Please read the information fully before asking questions. We will not answer email inquiries, private messages or comments that ask questions that have the answers already listed. Please understand that all correspondence is answered by volunteers who work full-time, have other commitments to STARS and their own families. Following directions is a key component in allowing you to volunteer. We are all here to help the animals. Thank you for your understanding.
Adults and children will spend time reading to the animals. This program will help adults reduce stress and children improve their reading skills while also helping the shelter animals by providing socialization, companionship and human interaction. Dogs & Cats find the rhythmic sound of a voice very comforting and soothing.

4. You will be reading to animals outside of their cages.

7. Please arrive 15 minutes early. You will not be allowed entry to the building after the start time. The door will be locked. We will be strict on this. Knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell upsets the animals. Please arrive early.
