Animal-Assisted Education

Animal-Assisted Education helps students achieve academic and educational goals in the classroom. Hand in Paw Therapy Teams help children build reading skills, gain confidence, and foster pro-social behaviors.

Sit, Stay, Read!

The Sit, Stay, Read! program was designed for struggling readers and is committed to improving literacy skills. On a weekly basis, students read aloud to nonjudgmental furry friends and their caring handlers. Hand in Paw advocates for an inclusive learning environment by providing books that explore social and emotional themes as well as multicultural books that celebrate diversity and equality.
