Special Storytime with Potters League

Join us for a paws-itively delightful Special Storytime with the Potter League for Animals! Designed for children 18 months through preschool with a caregiver, this engaging 30-minute program blends stories, movement, and a fun pet-themed activity, all centered on learning about our animal friends.

Little ones will discover:

  • Pets you might meet at the shelter
  • How to safely and kindly meet a pet they don’t know
  • What animals need to be happy and healthy

And yes, there might even be a special animal guest!

Please note: Pet interaction is not guaranteed on the day of storytime, and waivers may be required for any hands-on interaction.

Perfect for curious kiddos who love animals, this storytime encourages empathy, safety, and early learning! Tails will be wagging and smiles will abound!

Registration opens February 1, 2026.
Space is limited—when registering, please count only the number of children attending.
