Shelter Buddies Reading Event

Come and read to shelter pets at GHHS!

Research shows reading to shelter pets reduces the anxiety they feel in the shelter setting while nurturing empathy in children. Additional research proves children who read to dogs for 10 to 15 minutes per week experience a 12% increase in reading proficiency.

This program is open to children 6-15, and a guardian must be present during the child's visit. Come and read to our wonderful pets, the 2nd Saturday of each month, 2pm-4pm.

Have your child bring their favorite book and join us!
