Did you know??
Reading helps shy dogs learn to relax around people and teaches high energy dogs that calm behavior is desirable. When children tell stories to the dogs, it also helps them develop their own reading skills.
The Quincy Humane Society is proud to partner with shelters across the country for "Deck the Howls". This event was started by the Humane Society of Missouri.
This event is free, but space is very limited! Please, stop by the Quincy Humane Society to register your child.
When: Wed, Dec 12 at 5 pm CST
