Santa Cruz SPCA Rescue Readers

Santa Cruz SPCA Rescue Readers

Thursdays 3:30 – 4pm

Sometimes the ideal audience for a new reader is a doting dog or cat who hangs on every word, whether or not it’s pronounced correctly. To facilitate these connections, the Santa Cruz SPCA offers Rescue Readers, a program designed to give young readers a chance to practice and enhance their literacy in the comfortable presence of shelter animals. These cute, cuddly, judgment-free listeners enjoy the extra TLC while they wait for their forever homes.

Rescue Readers are available Thursdays each month (excluding some holidays) from 3:30-4:00 pm September through May, for individuals or one group of up to 10 youth.
