My daughter and I were lucky enough to spend a few minutes this morning at the Yorkville Public Library during a “Reading with Paws” event. This event takes place once a month and volunteers from the Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club show up with their furry partners.
We really wanted to thank the wonderful volunteers and their canines. It was so nice to sit and talk with each of you and learn more about the special service you provide. These awesome volunteers included Sue, Katie with canine Daisey, and Karen with canine Hudson.
The library requires anyone wishing to attend to sign up in advance for a spot (spots go fast so sign up as soon as possible). Next event is October 15, 2022, from 10:30am through 11:30am.
For those that didn’t know… the Fox Valley Therapy Dog Club is a volunteer organization proving a variety of canine assisted therapy programs and services in the communities of Illinois, including Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties, since 2002.
