Children can spend a half hour reading to one of the shelter dogs or HAWS alumni dogs. Research has shown that “the presence of a calm, attentive dog” when children are reading aloud reduces stress and improves concentration much more than a supportive adult, or even a friend. Animals in shelters are often lonely and in need of interaction and socialization. Reading to animals at a shelter can give them some much needed one-on-one time with a companion in a calm setting. It can also help skittish dogs and cats develop social skills that give them a better chance of being adopted.
There are two reading stalls available to reserve for each time slot.
