What is the Reading Tails program? A fun program to help kids practice their reading, by reading bedtime stories to shelter pets!

Reading Tails includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the shelter, and plenty of time for participating kids to read a bedtime story to a shelter pet of their choosing - dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, or even a mouse! Kids just need to bring their favorite book and a flashlight. 

Please note our Reading Tails registration process has changed. There are now dates reserved for groups (such as Girl Scout Troops), and dates reserved for individual families. To register your group, or to register your family, click on the correct selection below.

If there are no dates visible, it means all the upcoming sessions are full. There is no waitlist. Please check back to this webpage to view future dates!
