Reading to "Tilly" and "Poppy" helps kids improve their literacy skills.
Monitor Elementary School and Springdale Animal Services are again working together to help first-graders increase reading skills. "Matilda", or "Tilly" for short, and "Poppy" arrive every Wednesday to a welcoming classroom of children. The students take turns reading their books aloud to these attentive dogs. As dogs don't judge, the kids get to develop their reading skills in a low stress setting.
"Matilda" is a gentle, 2 year old, Basset Hound/Border Collie mix. "Poppy", a 2 year old Cock-A-Poo, is a certified therapy dog. Both were adopted from Springdale Animal Services and now enjoy helping out with this program and other animal shelter events. The combined efforts of shelter staff, volunteers, teachers, and school administrators make this program a success and a pleasure for all involved. Thanks for your support!

Always accepting donations! Your help makes more of a difference than you know.
Springdale Animal Services provides shelter and care to over 3,000 animals each year. With the assistance of our generous donors we are able to provide even better care to these animals in need. The following “wish list” indicates some a few of our regular shelter needs.
- Dry and canned dog, puppy, cat, and kitten food
- Clay cat litter (No clumping litter please, too dusty/messy in our cages)
- Kuranda Pet Beds (can be ordered directly through our account)
- Grooming supplies, clippers, and blades
- Flea/Tick control (Frontline, K9 Advantage, etc.)
- Gift cards to pet supply stores
- Donations to our accounts at Crossover Veterinary Clinic, St. Francis Vet Clinic, and Best Friends Animal Hospital, to be used for vet care, spays/neuters, vaccines, and medications
- Donations to our Spay/Neuter Account (AS0701), Vaccination Account (AS0901), or Food Account (AS0902)
- Pet toys, collars, leashes, and treats
- Sponsorships to cover spay/neuter or adoption fees for specific animals to increase their adoptability.
We appreciate your interest in helping our community’s homeless animals. All donations are tax deductable and a receipt will be provided at your request. Donations may be dropped by the shelter during normal business hours or by appointment. Thank you for making our shelter and the animals we serve one of your priorities as well.
Special thanks to our generous business donors:
