Special sponsored Read to the Animals Night at FWACC!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 17, 2025) \u2013 Tell your friends! On Monday August 18th, 2025, animal lovers ages 5 and up can participate in the Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control\u2019s Humane Education program called Read to the Animals at no charge, thanks to our friends at Fido\u2019s Forest! Registration is required.<\/p>\n

Read to the Animals provides participants an opportunity to spend 30 minutes in their own room while reading with an adoptable shelter animal, most often small animals, cats or kittens. This program is a win-win for all since it has been proven that the presence of animals reduces stress and participants help to socialize our adoptable shelter animals while they wait to be adopted. Read to the Animals is offered year-round but typically has a $5 donation fee associated with registration.<\/p>\n

Reading registration is on a first come, first reserve basis, and reading begins as early as 4:00pm and the final reading slots start at 6:30pm.<\/p>\n

Space is limited. To register for Read to the Animals, visit the Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control website, under youth programs or go to: https:\/\/www.cityoffortwayne.in.gov\/275\/Youth-Programs<\/p>\n
