This in-shelter reading program is open to youth ages 6–13, and sessions take place on Wednesday afternoons between 4:00pm and 4:30pm. Reading time is limited to 20 minutes.When registering, you may select cattery or kennel based on your child’s preference for reading to cats or dogs. While we do our best to honor these general preferences, we are not able to accept requests to read to specific animals. Our shelter staff thoughtfully selects which pets participate each week based on their needs, temperament, and wellbeing. Many of our animals greatly benefit from Tale for Two, and this program helps support all shelter animals by giving them comfort, confidence, and positive interactions.Please note that the shelter is closed to the public on Wednesdays, and visits during Tale for Two are exclusively for this program. Families will not be able to walk through the shelter, view additional animals, or receive adoption counseling during this time. If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to return during our regular open hours.Children may bring their own books or choose one from the VBSPCA Library.A minimum donation of $7 is required to reserve a space.Children cannot be left unattended under any circumstances. An adult must remain with their child at all times to ensure a safe and positive experience. If you have more than one child reading, each child must be registered separately. Each child must have an adult present with them; however, if two children are attending with only one adult, both children must read to the same animal. Due to space limitations, only the registered child and their accompanying adult may attend the session. Unregistered siblings or guests will not be able to join.Please arrive at 4:00pm to allow time for a full reading experience. We are unable to accommodate late arrivals after 4:10pm. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/tale-for-two-2026/100001098886401809 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 30 minutes - Location: Virginia Beach SPCA - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Virginia Beach - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Virginia Beach SPCA - **lat**: 36.7845567 - **long**: -76.0780489 - **full address**: Virginia Beach SPCA, 3040 Holland Road, Virginia Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tale for Two 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3400174883c31f75938690340c012eb9c8404c4828a5ffb9b7efcb6d4b7959bc-rimg-w1200-h600-dc029e8f-gmir.jpg?v=1769881526 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tale for Two 2026 being held? - **A:** Tale for Two 2026 takes place on Mon, 13 Jan, 2025 at 04:00 pm to Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Virginia Beach SPCA, 3040 Holland Road, Virginia Beach, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Tale for Two 2026? - **A:** Tale for Two 2026 is organized by Virginia Beach SPCA. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Tale for Two 2026", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3400174883c31f75938690340c012eb9c8404c4828a5ffb9b7efcb6d4b7959bc-rimg-w1200-h600-dc029e8f-gmir.jpg?v=1769881526", "startDate": "2025-01-13T16:00:00-05:00", "endDate": "2026-09-02T16:30:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/tale-for-two-2026/100001098886401809", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Virginia Beach SPCA", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "3040 Holland Road", "postalCode": "23453", "addressLocality": "Virginia Beach", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "36.7845567", "longitude": "-76.0780489" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "On a weekly basis, the VBSPCA welcomes young readers to the shelter to read to our shelter animals for a memorable, educational experience", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-01-31", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-02T16:30:00-05:00", "validFrom": "2026-01-31", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/tale-for-two-2026/100001098886401809" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-01-31", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-01-31", "url": "https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/tale-for-two-2026/100001098886401809", "price": 0, "name": "Tale for Two Reading Visit - Cattery" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-01-31", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-01-31", "url": "https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/tale-for-two-2026/100001098886401809", "price": 0, "name": "Tale for Two Reading Visit - Kennel" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Virginia Beach SPCA", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/virginia-beach-spca/22514871", "description": "It is the mission of the Virginia Beach Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (VBSPCA) to create a more humane and responsible community by eliminating animal suffering while increasing human compassion." } ] } ] ```
