Hey Byrd Eagles! Check out this awesome opportunity to read to a shelter dog!
📚🐾 Calling all young readers!
Did you know you can help shelter animals just by reading a book?
Join us every Thursday from 4:00–6:00 PM for our Read to Shelter Pets program! Children can spend a relaxing 30-minute session reading to one of our dogs or cats in a quiet room. Reading aloud not only helps build confidence and strengthen reading skills, but it also provides comfort, enrichment, and positive socialization for our shelter animals.
✨ Books are provided.
✨ Parents may reserve multiple back-to-back sessions.
✨ Our volunteers will help bring the animals to and from the reading room.
Whether your child is just learning to read or already loves getting lost in a good book, this is a wonderful way to practice while making a shelter pet’s day a little brighter.
📩 To sign up, contact Erin Baker at [email protected].
