Pups @ Putterham Meet & Greet

Putterham

Wednesday, May 22 at 6:00 PM

If you would like to know more about therapy dogs, come meet the pups (and their handlers) who “listen” to kids reading to them on Wednesday evenings at the Putterham branch. Handlers will answer your questions about what it takes to train a therapy dog, the kinds of settings therapy dogs visit, and the characteristics that make a good therapy dog. You’ll have a chance to ask your own questions, say hello to all the pups, and feed them their favorite treats!

All ages welcome.

In honor of National Pet Month.
