Our mission at Paws and Effect is to promote and develop canine assistance to individuals and organizations in the community.

                   

      

 
 

READing Dogs is a program where children will read to our dogs to help promote and encourage reading.

Research with therapy animals indicates that children with low self-esteem are often more willing to interact with an animal than another person. Further, during such interaction they are inclined to forget about their limitations. There are also physiological benefits to interacting with animals, including increased relaxation and lower blood pressure. The premise of the R.E.A.D. program is that children will find reading to an animal less intimidating, a special time for them that is helpful and fun and will become a positive environment in which learning is facilitated.
