Storytime at the CAP Animal Shelter
Does your child love animals and want to help our homeless animals? Did you know they can provide enrichment to shelter animals by reading to them?!
Parents are invited to accompany children ages 6 & up to read a book aloud to a furry friend for 20-minute intervals. Children gain confidence in their reading skills while helping shy homeless animals become more comfortable around people. Our furry residents crave attention, and this program provides it in a comforting and non-threatening manner. This program requires no training & no waivers.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
We encourage kids to bring their favorite books to share with the animals. We also have a few dozen animal-themed books that children can choose to read from as well. All shelter animals will remain inside their kennel space.
Children are invited to sit outside a kennel space on the floor and read calmly using soft voices, making no sudden movements for a period lasting no longer than 20 minutes per pet.
Animal-approved treats provided by the CAP Animal Shelter may be given to our homeless animals with the help of a CAP staff member or CAP volunteer.
