Reading Pals
During the summer of 2015, P.E.T. P.A.L.S. partnered with the Waverly and Denver libraries to create a program we call Reading Pals.
A total of ten different dogs participated at various times during the three months. Six dogs visited in Waverly each week in June and listened to children as they read aloud to practice and improve their fluency and expression. Two dogs made the weekly trip to Denver during part of July and August where eager students again shared a favorite book.
Some of the dogs preferred to sit while others laid down next to the student. All of the dogs were attentive and listened politely to each child. Of course, none of them were there to judge the student's reading. They just wanted to encourage their friends and help the students to gain confidence in
their reading ability. There have been very positive comments to this program both from students and their parents.

Bark For Life
Bark For Life of Black Hawk
Gateway Park
Saturday, May 2, 2015
Pet Pals will have a booth!
If you would like to participate, here's more information about the event!
The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is a noncompetitive walk event for dogs and their owners to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
By supporting Bark For Life, you help the American Cancer Society save lives, and that helps us move closer to our ultimate goal of a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
So bring your best canine friend and join us for a fun-filled day starting with a walk, and then continuing with demonstrations, contests, and games.
Also, please note that the term "team" can be just your and your dog. If you would like to have a larger team, and have others sign up under your team that is great. However when you register you do not have to have a "team" to participate in this event, individual registration is accepted and encouraged! Each dog is $10.
Registration will take place from 9-9:30AM and our walk will begin about 9:35am after our honored guests are introduced. The silent auction will be open throughout the event until we announce the winners at 10:45AM. We will have a contest with prizes awarded to the smallest dog, youngest dog, oldest dog, and largest dog. There will be a demonstration again this year from the K-9 Unit!
NOTICE: Dogs who attend the Bark For Life must have all current vaccinations, and must be kept on a leash that is 6' or less. Owners are expected to clean up after their dogs. Water will be provided for dogs at the event. Dogs in heat are now allowed at this event.
