Youth Programs

Centre County PAWS offers a variety of programs for children to learn about responsible pet ownership and engage with the animals in our shelter. From summer programs to enrichment ideas and craft projects for a rainy day, there are plenty of opportunities to help our animals no matter how old you are!

Learn With Furry Friends

PAWS Reading Program - (Cancelled for 2022) The PAWS Reading Program is an opportunity for elementary-age students to come to PAWS and read to cats. Reading to cats serves to socialize the cats and provide a non-threatening reading environment for kids to develop their literary skills.
