Dogs for Schools is a non-partisan grass-roots campaign to decrease violence and depression among children and adults while protecting our schools in a simple, cost-effective way. Encouraging teachers and school staff  to certify their own dogs and bring them to school each day will create a generation that has less anger and fewer violent tendencies.

Dogs in classrooms have been shown to:

* Teach Empathy and Compassion
* Decrease Bullying and Conflicts among both Teachers and Students
* Raise IQ levels
* Encourage Respect for Authority
* Provide New Opportunities for Learning

Dogs are also known to:

* Protect Companions from Harm
