All volunteers must have their own dog to participate and this animal must be compatible with other dogs and like children.  What is Canine Literacy? Canine Literacy is a National program focusing on elementary aged children with reading problems. The Canine Literacy encourages these children to read to selected dogs. How does Canine Literacy help children with reading problems? Children are at ease with a dog and do not feel the peer pressures of the classroom. Mistakes are met with a wet, slobbery dog kiss, thus, increasing self esteem. What do the volunteers do in this situation? Volunteers accompany their personal pets and channel all questions, reading errors, vocabulary, etc. thru the animal. When children are encouraged to talk to “their” dog, they appear to be more relaxed and confident. How is the Humane Society involved in this program? The Humane Society currently has a very successful Pet Therapy program. Many of the selected dogs are chosen out of the Pet Therapy program. Additionally, the Humane Society conducts Canine Good Citizenship testing and the dogs that pass this test are encouraged to sign up for Canine Literacy. What is the time commitment? Volunteers are asked to commit approximately one hour per week for a six week period. When will the next Canine Literacy begin? We hope to set up the program and begin in the Fall of 2005. How do I become involved as a volunteer? If you are a current volunteer @ the Humane Society then contact Judy Phillips @ 367-3335 or jjp@omniglobal.net. If you are not currently involved as a volunteer and are interested in the Canine Literacy program, stop by the Humane Society and fill out a volunteer application. You will be contacted.   2006 Pet Planner Calendar Kathleen C.
