PJ'S PALS
Just who are PJ's Pals?
PJ's Pals is a group of dedicated volunteer certified therapy dog teams that visit schools and libraries, primarily in the High Desert, to promote children's literacy.
All teams are registered with a nationally recognized agency such as Delta Society or Therapy Dogs Inc., each dog and handler has successfully completed extensive training, and each team has been tested under real-life situations to assure skills and temperament meet high standards. The teams have also been specially trained to do the R.E.A.D.® Program developed by Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) of Salt Lake City, Utah, and are registered with ITA.
PJ's Pals uses dogs as non-judgmental observers while children read to them. We donate books and special incentives to children at schools and the libraries to make reading fun and relaxed.

Our work is funded by donations from the community. All donations and bequests are welcomed and are deductible for income tax purposes.
