Telling Tails Paws and Pumpkins Party

October 19, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
A boy sits next to a cat, reading a book out loud. Above the cat, a thought bubble shows it imagining enjoying a bowl of food. On the other side, a girl reads aloud beside a dog, whose thought bubble shows it dressed as a superhero. An open book in the center divides the two scenes.

Join us for the Telling Tails Paws and Pumpkins Party!

This fun and rewarding experience helps children build confidence and improve reading skills — all while enriching the lives of our shelter pets. Designed for children ages 6 to 17, this special fall-themed event will feature fun activities, reading time with shelter pets, and the chance to make your very own pawsicle!
