Tale for Two benefits children and animals alike! 

Tale for Two is a “reading-to-animals” program for children ages five through 16, encouraging them to read aloud to adoptable shelter animals! Animals will benefit from increased socialization and reduced stress levels, while children will work on their literacy and reading skills, building their self-esteem and confidence.
