The Humane Society of Sarasota County’s “Reading Fur Fun” program helps children learn and improve reading skills. Studies show that being with pets, even for a short time, can lower blood pressure, decrease depression, and enhance health in many other ways.

This unconditional acceptance allows a child to relax and begin to enjoy reading.
