SUMMARY:Reading with the Animals: Mondays 4:00pm - 6:00pm December 2023
DESCRIPTION:Bring or borrow a book and read to shelter animals. Research has shown that reading to animals has a positive impact on both the animals and the people who interact with them. It increases both reading proficiency and confidence in children. It also socializes the animals and helps them get adopted. Reading with animals is a win win for everyone!\nReading with Animals is open to everyone 5 years and older. \nEvery Monday between 4 pm and 6 pm. Sessions are 20 minutes long.  \nPLEASE NOTE: This event takes place after regular hours and the building will be locked. Please wait at the middle door marked “Learning Center”. You will be greeted by staff at your assigned time. \nCost: $10 per session (Select the date and the time you would like below) \nRefund/cancellation policy: It is not the NHSPCA’s policy to give refunds for cancellations. For events postponed due to illness or inclement weather\, we will make all attempts to reschedule or provide a credit to use toward future programming.   \nWaiver: I recognize that in conjunction with my child’s attendance at the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NHSPCA)\, my child will be in contact with and may be allowed to hold and pet animals. I understand that despite all precautions taken\, there is a chance that my child may contract a disease or illness by handling the animals. I further understand that there is a chance that my child may sustain a scratch or bite while handling animals. I understand that the above is illustrative of the types of risks involved in participating in programs at the NHSPCA\, but is in no way a complete list of possible risks. By checking the YES box when registering\, I do hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and discharge the NHSPCA\, including its employees\, successors\, assigns\, directors\, officers\, and agents from and against any and all claims\, obligations\, and liabilities of any nature relating to or arising out of my child’s participation with this NHSPCA program.  I certify that I am the registered child’s legal parent or legal guardian.

SUMMARY:Deck the Howls 2023
DESCRIPTION:Come spread joy to homeless animals and shine a light on the lifesaving efforts of the NHSPCA by joining our favorite winter event\, Deck the Howls! \nChildren ages 6-12 are invited to join us on Thursday December 14\, 2023\, from 5:30-7:30 pm for a special opportunity to take a candlelight tour\, read a bedtime story to one of our rescues\, make holiday crafts\, decorate the shelter and enjoy some yummy treats.  \nWear some howliday PJs (or any comfy jammies!) and closed-toe shoes and bring your favorite story to share with the animals. Don’t have a favorite? Don’t worry\, we’ll have books you can borrow!  \nCOST: $25 per child  \nDue to the size of our indoor spaces\, we recommend parents either drop their children off or limit adult visitors to one per family. We want to make sure the kids and staff have plenty of room to comfortably move around and that our animals don’t get overwhelmed! Please note\, if you do choose to stay\, you may be asked to wait in the lobby for portions of the event.   \nBooking and Refund Policy  \nSpaces for this event fill up quickly\, so register early!
