Looking for weekly or bi-weekly visits any day Mon-Thurs from 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. or 4:30 - 5:00 P.M.
Goals for the program state, "We work with K-12 students who are very academically behind. Though we try to spend quality time with them focusing on reading and mathematics skills each day, the kids often struggle with motivation. We hope that having a dog to read with could add some color back into reading. Most kids at our program also come from crowded schools with difficult social environments. We want to create a calm after-school program, and having dogs visit could really help make a peaceful and loving atmosphere."
