Research shows reading can have a calming effect on animals. Rescue Readers is a one-hour program for all readers, where participants read to the animals in our adoption centers. Readers provide soothing company to dogs, cats, and critters as they await adoption. As a bonus, new readers gain confidence and improve their reading skills.
In order to comply with current CDC guidelines, each reading session will have no more than three participants. Prior to registering, please review our updated Humane Education program policies related to COVID-19.
