We want to encourage the animals to approach the front of the kennel when visitors and potential adopters are present. Animals who approach the kennel front get adopted more quickly\, thus reducing the average length of stay. \nReading to shelter animals has many benefits for both the animal and the reader. Because animals don’t judge a child’s reading level\, a child is likely to feel less hesitant to read out loud. This provides an environment for readers to gain confidence and improve their literacy skills. The animals also benefit from story time. A shelter is a stressful place for animals; reading time provides a calm\, low-stress socialization opportunity. Scared and skittish animals have an opportunity to develop social skills and learn that humans are kind. Friendly animals get to have extra social time and are able to take a break from the shelter’s stressful environment. All reading sessions are chaperoned by adult staff members and volunteers. The adults provide reading support to the children and make sure safety protocols are being followed. \nFor our young volunteers\, the Reading Program helps foster compassion and empathy\, while providing a supportive environment in which to develop their reading skills. In addition\, the program provides children the opportunity to make a positive impact by helping animals in need. \n3:30-3:55 PM – Small Animals reading sessions4:00-4:30 PM – Cat reading sessions \nChildren ages 6 to 13 years are welcome to participate in PMHS-CV’s Paws & Pages Reading Program every Wednesday and read to cats and small animals. If you have any questions\, please contact Community Engagement at communityengagement@popememorialcvhs.org. \nThank you for your interest in this program and for encouraging your child to put their “compassion into action” through volunteering. \nWhat to Bring: \nYou may bring your favorite books if you’d like\, but it is not required. We have a library of animal-themed books available. \nPLEASE NOTE: ONE parent is required to attend and must accompany the child every time they come to read. Closed-toed\, rubber-soled shoes are recommended to protect your feet and give better traction when walking through the animal rooms. You are welcome to bring a favorite book but we do have a library with animal-themed books to choose from. You can come read for as little or as long as you’d like during designated hours. \nCancellations: Please notify us via email or phone at least one week prior to your scheduled session if you need to cancel or reschedule. You can be added to an upcoming open session.  URL:https://popememorialcvhs.org/event/reading-fur-fun-10/ LOCATION:Pope Memorial Humane Society\, 221 County Farm Road\, Dover\, NH\, 03820\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://popememorialcvhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Your-paragraph-text-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="Pope Memorial Humane Society":MAILTO:events@popememorialcvhs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240407T154500 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240407T170000 DTSTAMP:20260422T202049 CREATED:20240308T205951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240308T205955Z UID:18261-1712504700-1712509200@popememorialcvhs.org SUMMARY:Paws & Poses DESCRIPTION:Paws & Poses – Yoga with Shelter Animals!\nJoin us at Barre & Soul in Portsmouth on April 7th from 4-5 pm for yoga with shelter animals!

We want to encourage the animals to approach the front of the kennel when visitors and potential adopters are present. Animals who approach the kennel front get adopted more quickly\, thus reducing the average length of stay. \nReading to shelter animals has many benefits for both the animal and the reader. Because animals don’t judge a child’s reading level\, a child is likely to feel less hesitant to read out loud. This provides an environment for readers to gain confidence and improve their literacy skills. The animals also benefit from story time. A shelter is a stressful place for animals; reading time provides a calm\, low-stress socialization opportunity. Scared and skittish animals have an opportunity to develop social skills and learn that humans are kind. Friendly animals get to have extra social time and are able to take a break from the shelter’s stressful environment. All reading sessions are chaperoned by adult staff members and volunteers. The adults provide reading support to the children and make sure safety protocols are being followed. \nFor our young volunteers\, the Reading Program helps foster compassion and empathy\, while providing a supportive environment in which to develop their reading skills. In addition\, the program provides children the opportunity to make a positive impact by helping animals in need. \n3:30-3:55 PM – Small Animals reading sessions4:00-4:30 PM – Cat reading reading sessions \nChildren ages 6 to 13 years are welcome to participate in PMHS-CV’s Paws & Pages Reading Program every Wednesday and read to cats and small animals. If you have any questions\, please contact Community Engagement at communityengagement@popememorialcvhs.org. \nThank you for your interest in this program and for encouraging your child to put their “compassion into action” through volunteering. \nWhat to Bring: \nYou may bring your favorite books if you’d like\, but it is not required. We have a library of animal-themed books available. \nPLEASE NOTE: ONE parent is required to attend and must accompany the child every time they come to read. Closed-toed\, rubber-soled shoes are recommended to protect your feet and give better traction when walking through the animal rooms. You are welcome to bring a favorite book but we do have a library with animal-themed books to choose from. You can come read for as little or as long as you’d like during designated hours. \nCancellations: Please notify us via email or phone at least one week prior to your scheduled session if you need to cancel or reschedule.

We want to encourage the animals to approach the front of the kennel when visitors and potential adopters are present. Animals who approach the kennel front get adopted more quickly\, thus reducing the average length of stay. \nReading to shelter animals has many benefits for both the animal and the reader. Because animals don’t judge a child’s reading level\, a child is likely to feel less hesitant to read out loud. This provides an environment for readers to gain confidence and improve their literacy skills. The animals also benefit from story time. A shelter is a stressful place for animals; reading time provides a calm\, low-stress socialization opportunity. Scared and skittish animals have an opportunity to develop social skills and learn that humans are kind. Friendly animals get to have extra social time and are able to take a break from the shelter’s stressful environment. All reading sessions are chaperoned by adult staff members and volunteers. The adults provide reading support to the children and make sure safety protocols are being followed. \nFor our young volunteers\, the Reading Program helps foster compassion and empathy\, while providing a supportive environment in which to develop their reading skills. In addition\, the program provides children the opportunity to make a positive impact by helping animals in need. \nChildren ages 6 to 13 years are welcome to participate in PMHS-CV’s Paws & Pages Reading Program every Wednesday and read to cats and small animals. If you have any questions\, please contact Community Engagement at communityengagement@popememorialcvhs.org. \nThank you for your interest in this program and for encouraging your child to put their “compassion into action” through volunteering. \nWhat to Bring: \nYou may bring your favorite books if you’d like\, but it is not required. We have a library of animal-themed books available. \nPLEASE NOTE: One parent is required to attend and must accompany the child every time they come to read. Closed-toed\, rubber-soled shoes are recommended to protect your feet and give better traction when walking through the animal rooms. You are welcome to bring a favorite book but we do have a library with animal-themed books to choose from. You can come read for as little or as long as you’d like during designated hours. \nCancellations: Please notify us via email or phone at least one week prior to your scheduled session if you need to cancel or reschedule. You can be added to an upcoming open session.  URL:https://popememorialcvhs.org/event/reading-fur-fun-2/ LOCATION:Pope Memorial Cocheco Valley Humane Society\, 221 County Farm Road\, Dover\, NH\, 03820\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://popememorialcvhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Your-paragraph-text-2.png ORGANIZER;CN="Pope Memorial Humane Society":MAILTO:events@popememorialcvhs.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240207T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240207T163000 DTSTAMP:20260422T202049 CREATED:20240127T182810Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T221554Z UID:17770-1707318000-1707323400@popememorialcvhs.org SUMMARY:Reading Fur Fun DESCRIPTION:The Reading Fur Fun Reading Program is a mutually beneficial experience designed to help shy\, anxious shelter animals feel more comfortable around people by having young advocates read to them.
