate in this education program
please contact Forgotten Angels at
860-389-3931.
The classes are free and taught by
volunteers. Each newsletter will
feature safety tips and animal care
tips.

Teach Children To Be kind To Animals.
Children of all ages love to learn about
animals. Teach them not only how to care for
their own pets, but also how to treat wildlife. Take
a group of kids on a nature hike or a tour of a
local animal shelter. The lessons they learn while
they're young will stay with them for a lifetime.
You can help an animal in trouble.
Immediately report animal abuse
and neglect to your local animal
control officer or humane society.
Responsible Care
Did you know that you can help prevent the suffering
and death of millions of animals? Spay or neuter your
pets! A spayed or neutered animal will live a longer,
healthier life.
When you adopt an animal, be prepared for a lifetime
commitment. Kittens and puppies are cute, but most
people lose interest when these animals grow up. As a
result, cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are
euthanized or suffer as strays.
Many of these were the result of unwanted, unplanned
litters that could have been prevented by spaying or
neutering.
Rarely surviving for more than a few years on their
own, strays die painfully by starvation, disease,
freezing or being hit by cars.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
