Paws to Read - Reading with Therapy Dogs - Valley Human Society

Come practice your reading skills with Valley Human Society's certified therapy dogs. Our furry friends would love to help beginning readers build confidence in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment.

Note: Families are asked to wait right outside the room, giving readers and dogs space to focus.

Participating children should not be afraid of dogs nor be allergic to dogs.

This program is for children grades 1-5.

Because space is limited, please register for just one session per child.

Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests!

An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or [email protected].
