A literacy-based humane education program
Over 20,000 books distributed!
Since 2013 and until COVID hit in 2020 shutting down our schools, Granny Rose Animal Shelter and Pet Journey Press worked together to distribute Rescue Pup  and Rescue Kitty  books to first grade students in the Sauk Valley Regional area of Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties of Illinois serving 32 schools, 85 teachers and almost 2000 students every year. Children received books to keep and share with their families. We thank all of the schools for being a part of this program and kindly handing out the books to children each year. It is our hope that children will learn the importance of kindness, safety, and responsibility by reading Rescue Pup and Rescue Kitty. And finally, we hope that by reading these books, families may also be inspired to adopt a homeless animal and give it a forever home along with the love it deserves!
