Spirit Ridge K9 Training & Rescue thanks our librarians Donna and Leah (who tirelessly assist us with all the paperwork, scheduling and interactions with parents as well as helping the young readers pick age-appropriate reading material). In addition, our gratitude is also extended to all our volunteer handlers and their "Literacy Assistance Dogs". Everyone have worked hard to make our November 14, 2009 event a resounding success! We look forward to our next event on January 23, 2010.
