WordHaven is partnering with Sheboygan County Humane Society to share some quality time with humans, adoptable pets, and books!

A representative from the Humane Society will be here with applications if you find a love match with one of the adoptable pets in attendance at this event.

Free Event (Donations for the Humane Society Accepted)

School Board Member, Ryan Burg, will be our reader this month!

Meet Torx! Torx is a 7 year old shepard/pit mix. He was surrendered to the shelter because his owner didn't feel 100% comfortable with him around small children. Here at the shelter Torx is laid back and sweet. He is a wonderful walker and enjoys attention from volunteers. Torx would do best in a home with older children (10+) who can be respectful of his boundaries. Torx can take a bit to warm up, but he's super sweet once he gets to know you!

As a parent, one of Ryan's favorite activities was reading chapter books to his then young children. Through their shared experiences with him, Max and Alex still remember how to make sugar snow from Little House In The Big Woods, what Winnie the Pooh called Heffalumps and Woozles really are, and the definition of the word allegory from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. His love of reading to young kids is just as strong today, as Ryan volunteers at Bookworm Gardens regularly. Ryan currently serves on the Sheboygan Area School District Board of Education, a position he has held for 11 years; and is also a Senior Associate at HSA Bank.
