Volunteering at Oak Ridge Animal shelter
After I finish school at Roane State Community College, I often volunteer for at least an hour cleaning kennels, feeding dogs and cats, and walking dogs around the property! I originally started volunteering to get hours for the River's Edge honors program, but I quickly became fond of helping in that environment and with the animals and people. I have continued to volunteer even after I graduated high school.
