Austin Dog Alliance is committed to making dogs a part of our community by promoting all the fun and joy of dogs.  We are using the love of a dog to inspire children to read and nursing home residents to smile.  We are using the love of dogs to teach kids respect and responsibility.  We believe that dogs can be enjoyed in many ways.  If you'd like to volunteer or learn more about our fun and educational events, visit our updated website at www.austindogalliance.org. 

K9 Kids Club is an after school program for dog loving kids in fourth and fifth grades.  This program teaches responsibility, increases self esteem and teaches respect for law enforcement,  the disabled, and animals.    In the midst of all the learning, the kids have a great time.  In fact, last year, several kids used their own money from allowance or birthday gifts to attend a second session.   We are offering the following sessions this fall:
  
Griffith Animal Hospital in Cedar Park
September 25 - October 30   
3:30 or 5:00

Romp N' Run Ranch in Leander

Our reading dog pet therapy program, Bow Wow Buddies, has expanded to several more elementary and middle schools within LISD and AISD.    We are also going to read with children the first Saturday of every month at the Leander Public Library.  The new Dell Children's Hospital and area nursing homes are also looking for pet therapy teams to visit their patients.  Attend our seminar to learn more.
