Pawsitive Reading – a program in which children visit the shelter to read to the pets – is designed to provide enrichment for kids, dogs, and cats. Believe it or not, just listening to a person reading out loud has been proven to lower stress levels in animals! Pawsitive Reading is also a great way for kids to work on their literacy skills in a safe, fun environment. In order to join the Pawsitive Reading program, children AND at least one parent/guardian must first attend a one-time Pawsitive Reading orientation. We offer several orientations each month. Upcoming orientation dates and sign-up links are below. Advance registration is required.
Please note: Parents/guardians must be the ones to sign up for an orientation and must accompany children to the orientation. When signing up, please select the number of tickets that reflects how many people will be attending the orientation. 4 family members = 4 tickets.
