We will meet in the main building for all reading. Reading to dogs takes place in the conference room and will begin at 3:00 pm and end at 3:40 pm. Reading to cats will take place in the Kitty Cabana and begin at 3:50 and end at 4:30 pm. 

Space is limited to 5 youth for dogs and 5 youth for cats. If your child is interested you will need to reserve their spot a head of time for either dogs, cats or both. Email education@cachehumane.org or call the shelter 435-792-3920.
