Education
Paws to Read
Our therapy dog teams are available to visit local Elementary Schools upon request. Where children have the opportunity to read a story to the dogs and overcome any fears they may have about reading aloud. Owner/Handlers accompany the dogs and are there to assist with any words the children might need help with. All of our dogs are certified through Alliance of Therapy Dogs.
Education Programs
