Humane Society inviting young readers to read to dogs

The Humane Society of Marion County is inviting children ages 5 to 12 to come read to a shelter dog on select Saturday mornings at 11 a.m. The child must register in advance.

Registration can be completed online at www.thehsmc.org. Click on the Events tab and then on “Doggone Good Reading Program Online Registration.” Choose up to two dates.

The Humane Society of Marion County will host the Doggone Good Reading Program

The Humane Society will call and confirm the week before your date. Maximum of 12 children per session.

A parent/guardian must accompany the child and stay at the shelter (in a separate area) while the child is reading. This is because children do better when they are reading to a non-judgmental dog with no outside criticism.
