Events › Read to a Dog

Kids and teens will have the opportunity for a one-on-one reading session with a registered therapy dog and their handler. This program requires advanced registration.

Participants can choose to read to either Peep, Alex, Coco or Chewy as space allows.

Peep is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle mix. She is 6 years old and loves to chase her ball.

Alex is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. He loves people, but is obsessed with his ball. He also loves to swim & retrieve his ball from the lake.

Coco is a 2-year-old chocolate Labrador rescue. Her favorite things to do is play with her frisbee and eat!

Chewy is a Shi Tzu.

Parents/caregivers must remain with their child(ren) for the duration of the program.
