The shelter has books, but children are encouraged to bring their own books that are at their reading level.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parents cannot attend the reading sessions. Each two-hour session includes time reading to animals, a group read-aloud, an education lesson, and a dog meet-and-greet.

The sessions can accommodate eight children and costs $10 per child. Reserve a spot here.

The shelter also hosts events for children younger than 6. Click here for details.
