Read to Homeless Dogs
Twice a month SPCA of Northern Nevada partner with a local literary specialist The Reading Gal for Reading with Rescues! Participants in this special program get a full tour of our Adoption Center and have the kennels all to themselves for a reading session with our dogs. All ages are welcome!

Reading with Rescues is a wonderful opportunity for our community to engage with our animals, give kids a chance to sharpen their reading skills in front of a nonjudgemental audience, and provide much-needed one-on-one time with our pups (you won’t believe how much it calms them!).

Are you a member of a community group that would like to learn more about our organization and read to our homeless pets? You can email the Community Engagement and Volunteer Manager at nayla@spcanevada.org about setting up a private tour and informal reading with rescues session!
