AnimalHero Crawley Bug Poems

AnimalHero® and AnimalHero® Kids were established in 2005 when Laurel visited India. She met three young girls who took extraordinary measures to care for animals. They asked her to help spread the word that kindness to animals is important. Laurel promised the girls she would start an organization to connect and celebrate children and adults worldwide that help animals.


Welcome to our global conversation about animals and their people. We connect AnimalHero® friends and AnimalHero® Kids across six continents. We inspire and educate children and adults to be kind stewards.
