The Paws and Pages Literacy Program aims to give children the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of shelter pets while building confidence and improving reading skills. It has been observed by the APSCA that being read to helps fearful or shy dogs become more comfortable with people because there is no forced interaction. Here at HSSA, we will read to shy dogs and cats as well as sick dogs who are long term residents with limited human interaction. As exemplified by shelter literacy programs across the country, this reading program will encourage our shelter pets to approach the front of their kennels for potential adopters and thus improve their chances of a short stay with us at HSSA.

The Hand in Paw Kid’s Club is getting a crash course in feral cat communities! Feral cats are often confused with stray cats, but at this event we will learn why that is not the case. Tucson is home to many feral cats and has a community to support them.
We will learn about what it means to be feral, how it affects our community and environment, and why they are supported within our county. Additionally, we will also learn what we as community members can do to support them, such as creating safe houses and food receptacles for them and “Trap, Neuter, Return”.
The fee for this event is $10 for HIP members and $15 for non-members. This event will take place in the Education Center at HSSA’s new campus located at 635 W Roger Rd.

Join us for Movie and a Cuddle!
We will have games, crafts, a pizza dinner, some popcorn popping, therapy dogs and a favorite children’s movie projected on the big screen!
Feel free to bring your own blanket, stuffed animals and wear your favorite PJ’s!
Cost is $20 for HIP member and $30 for non-members.
