Winchester SPCA launches Paws & Pages thanks to a grant from the Cochran Family Youth Fund CFNSV

Published

on

Get your reading in at the Winchester SPCA and help a homeless pet feel a little less lonely.

Stop by the adoption center (111 Featherbed Lane, Winchester, VA 22601) during the week from Tuesday to Friday, 10am to 5pm, and participate in the shelter’s animal and reader enrichment program, Paws & Pages.

There are two reading stations set up in the adoption center. Grab a cushion on your way into the cat or dog room, place yourself in front of a kennel, and make the shelter feel a little more like home. Programs like Paws & Pages have been proven to enhance reading skills for the reader and reduce kennel stress for the pets.

Readers of all ages are welcome. Students under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Bring your own book or read one provided.

Paws & Pages is made possible due to a grant from the Cochran Family Youth Fund through the Community Foundation of the Northern Shenandoah Valley.

Downloadable brochure for the full history of this local animal and reader enrichment program can be found here: winchesterspca.org/paws-pages
