Education
Angel Paws is a registered R.E.A.D.® affiliate organization

Angel Paws offers the administrative quality and structure of carefully planned and implemented 
in-house programs without the in-house burden on limited resources.  We also offer more flexible services and volunteer placements for facilities not interested in the structure of a full service program or who may already have their own programs currently being implemented.   
Please click HERE for more information about our Reading Education Assistance Dogs programs.

We are very grateful to all who share our commitment to excellence!
If you represent a facility interested in implementing one of our R.E.A.D. programs 
please see our program implementation information & contact us.  
Comments about Angel Paws from facility staff, parents & volunteers can be found in our 
Testimonials & Scientific Benefits links.
We look forward to implementing more R.E.A.D. programs soon! 
Please contact us ASAP if you would like to volunteer!

Angel Paws/R.E.A.D. began at Eagle Wings Academy in March 2013!  Eagle Wings Academy exists to provide a specialized and safe environment, where students can optimize their social, emotional, and educational potential in order to become confident individuals, who can embrace the future.  By providing an environment that facilitates positive learning experiences through staff, parents, students, school districts and the community, every individual touched by Eagle Wings Academy will be able to set an example of compassion, integrity and confidence, impacting the communities in which they walk, from a circle of friends to society.

Angel Paws/R.E.A.D.'s "Puppy Tales" library program first debuted at LCL in 2006.  Children sign up in advance for a private  20 minute R.E.A.D. session with an Angel Paws literacy mentor and Pet Partners Therapy Pet (usually a dog).  We periodically schedule limited engagements at LCL for 6 week sessions and sometimes provide ongoing programs of once or twice per month.   The Licking County Library (LCL) has been serving Licking County since 1908.   LCL enriches lives by connecting our community with the world of ideas and information.   Comments ...
