READ TO DOGS program launching at Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue

Kids reading to dogs is a great way for young children to enhance their reading skills, and it also helps the timid rescue dogs feel calmer

This reading program is designed to assist in the adoption of shy and fearful dogs with high anxiety or stress, as well as getting children involved in learning about dog behavior while improving their reading skills. The Mostly Mutts reading program is hosted by certified dog trainer Emily Shervin of The Gratefull Dog. The program will be held every Tuesday beginning April 12, from 1:30-2:00 pm and 7:00-7:30 pm. Space is limited, you must sign up in advance by emailing reading@mostlymutts.org (no drop-offs, parents must stay during reading sessions)
