On Mar. 15, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. a group of Anderson New Technology High School juniors is encouraging people to visit Anderson River Park and participate in their Animal Shelter Day.
Representatives of various home, farm and wildlife animal shelters will provide information for the public.
Some of the activities include a dog agility demonstration and a woman from a wildlife rescue who is bringing a fox. Safe Haven Horse Rescue will show miniature horses .
Refreshments will be provided by teens from the Anderson Teen Center.
Every junior at Anderson New Technology High School has to put together a “junior proJect,” Instead of working alone, however, the juniors work in teams.
Eirene VasQuez, a former volunteer at Haven Humane Society, mentors the group and offers suggestions on how to handle aspects of the project.
Anne Kinnier hopes that people will “leave with a better understanding of some of the amazing shelters in our area, and about the lives of animals that they can touch.”
