Little Helpers Read to Animal Shelter Adoptees
Families with children are invited to volunteer at the Collierville Animal Shelter this Saturday, June 22nd from 11 am to Noon. Children can participate by reading to shelter dogs and bringing donations! Reading to dogs is enjoyable for the children and helps to socialize the dogs!

“This is a great way to introduce families to the Collierville Animal Shelter! Reading to dogs is enjoyable for the children and helps to socialize the dogs! When these children are 16, they’ll be old enough to volunteer at the shelter on a regular basis.” ~ Melissa Troxler, Little Helpers Board Member
The Little Helpers of Memphis Area Facebook group has teamed up with the CAS staff for this special event! It is geared to include children and young teens since regular volunteers at the shelter must be 16 and older. We encourage children to learn about Friends of the Collierville Animal Shelter from a young age! CAS address: 603 E South St, Collierville, TN 38017
