Jacksonville Humane Society's Pawsitive Reading Orientation

  • When: Tuesday, March 31, 2026,  5:00 pm -  6:00 pm
  • Location: 8464 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL, 32216

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.
Orientations will take place in either the JHS Education Center or Conference Room (both are located upstairs, above the Adoption Center). Our address is 8464 Beach Blvd.
In order to join the Pawsitive Reading program, children AND at least one parent/guardian must first attend a one-time Pawsitive Reading orientation.
