Tales to Tails
2025-12-14 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | DPA! Adoption Container, 3110 Commonwealth Dr., Dallas, TX, 75247, United States
Sign up your little one today to become a ‘Tales and Tails’ volunteer, where they can read their favorite stories to our adorable and adoptable foster dogs.

We’re creating joyful moments and building a brighter future for both children and our furry companions. Join us for an evening where young readers become the storytellers for our foster dogs! Kids of all ages will have the opportunity to read their favorite stories to our foster pups, providing valuable socialization for our dogs and helping children develop their reading skills. Let’s create unforgettable memories, one story at a time.

It is BYOB – bring your own book, or we will have options for your kiddo(s) to pick from.
