Rescue Readers Orientation

Peggy Adams Rescue Readers program promotes pet literacy and community engagement.

Rescue Readers is an exciting program for children ages 5 -15 to read aloud to adoptable animals at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

As a Rescue Reader, children are able to develop their reading skills and boost their self-esteem in front of a non-judgmental audience while providing valuable socialization and love to our shelter animals.

How do I get started?

To participate, readers of all ages must attend ONE of the required orientation sessions, accompanied by a parent or guardian. This adult must be present and engaged during both the orientation and all reading sessions. One adult may oversee multiple children, but the group must stay together at all times. No sibling tag-along, please.

There is a $60 registration cost per child for the 7-week program, including the required orientation, training, and materials.

Reading sessions will be held on the following days:

  • March 11 & 12
  • March 18 & 19
  • March 25 & 26
  • April 1 & 2
  • April 8 & 9
  • April 22 & 23

 

Starts March 5, 2026 5:00 pm
Ends March 5, 2026 6:00 pm
