Rescue Readers

Read to Adoptable Animals at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League

An exciting program for children ages 5 -15 to read aloud to adoptable animals at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

In order to participate, readers of all ages must attend an orientation. A parent/guardian must also be present during all reading sessions and during the required orientation. Each reader must be registered separately. One adult may accompany up to 3 children.

Whether your children are too young to volunteer on campus and looking for service hours, or you’re looking for a new way to engage your kids, reading to shelter animals is a perfect fit. Not only are the children able to develop their reading skills and boost self-esteem in front of a non-judgmental audience, but it also provides valuable socialization and love to the shelter animals.
