Paws for Tales Reading Program

Our certified dog and volunteer teams help children ages 5 and older to feel more comfortable by reading aloud to a dog and therefore improving their reading skills in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. NAHS supplies the books which all contain humane themes such as kindness, empathy and compassion. We are happy to report that seven schools are receiving visits from our teams and the results are extremely positive.

We are looking for some additional books. If you would like to support the NAHS' Paws for Tales reading program, please consider purchasing an Amazon gift card or one or more of these books for the shelter:
