Tall Tails

Spend one-on-one time and read a story with a furry friend!

Children of all reading levels are encouraged to get to know one of Canine Companion's future service dogs. These dogs will one day work alongside people with disabilities to help increase their independence.

Each child will get 15 minutes of reading time with their pawsome audience to practice their literacy skills.

Tall Tails is offered on the last Wednesday of every month. Registration is required for children participating. Look below to see photos of some of the wonderful dogs who have visited!

Canine Companions was established in 1975 and is a national organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained service dogs at no charge to the recipient. With six training centers spread across the US, Canine Companions is the largest provider of service dogs in the world.
