Telling Tails
Telling Tails is a volunteer program for adults with children ages 5-17 to read to adoptable animals (mostly cats) at MHHS on Sundays, between 2-4 pm.
- Adults become volunteers, and are responsible for training and supervising their children.
- If your application is approved, we will send you an orientation and related virtual trainings for opportunities that you are interested in.
- For Telling Tails volunteers: a small start-up fee of $60 covers the cost of the background check, supplies, uniform and training.
- A background check is required.
- Please note: we use peanut butter throughout our facility.
