Looking for a reading buddy who never interrupts, never judges, and thinks every story is the best story ever? Meet Paws for Reading at GHHS!
This unique program invites readers of all ages to share books with our shelter dogs and cats – giving animals comforting human interaction while helping readers build confidence, practice skills, and simply enjoy the magic of storytelling.
Research shows that reading to animals helps improve reading ability, confidence, and relaxation. And for our shelter pets? Your voice brings calm moments, enrichment, and positive socialization while they wait for their forever homes. It’s a win-win filled with cuddles and compassion.
ALL READERS must complete a GHHS volunteer application and orientation prior to signing up the first time.
